Ratings and Reviews
Great customer service.
I am giving this rating for their customer service prompt and polite reply. Due to an error I ended up subscribed to the app. It was my fault and they were great. My only reason fur not using the app is that it isn't relevant to my line of work. However, they replied immediately with all the information I needed. I know this review isn't about the app itself, I just think it makes a huge difference when someone takes the time to contact you and acknowledge you. Thanks team Leaky Nozzle
Good- Needs updating
Update Oct 2024- I am excited to hear a new owner is resurrecting the app and will update this app in due course- I have been in talks with the new owner on Facebook and email and hope this is something to get excited about. Watch this space.
I have used this app for many many many years and don't get me wrong- it is brilliant. However a lot of similar type apps have caught up with Spark over the last few years (such as Supershift) and this app is starting to feel clunky. Don't get me wrong- it does what it needs to do but it's the difference between when Microsoft does something and Apple does something- currently this app is Microsoft, functional but a bit old and clunky. It needs to have the 'Apple' twist- look better, more user friendly and be more sleek. Supershift is not as good as this app in that it doesn't calculate rest days and leave hours etc, but it looks and feels premium and is a one off payment to get some decent features. I don't mind paying the annual subscription for this app but for me to continue it's got to step up to the plate.
Developer Response ,
I enjoyed our discussion via email and Facebook. There are reasons apps that are free or a one time payment don't offer certain features Spark does. That being said, when the refresh of Spark is complete in the next six "ish" months, there will be no discussion about Apple vs Microsoft, Reebok vs Nike, or subscription vs one time payment. Spark will be the only shift worker app worth talking about. See you on the other side. Matt
Thanks
Having had some reservations with some aspects of the latest update to this app I am very pleased to see that the developer listens to constructive feedback and has made welcome changes to the latest version. This app is invaluable to me and probably the most used on my iPhone. Thanks for listening and keep up the good work!
