- 📦Shift Worker updated to version 1.7.3What's new in 1.7.3
• Fixed a crash that could happen when opening a backup file by email.
What's new in 1.7.2
• Go to Month now reaches back five years instead of two, so older shifts are easy to find. There's also a new Today button that takes you straight back to the current month.
• You can now turn Calendar Sync off without resubscribing. Open the Calendar Sync screen and tap "Turn Off Calendar Sync". The shifts already on your calendar stay exactly as they are.
• Tidied up the layout of the Shift Manager, Rotation Manager, Week Pattern and Start of Week screens, and fixed the weeks and days picker being partly cut off when creating a new rotation on taller phones.
• Synced shifts no longer show a website address where a location would normally go.
• Tell your Friends now has a genuine Share to Facebook option, plus a general Share… button that opens your iPhone's own share sheet.
• Feedback & Support, Tell your Friends and Write a Review have a tidier new look, matching the rest of Settings, with modern Facebook, Instagram and X icons.
• Fixed Write a Review not doing anything when tapped.
• Fixed the links shared by email, text message, backup-by-email, and Tell your Friends
• Tidied up the layout of the Shift Manager, Rotation Manager, Week Pattern and Start of Week screens
• Fixed a compatibility issue with iOS 15
What's new in 1.7.1
• Notes now show every line. If you wrote a note on more than one line, only the first line appeared below the calendar. All your lines show now.
What's new in 1.7.0
Added:
• Sync your shifts straight to your calendar. Turn on Calendar Sync (from Settings, or the new shortcut icon on the main screen) and every shift automatically appears in your device's Calendar app, staying up to date on its own whenever a shift changes. No manual re-syncing needed!
• Choose exactly which calendar your shifts go to, including a shared or family calendar if you'd rather everyone see your schedule there.
• Pick when you want to be reminded - no alert, right at the time of the shift, or anywhere from 5 minutes up to a full week beforehand.
• Calendar Sync is a subscription (monthly or yearly) option.
Improved:
• If you sync to a calendar shared with others, a note now explains they'll see your shift updates too.
• Re-syncing no longer rewrites events that haven't actually changed, so anyone else on a shared calendar isn't pinged with "this event changed" notifications for nothing.
• Only your current and future shifts get synced. Past history isn't back-filled, but a shift that was already synced stays on your calendar even once its date has passed, instead of quietly disappearing.
• Turning sync off now also cleanly removes the shifts it had added to your calendar.
Fixed:
• Reminders sometimes not showing up at all on newly-added synced shifts.
• Reminders occasionally only "sticking" on the last shift when several were synced at once.
• Swipe-to-delete not working in Shift Manager.
• Bulk Actions rows not responding to taps.
• Importing a .swc/.swb backup file skipping the calendar picker.
• Sync occasionally reading from the wrong calendar rather than the one you had actively selected.
• Bottom toolbar buttons (the calendar and settings icons especially) occasionally not responding to the very first tap.… more - 📦Shift Worker: now updating weekly4 updates in 30 days, after a quiet two months

About Shift Worker
A traditional calendar is not always ideal for shift workers. Sometimes it's not easy to see your upcoming shift schedule very clearly, especially if your shifts don't fall into the traditional working week. Shift Worker solves this problem and turns the frustrating task of entry into a quick and easy experience.
Shift Worker allows you to create your own types of shifts by combining visually-attractive icons with letters/numbers so that they can be easily identified at a glance. By including a range of icons (such as suns and stars for day and night shifts) in a variety of colors, any combination is possible for all types of shifts.
Entering shifts can be done quickly by simply selecting a type of shift and tapping on each date it occurs. An entire month of shifts could be entered in seconds, an entire year in a few minutes!
In addition, Shift Worker allows you create multiple calendars to see friends and family shifts! You can send your shifts to others so they can also see your shifts at a glance as an image or in their copy of Shift Worker. To make things even simpler, you can even save your shifts to your iPhone/iPod's background so that referring to your upcoming shift schedule is as simple as picking up your iPhone/iPod.
Shift Worker also includes the ability to create colored personalized notes for each date. Notes can be used anytime additional information needs to be added to a date.
FEATURES:
- Create a virtually unlimited amount of shift types
- Enter shifts on the calendar months in advance in seconds
- Add your rotation and automatically fill the calendar in a few simple steps
- Show friends and family shifts using multiple calendars
- View the calendar in timeline format to see your shift flow at a glance
- Create colored personalized notes for any date on the calendar
- Include week of year or week 1/2 alternating pattern on calendar
- Jump to any month by using the "Goto" button
- Save a month's worth of shifts to your background
- Share your shifts to others via email, messages and social media.
- Import other Shift Worker shifts and view them all within the one app
- No ads!
