MakeShift for Employees 4+

Upgrades 🤔

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

Following up on suggested changes

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 :)

Hi TuttiHead, thank you for providing your feedback! We will pass this along to our product team for future improvements. We would recommend that you check out our feature that allows you to see who else is working. Please click on any day, and in the top right corner you will a People icon. This will show you who else is working in your department and perhaps may be able to help you exchange your shifts more effectively. If you have any further questions or feedback, please feel free to contact us at support@makeshift.ca. Have a great day!

Good app, would like to know who messages are sent to

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.
