    Must have for any multi tasker

    5

    I have used shift for over 4 years as a way to consolidate my windows for notifications, bookmarks, and important applications/websites I'm tracking. I choose what notifications I want to recieve and it keeps them saved and easy to bring back up after a restart. I haven't experienced any performance drain like you sometimes get when multiple browsers are open.

    Pros:
    Ease of use, simple. I love having all my social media sites, emails, Cloud Locations in one place. The add-ons for all the tabs really helps. I like that I do not have to have all my browser windows open.
    Cons:
    At the start before the update in July 2019, MS Teams worked really well. NOW, it does not work and locks up the application completely, to the point that I have no choice but to remove it from my shift. The lack of 64 Client is also an issue, I am sure with an i9 CPU processor the use of more than a 32-bit application has its limitations. But, I wish it would use more of the active CPU usage so that I can utilize this.

    Reasons for switching to Shift

    Too costly and no integration with my needed application.

    Vendor Response

    Thank you for the review! We're very happy to hear you love having multiple apps in one location in Shift. Are you still having an issue with MS Teams? If so, our support team would love to hear from you: https://support.tryshift.com/new.

    I needed an app for monitoring my gmail account with desktop notifications. With emphasis of faster experience.

    Gosh, where to begin. I loved the software the minute I watched the promo. Thought it was too good to be true, then tried the free version and then fell in love and invested in the pro version - BEST MONEY SPENT. Been using it ever since I found it in early July. GREAT feature and keeps me focused and productive. LOVE LOVE LOVE the software!

    I love how it cuts down on my CPU usage. Chrome takes lots of memory and Shift seems to do the job with 1/3 of the power. I love how I can have my Whatsup, text messages, and emails all in one spot. LOVE IT!
    Cons:
    I would love if we can have the mute notification for longer than 24 hrs and also enable that on more than just the email.

    Reasons for switching to Shift

    Not very organized. Didn't fix the CPU usage issue like Shift does.

    Thank you for the review! We're happy to hear that you love Shift. It is possible to mute notifications for up to 99 hours and 99 minutes and it is possible to mute notifications for mail, calendar and apps.

    Cons:
    Maybe once a week it freezes up and logs you out of one or more gmail, so have to log back in and resets... so if you had a bunch of tabs open good luck. Seems to happen more often when bouncing between wifis and travelling.

    Great solution to having all of your apps "under one roof"

    I've been using Shift for several years and really like its ease of use and ability to add almost any app I can think of. It allows me to seamlessly switch between apps I use for my business and doesn't log me out, even if I haven't been active for awhile. I like that they are constantly improving it as it lets me know that the developers care about the quality of the product.

    It can be buggy and quit unexpectedly. They also still haven't fixed the issue with Google Docs when using an M series Mac although I think this may be a Google issue that they have no control over.
