Ratings and reviews

The app works pretty well except for one major annoying flaw. It will not allow me to make phone calls from within the app. I have checked permissions, but nothing can get it to work. I can tap on the text message icon and send a text, or copy the phone number and then call that way, but it should be as easy as tapping the phone button and making a phone call.

Good app, but needs improvements. A monthly team calendar view would be more efficient than weekly navigation. Bulk messaging for team notices would save time. Team leads should get push alerts for accepted/denied requests. Team members should also be notified of schedule changes, like shift removals.

Creating a new message to be emailed is fine for short messages, but the app needs to be fixed so that the text already typed in, will scroll up as someone is continuing to type. As it is now, the length of a message is very limited.
