HotSchedules Android App Unveiled

Since the release of our scheduling application for BlackBerry and iPhone, HotSchedules users have been asking us when we’d have a version for Android mobile devices. Well, today we’re proud to announce the official launch of the much-anticipated Android app, available in the Android Market for $2.99.

We’re thrilled to join the thriving Android community, especially as recent figures show that one of every three phones being sold now is powered by Android.

HotSchedules is all about making the chore of restaurant scheduling as quick and simple as pushing a button, and we hope our Android app will make HotSchedules an even more powerful tool for our users.

Like our other mobile apps, the initial release of the Android app is focused on employee-level access first. Manager functionality including dashboard access is coming in a future update. We’re exploring adding Google Calendar integration as well.

In the meantime, we want to hear your thoughts about the new app and any ideas you have for improving it. Give us a shout on Twitter or Facebook—both are great resources for discussing HotSchedules with other users and keeping track of what’s coming next.

Where do you get off charging for this? Shouldn't this be a service to your customers?

how do i get the HotSchedules Android app from the market? I search and it comes up that there is no application for HotSchedules. What am I doing wrong?

yeah seriously, we work in restaurants. we can't afford to spend money on stuff like this. it would be very useful to have ahem.

I understand that a company must make money, but this seems to be the wrong way. Charging me $3 so i can check my schedule from an app seems a bit unethical. My place of work uses only hot schedules, i dont have a choice.Iif this was .99 I would buy it but for $3, absolutely not.
