Not a good fit

2022-05-24

App told me I wasn’t a good fit... what a waste of time

Trouble with adding podcasts

2022-06-25

App keeps crashing on the discovery section for podcasts making it impossible to add any, which kind of makes Shift useless. I don’t currently use any of the integrated podcast platforms, though there is technically a way to still get podcasts from other services (just not easily from an i-device) I get it, Apple locks their devices down and I shouldn’t gripe about not having free rein over being able to easily port information over.
Another annoying issue is I connected Spotify and it can’t seem to see/find all my playlists. There’s a playlist I like that’s a fair bit down in my lists because I’ve saved a few (and I’ll admit it’s one of the oldest lists I have on there, but I still listen to it) this doesn’t find it.

doesn’t work

2022-07-26

I really like the idea behind it, and I enjoyed looking through the different things Shift has to offer when I first downloaded it... now all it does is buffer then crash. It won’t let me do anything anymore.

Really?! It needs improvements

2022-08-27

Hi, I just came from Reddit and wanted to check it out.

Bad: Remove the quiz intro. Don’t tell the customers whether they’re a good fit or not. You have to realize people come to Shift for different reasons. Maybe you did this because you don’t want people to ask or complain about things beyond the basis of Shift. Perhaps it’s better to do objective explanation at the beginning

Good: Nice design. Easy to use. It has many options to satisfy customers’ needs.

Buffers and crashes

2022-09-28

I'd love to support your awesome idea (which is the reason I'm not doing 1-star) but I've tried several times to get this working and have only had frustration with it. Hopefully you work out the bugs, I'll give it another try in a couple months. Best of luck.

Great developer and app

2022-10-29

I’ve been studying for exams, and I subscribe to a review podcast. I wanted to listen to it during my daily workouts, but there are those times when I need to focus on the workout and can’t pay attention to the podcast. Then I found Shift. It’s exactly what I needed. The switching using the pause button on my headphones is great.

I had a question about Shift and submitted a feedback request at the beginning of my workout. The developer had replied with the answer, complete with a video tutorial on how to fix my issue by the end of my workout 😎 Major props to the developer. Thanks for Shift !

Genius

2022-11-30

Whoever thought about making Shift is a genius; thank you so much for making my workouts fun.

God bless you!

Works perfect especially with AirPods.

2022-12-31

Just finished my first workout and it Shift was a game changer. I used its default settings. Chose a podcast. Connected Spotify. Found a playlist and started my workout. Lifted to music. Tapped my ear and switched to a minute of podcasts. When music came back I knew it was time to hit it. Then tap tap, and I’m back to podcast. Awesome.

Super awesome, actually helpful app

2023-02-01

Was gaming and came across this add for this app. It’s pretty cool. Basically it is a timer but while the timer is running music plays for the workout of choice (strength, running, cardio, maintaining). You set the range, let’s say 3 minutes of intense exercise for every minute of ‘rest’. During the rest periods a podcast will play. It is cool because you set the timer and forget scrolling or fussing with technology and can complete your interval training. It is really that simple.

Changed the game

2023-03-05

Dumb changed the game

Super useful for podcasts and hard sets

2023-04-03

It would also be nice to have speeds up to 3.5x.

Great Idea

2023-05-05

Lots of potential and the devs are good at communicating

Break from the music

2023-06-05

Shift provided great music to work out to and offers a nice break with podcasts to keep it interesting!

Great App

2023-07-07

Really needed Shift! Tried listening to podcasts while lifting and since I usually listen to comedy, laughing in the middle of the set started to become really dangerous so this probably has saved my life!

Great app!

2023-08-07

I always listen to podcast during my work out and have to switch back-and-forth with music when I do cardio for instance. Now I can listen to both and it switches back-and-forth automatically. You can set them on a time you want it’s a switch and it works great.

UX is on point

2023-09-08

As a full time web/mobile developer myself I gotta say the UX (user experience, or how Shift is laid out and works) and UI are super clean and on point. Very intuitive. Only thing I wish it could do is hook into pocket casts and mark an episode as played, and/or maintain my listening history. But that’s a super nit picky thing to ask for, so I understand.

How Apps Should Be

2023-10-10

Shift does what it says: lets you ‘this app’ from music to podcasts with the touch of a button. Straightforward, as it should be.

What stands out is the amazing developer! He not only reached out with a welcome email, but asked for feedback and provided regular, immediate correspondence.

Best of all, the suggestions I made were incorporated into Shift within a few weeks!! I can see he really wants Shift to be as functional and tailored to user needs as possible.

If you like both music and podcasts during your workout, get Shift. If anything feels clumsy, tell the developer and he’ll fix it, just like that. Win-win!

Good app

2023-11-10

I don’t know how many people need (or want) to switch between podcasts and lifting music but I sure do! This is an awesome app! You can even set your rest timer so you can ensure that you only rest the proper amount of time. I thought that I was the only one who liked podcasts during workouts. I don’t know this developer but he has put together a sweet app for intelligent gym rats!! Well done.

Yep, this app rules!

2023-12-12

Okay so I just used Shift , like right now, sweat dripping and all. Let me just say, I can’t believe nobody thought of this amazing app before! I absolutely love it.

Never did I think to podcast while I ran because I’m not really interested in listening to an entire podcast while I’m running, but a podcast while I’m resting ... YES!

Now I may even start to run with a podcast because Shift affords me the opportunity to automatically switch between the two!

Wow way to go!

2024-01-12

I downloaded it through someone who recommended it on reddit ages ago. Loved the idea but never used it. Just checked back again and wow it’s come really far. Dope app. Love the dedication to the project.

Simple and easy to use with some bugs

2024-11-14

Came here from Reddit and loved it at first glance and the idea overall.

Went to Spotify and accidently closed the pop up window login, and it never pops back up ever again.

The UI for Spotify leaves a lot to be desired. I can’t search tracks or see my own playlist made in Spotify? Kind of crappy. Feels restricted and will probably keep me from using it unfortunately.

Would love to see support for SoundCloud and Audible.

Great start!
