Pros and cons of ShiftOMatic app for iPhone and iPad

ShiftOMatic app good for

Finally a simple way to have my shift rotations and calendar events in one place. It feels like you are using Apples native calendar. The in-app tutorial is well done too.
Having downloaded (and deleted) many many shift apps glad to see that one app finally got it right. I havent tried every part yet but love how simple and easy it is to make rotations and email them.
This App is excellent for people who have shift work and still useful for people that dont. There are a ton of options that make this app the best and one of the most comprehensive calendars!!
I installed it and already had my work calendar incorporated. Sweeeeet. Picked my work calendar and combined with my gym "shifts". Will play around some more to make better use of it.
Had been looking for such an app for a while and have finally found it. Does more than what I need.
In 5 minutes I had my rotation in and knew my schedule forever! So easy to use and make changes to. I just regret not downloading this app sooner!
