MakeShift for Employees

I have an Apple phone and have synced my schedule to my calendar and all the times are two hrs ahead, I can’t seem to figure out how to changed that or get a persistent banner showing my next shift I agree with the need for highlighting today differently, the bold number is hard to tell I agree with the need for a master schedule view, it’s cumbersome to have to use the people icon four each separate day As a schedule maker it’d be great to be able to assign colours to people’s names or to different shifts or have a view to group the same shifts together, so I don’t always have to keep counting to see if I have enough people scheduled for a given shift… or heck, all three of those options would be even better

Hi Devs, Just want to reiterate what I think would make this app a lot more user friendly: 1. Highlighting the current day of the week in a different colour. The bold numbers only is difficult to see. Perhaps even changing the date into bold + a different colour. That can’t be difficult to code 2. Adding a “today” button, so that when you scroll through different months of the schedule, to get you back to today, you can reach with a click of a button 3. Again MASTER SCHEDULE VIEW—-I appreciate that you can click on the people icon, but it’s still cumbersome to only be able to view one day at a time. A separate dedicated view of the entire month master schedule would be very handy when looking to trade shifts. 4. Again PUSH NOTIFICATIONS WHEN SOMEONE POSTS A SHIFT. At present, if any of us post a shift for trade or giveaway, NONE of my colleagues know unless they specifically check for a posted shift. We all have to message each other on another app to inform, which defeats the purpose of posting it on the app. A simple push notification on our smartphones (along with an email notification) when someone posts a shift would be SO HELPFUL. If concerned would be too intrusive, add a toggle to turn them off for the individual. Please make these changes as soon as you can. We’re finding as an organization that, as it stands, MakeShift is not improving our productivity as much as we thought it would, and some minor changes could make it so much worthwhile for us. I think anyone else who uses this app would find these changes helpful also. Thank you :)

My shift supervisor sends some messages to the group, and some messages just to me, but I can’t tell the difference because it doesn’t say who the message was sent to. It would be nice to tell if a message was sent just to me, or to others as well.

Just got it today for work, and by reading the reviews, I’ll be honest I got a little worried. Hopefully it won’t crash on me. I guess this is pretty helpful app in terms of conveniency and having everyone in the group. The only downside I see from this is that I won’t get messages anymore from my coworkers. I usually don’t have much friends and I only receive texts rarely. I really do enjoy the small talk my coworkers and I have before they convince me in taking their shifts. Well there’s my rant and hopefully this app won’t take away the social life I have.

My boss told me to try this app, it’s garbage, can’t even sign in. This app is as good as my boss Melanie Still doesn’t work. This time my boss tried.

Love the repeating availability; however, there is no way to turn it off for long periods of time. If you enter availability without implementing an end date, or if you enter a distant end date, you will have to manually change each day, potentially forever, should your availability change.

Makes it so much easier to manage my schedule

Love this app, makes scheduling my shifts super easy. Every place should have this!

I hate the new update! It changed the time to a 12 hour clock. I am a shift worker, I prefer the 24 hour clock. I have looked on the app to change it back and I don't see any options for 24 hour time. Please make the 12 hour clock optional.

Great app, but when I tried to sync it to my calendar, it's all one hour ahead. Very frustrating!!
