Before you ask
Billing questions
Does the free version expire?
No. There is no trial timer. The free app tracks your own rotation indefinitely.
How do I cancel?
Through your Apple Account, the same as any other App Store subscription: Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancelling there stops the renewal; we never see or hold your payment details.
What happens to my schedule if I stop paying?
Your own schedule, calendar, overrides and widgets keep working — they are part of the free app. You lose the Watch companion and drop back to the free limit on how many other people's schedules you can follow. Nothing is deleted.
Is the yearly plan really cheaper?
Yes. $49.99 a year against $4.99 a month works out about 16% cheaper, roughly $4.17 a month.
Do the people I share with have to pay?
No. They download the free app and enter your 6-character code. Pro is what lets you follow an unlimited number of schedules, not what lets others see yours.
