"Organizes all of my emails and calendars flawlessly!"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I've been using Shift for a few years now, and it's been a total game changer for managing my inboxes and calendars. The ability to toggle between multiple email accounts and calendars in one unified interface has seriously streamlined my workflow. It's intuitive, clean, and saves me from tab overload. Highly recommend for anyone juggling multiple accounts or platforms! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

The app can feel a bit sluggish at times, especially when switching between accounts or loading calendars. It would also be great to see more customization options for notifications and layout preferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

Thank you for your loyalty and for sharing your positive experience with Shift! We understand the importance of a seamless and efficient workflow, and we're committed to addressing performance issues and enhancing customization options. Your support means a lot to us!

"Quick, easy to use, all in one place"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I use three google suite for work and other app, that are all in one place with Shift.

This is the best feature I link, to have all under control in one click, without switching from window to window every time.

I also use Whatsapp and other social apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Sometimes the apps and the integrations are not completely the same as the stand alone apps, i.e. whatsapp (there is a slightly difference between whatsapp in shift and whatsapp web). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

It's great to hear that Shift is helping you manage multiple accounts and apps efficiently. We're committed to providing a seamless and productive workspace, and your input is valuable in helping us achieve that goal. You are correct - when adding apps to Shift, it is the web app in use. Depending on the app, there may be differences between the web app and the desktop/mobile version, but that is expected.

"Boosted My Productivity with Seamless Account Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I love that Shift allows me to seamlessly transition between multiple email accounts and workspaces, helping me manage different clients effortlessly. The integration of various plugins, like GroupMe and messaging apps, centralizes all my communications. Shift's passkey integration and password manager have significantly simplified managing multiple accounts, reducing frustration. Furthermore, the stability and effective customer service have been outstanding. The neat integrations that don't take up much screen real estate, yet keep everything accessible, are particularly impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I hate having to use the LastPass plugin in Shift because it requires logging in for every Chrome instance, which is cumbersome and inconvenient. Furthermore, the LastPass extension doesn't work well for me within Shift, which adds to my frustration. Thankfully, using the password manager in Shift has mostly mitigated this issue, as it's been seamless and effective. However, if Shift could incorporate the functionality of Motion, it would eliminate the need for me to juggle two different apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're thrilled to hear that Shift has made managing your multiple Google Work accounts easier and more secure. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that our regular updates and new features have been beneficial for you and your clients.

"Seamless Workspace Management, Highly Recommend"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I've been using Shift for about ten years primarily to set up my primary workspaces to increase my productivity and avoid having multiple apps open in multiple windows. I love how Shift leverages Google Workspace to create a tightly integrated environment across multiple businesses. Setting up was easy, the hundreds of app integrations stunned me, and configuring each space was a great experience. The unified search is incredibly powerful for solving inefficiency problems, and having apps installed in either a single workspace or across workspaces provides a consistent interface. I can install Shift on multiple systems, and it brings my environment up without leaving any footprint. I give it a 10 out of 10 and consistently recommend it to others as an evangelist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I like the original app logo, so I wish they would turn back to the former app icon! ;-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're thrilled to hear that Shift is helping you seamlessly manage your work environments and save time!

"Super neat solution for someone who's quite OCD about organisation"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I LOVE that all my inboxes and communications are in one place. Makes it easier to stay organised. It was easy to connect to all my account and I literally use it every minute of every day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Very occasionally I will get signed out of a mail account (because of an issue with the mail provider) and I have to relaunch Shift to get back in. No big deal though - I've never been concerned enough to report it as a bug - but I know if I did, they'd repsond and fix quickly, as they have with any other minor issues I've mentioned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Shift! We understand the frustration of getting signed out of a mail account occasionally, and we appreciate your patience.

"Very goo product"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

Having all in one place and not having to jump between applications. And when you learn the keyboard shortcuts for Shift and the applications that you use within shift, the productivity goes to the next level Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Sometimes applications are not fully well integrated. Example: Slack. In addition, wanting to change the main email account associated with the Shift account is a challenge. Also, the main google account must always be the first one on the left top, you can change the order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Shift and for highlighting the productivity benefits of having all your applications in one place. We understand your concerns about application integration and changing the main email account.

"Shift into a higher gear"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I've been using Shift now for >5 years now. I use it all day, every day. It enables me to manage all of my various email accounts and document workspaces (Google and Microsoft) in a single, unified webapp, including an integrated search capability across all documents, emails, calendar items, contacts and internet. Amazing UX/UI. I'm also able to load Shift onto ANY desktop computer, mine, a friend's, at a business center, etc. Login as me, an voila, I'm able to access all of the same info, without setting up my accounts on friends, family or stranger's browsers. Finally, Shift supports hundreds of 3rd party app integrations into this single browser-based interface. Fast tech support response times as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

RAM required to run and work in Shift can grow extensively, if one has a lot of tabs and docs open. They continue to make great strides on active memory management, which I greatly appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to hear that Shift has been instrumental in unifying your workspaces and email accounts. We are committed to optimizing our platform's performance, including active memory management, to ensure a seamless experience for our users.

"The only way to keep up with mutiple email addresses!"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

As a virtual assistant, I have many email accounts to keep up with. Shift is the only tool that I've found to manage 20+ email accounts efficiently. Not only can I immediately see notification numbers for each of the accounts but I'm also able to add social media profiles that I check on regularly. The best part is that I do not have to log in and out of each account! I really don't know what I would do without Shift. I reccommend it all of the time fellow virtual assistants as well of many of my clients that have multiple email addresses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Some of the email accounts occasionally become disconnected but it is usually not too hard to get longed back in again. And some of the applications that I have tried do not seem to work seamlessly with Shift. Maybe that will improve over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're glad to hear that Shift is helping you manage multiple email addresses and client accounts efficiently. Don't hesitate to reach out to Shift Support if you need a hand adding apps next time! Or check out our Knowledge base for helpful self-serve articles.

"Shift is my control center"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I love having all my email accounts (about a half-dozen) in one place. I used to miss messages when I had to log out and log back into email to see them, and now it's as easy as toggling between accounts on the left margin. I think of Shift as a control center, a big board where I can easily and quickly see what's going on—it's the first thing I look at every time I turn on the computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I have tried adding applications to monitor things like Slack via Shift as well, and (at least for the applications I've used) found that I lose some of the functionality of the individual applications themselves. I would love to be able to add Threads and Bluesky to Shift, though, so I'll keep an eye out for those being an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

Thanks for taking the time to share about your experience with Shift! We're glad to hear that Shift has made managing multiple email accounts easier for you! When adding an app to Shift, it's always the web version that's added, which for some apps means there is some differing functionality than the desktop version, but beyond that we strive to ensure apps work as expected in Shift. We'll take your feedback and see what improvements are available to ensure that apps are working as expected in Shift.
