RotaFlow 3.10 adapts its layout to iPhone Duo, iPad multitasking and resized windows. It also makes widgets, reminders, Siri, sync, pay and overtime more reliable.
On iPhone Duo, Today and Calendar spread across the large inner display: your shift sits beside upcoming days, the month sits beside the day’s agenda, and nothing lands on the fold.
Layouts adapt to the space available, so iPad multitasking and resized windows look right. Tabs keep their place when you fold, unfold or resize.
Widgets and Apple Watch switch to the new day at midnight, show “No rota yet” until you save a schedule, and stay readable in StandBy.
Shift reminders and notifications follow your rota’s time zone, even after you travel.
Siri and Shortcuts phrases work in all 17 languages. With Siri open beside RotaFlow, it can see the rota day you’re viewing.
Pay and overtime are more accurate: decimal rates and hours work again, and each overtime entry keeps the rate it was saved with.
Sync Recovery keeps the last 10 copies of each kind of data, so you can choose which one to restore by date.
Confirmed Trade Board trades now update both people’s rotas, and deleting entries asks for confirmation first.
3.00Major update
A clearer rota, with more ways to plan.
RotaFlow 3.00 refreshes Today and Calendar, adds safer date-range editing, brings personal calendars alongside your rota and makes planning across schedule profiles easier.
The refreshed Today view highlights your shift and the next change. Calendar opens details for the selected date and rota.
Review special days, shift swaps, and working hours across a date range before saving. Undo supported batch edits for up to 30 minutes.
Show events from selected personal calendars beside your rota; they are read only in RotaFlow. See a monthly estimate of how working hour changes affect pay.
Compare scheduled days off across rotas and prepare a Calendar draft with times you choose.
Create repeating patterns for 2-on/2-off, 3-on/3-off, and 4-on/2-off. Choose between fixed shifts and rotating blocks for 4-on/4-off, with corrected Pitman/Panama 2-2-3 and 28-day DuPont patterns.
Choose which rota appears in your Home Screen or Lock Screen widget. Watch overtime entries stay pending until your phone confirms the save.
