Mobile App Update: Revamped Shifts, New Nav

What’s new

The latest Rootly app update for iOS and Android brings a smoother, faster shift management experience. In the Shifts section, you can now browse and manage your schedule more easily, request coverage from teammates, and accept coverage requests, all with a refreshed, streamlined design.

How it works

  • Upgrade your Rootly App to the latest version: the app update is available through the Apple Store and the Android Marketplace.
  • Submit Shift Coverage Requests: Request coverage directly from teammates for your on-call shifts.
  • Accept Coverage Requests; Accept a request from a teammate to be automatically assigned to their shift.
  • Revamped Shift Page: Improved design for easier browsing and management of upcoming shifts.
  • Updated Navigation Bar: Cleaner and more intuitive layout for faster access to key features.

Key benefits

  • Simplified shift changes: Submit or accept coverage requests in just a few taps, reducing coordination time.
  • More control on the go: Manage shifts from anywhere without needing to switch to desktop or opening Slack.
  • Improved visibility: Quickly see who’s on call and upcoming schedule changes at a glance.
