Shifty 3.2

Shifty is a scheduling application designed for small businesses and individuals. Its core approach is to enter data that changes infrequently, such as shift patterns, staff members, and duties, and then build schedules by dragging and dropping combinations of those items. Once the underlying information is in place, creating a schedule requires little more than arranging these elements in the desired layout.

Shifty was originally developed for restaurants, pubs, and shops, but its use has extended to a broader range of settings, including families, security companies, tour guides, charities, schools, churches, medical practices, and gardening services.

User feedback has generally praised the application's ease of use and its drag-and-drop interface. Reviewers have noted that it reduces the time spent on scheduling, with one describing a two-week schedule that previously took two hours being completed in about 20 minutes. Others highlighted the ability to duplicate shifts from week to week and to share schedule changes with staff by email. Several users mentioned a short learning curve, and one recommended consulting the online manual to make the most of the application's features. Some reviewers also described the layout as clear and easy for staff to read.

Shifty has a worldwide average rating of 4.5 stars, based on more than 300 ratings from countries where the app is rated, as calculated in October 2020. Because each country's App Store displays only its own ratings and reviews, this figure reflects the aggregate across markets.

Further information, including the manual and video demonstrations, is available at ShiftyApp.com and through the "Shifty Support" link on the app's page. Videos can also be found by searching for "ShiftyApp" on YouTube. A free version, Shifty Jr, is available on the App Store for those who want to evaluate the application before purchasing the full version.
