My Shift Planner is not syncing with my phone calendar

Nine times in ten it is one of two things: sync is a Pro feature, or the calendar you sent the shifts to is not switched on in your phone.

Check these in order

  1. Is Calendar Sync part of your plan? Device calendar sync sits inside the Pro Pack on the app's own listing. On the free tier there is nothing to troubleshoot.
  2. Is the target calendar visible on the phone? The app's support steps start here: make sure the calendar you are syncing into is turned on in the phone's own calendar settings. Shifts written to a calendar the phone is not displaying look exactly like shifts that never arrived.
  3. Pick the calendar explicitly. In the app's sync settings, select the third-party calendar you want the shifts in, set how the events should look, and confirm.
  4. Look in the phone calendar first, not in the other app. Their support is firm about this order, and it is right: if the shifts are in the phone calendar but not in the family display you are looking at, the fault is in the sharing, not the sync.

BlueShifts. Plan Your Year. Own Your Time.

The shift calendar built for your rotation, off-duty work, and life on and off the clock.

Everything below is on your phone in a couple of minutes: the rotation, the off-duty work, and what it earned you.

Turning it off, and the mess it leaves

Switching Calendar Sync off should remove the shifts it copied over, and the app has a clear function for emptying a chosen calendar if any are left behind. Worth doing before you change patterns, or you end up with two rotas overlaid on the same month.

The wider point

A synced calendar is a copy. Every copy is another place a schedule can be wrong.

BlueShifts starts in the same place — a repeating rotation drawn on a month — and then covers the part of the job a general shift calendar was never asked to hold: the off-duty jobs, by employer, with the hours, the pay, the miles and whether the money has actually arrived.

How this page was put together

Everything above about My Shift Planner comes from MyBuzz Technologies Limited's own published material, read on 6 September 2026. Where their material does not cover something, this page says so rather than guessing — an app can do things its listing never mentions. Nothing here is a test of the app itself.

Listings and support pages change. If something here is out of date or wrong, tell us and it gets fixed.
