Oilfield Calendar 4+

Only One Like It

My husband works in TX and our new baby baby and I are in CA. We always got the dates wrong when we tried to look ahead so he suggested I see if App Store has anything. Found this app and it’s exactly what we needed! We were able to see that if he made a rig change in middle of current hitch it would help him line up days off perfectly to be Home for our sons first birthday 5 months ahead of time! Love it! He is telling all his rig mates to get the app too.

Nice but not perfect

I think the developers are definitely on to something here! I work offshore and it is nice to be able to look ahead and see when I will be off. However it would be nice to keep up with it on your regular calendar on iPhone that way you wouldn't have to jump back and forth, sync it with your wife's app or with another devices app so no matter where you look it all says the same information. At the same time if you have to make changes then you don't have to go to every device and make the same changes then call your wife to explain to her why or how to change the current schedule. You could also have information on there that is tallied or forecasted on how many days you have worked, how many days you have off, etc. then when making a new hitch or editing a hitch if there was a way to add travel days. The reason I say this is bc I work in Australia and I leave 3 days before crew change and get back 2-3 days after crew change. Then on top of that if it was linked to you calendar you could add flight information and it would update all your devices, your wife's and your calendar. This ensures that she has no excuse to be late to the airport or not know pertinent information concerning your flight home or to work. Overall it is user friendly and has a clean/nice look too it. I would recommend it and would suggest the previous updates to the app.

Something is Off

I have enjoyed the Oil Field Calendar for 5+ years and have urged multiple co-workers with the rotating schedule. They all say they love it! It is the best I’ve found. I’m able to look well over a year ahead to schedule events around my work days. However, I noticed this morning that December 2019 doesn’t exist...it is labeled December 2020. I looked for a bug fix, but haven’t been able to find anything. I also tried to sign in for tech help, but it would not connect to the server. It is important for me to have the correct date because I often use a screenshot of my schedules in correspondence to eliminate confusion.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Developer Response ,

We really appreciate you recommending our app and the heads up on the bug. We’ve been a bit absentee on updates and correspondence but were working on both. We are testing a new version now. It should be in the stores for updating within a couple weeks.
