A couple of years ago, we sent a request for Shift to integrate with Lastpass and they integrated with it pretty quickly, which is helpful with password management of all of the accounts I juggle. I also love that Google Drive and Calendar work well right there in the platform very well. > > **Cons**: Shift is quite buggy. It freezes often and takes up a lot of CPU memory on my MacBook. It often makes my fan start spinning quickly to cool my MacBook down. Microsoft Outlook doesn't work as well as Gmail accounts, so I still use a browser for Outlook. I like that it integrates with Dropbox so you can save email attachments in a Dropbox folder right in the app. However, in my experience, several documents that I would save would end up not saving even when indicating it was saved. I would not find out until weeks later when looking for that document. The thing I dislike most is the option to have external links open inside of Shift or your preferred browser. I would prefer all of my external links to open in Chrome, but this preference will also apply to Google Suite products. So if I open a Google Doc or Spreadsheet, it will open in a browser instead of in Shift. That gets annoying. > > Overall, the value of Shift is outweight the cons. I hope they remedy the MacBook usage dilemma because it often slows my computer down. ----- ### "I use Shift for my business as well as for my personal use, and I love it." — 5.0/5 > **Kelly** | *28 June 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate the ability to combine all my email accounts into one location, as well as most of the software I use, which streamlines both my workday and my personal time online. Shift has been a game changer in that way, and I highly recommend it to anyone needing that organizing shift in their life. > > **Cons**: I honestly can't think of anything I don't like, which is why I keep using it after 5 years, it's become my go-to for all my email organizing needs > > Overall, it has helped keep me less stressed and more organized in a way nothing else has, combining everything I use into one place. ----- ### "I'll take a pass on this" — 1.0/5 > **Samantha** | *7 May 2024* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the idea of linking my accounts to make life easier. HA\! > > **Cons**: From trying to adjust settings to linking accounts, every step was infuriating and time consuming as I constantly went in circles. The chat bot was totally unhelpful and gave me news links instead of help. I was required to use Google to get to the Shift instructions I needed and none of it was correct for what was on my screen. > > I'd rather gnaw my arm off than use this application again. ----- ### "Great concept, cumbersome in daily use" — 4.0/5 > **Torre** | *12 June 2021* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the idea that all of my work apps being in one 'workstation' so to speak. It makes it easier to eliminate distractions and stay focused on work, as well as keep different apps organized together and at your fingertips. It integrates with darn near everything. > > **Cons**: Shift seems to be incapable of keeping accounts logged in the same amount as a normal browser, leading to the frustrating need to sign in again, constantly, for apps you're trying to use efficiently. Plus, if you click a link from an app in Shift (for example in an email checked via the Gmail tab in Shift), that link is opened INSIDE OF SHIFT, not your preferred browser, which although it sounds like a convenience, is often strange and unhelpful. > > While I did try to use Shift (the paid version) for over a year, it just was never as efficient as it promised to be due to some annoyances like having to sign in constantly to various apps / sites, and becoming the default browser for links opened from within Shift-connected apps. I basically just stopped using it and have gone back to using a work-only user on my computer to eliminate distractions. ----- ### "It's ok, but it needs to catch up with the competition" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *26 June 2023* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoyed the design and tab management. Also made it very easy to separate workspaces. > > **Cons**: Limited features compared to its competition. Wavebox is the same price and is constantly adding new features. Plus, it also has Linux support. > > I think for someone new to workflow management. This was a great introduction; but now I need some major features if they want be to subscribe again. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/120615/shift?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/120615/shift) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
