…switch shifts on your calender easily. Everything is multiple steps. Very frustrating not user friendly app. Would happily delete but the best function is being able to see co-workers schedules. That's it.
FrustratedNurseGrid Nurse Shift Calendar — Always online This app will not work without an internet connection! I understand that the internet is needed to see my colleagues schedules but let me look at my scheduled shifts without having to be online! It’s ridiculous.
Doesn't work…etely unusable and useless if you don't have decent internet service. I wish it could still be accessed offline.
Wishes it existed…with my Apple calendar. However after the last update it has stopped. Super frustrating.
