"A must have solution for those with multiple email addresses"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I manage five different email addresses every day, and Shift serves as the perfect all-in-one solution to keep everything organized. With Shift, I can easily tell which email account I'm working with, without having all my messages mixed together in a single stream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An effective, easy way to keep all of your apps, email accounts, and more in one place"
4/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I appreciate being able to access all my apps and emails within a single window, rather than having to keep multiple windows open. It also helps that I don't end up with a clutter of tabs in one window, making everything feel much more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Occasionally, my email accounts fail to sync, which means I have to keep signing in repeatedly. Switching between apps can also be problematic. For instance, when I try to move from one app to Google Docs to copy and paste something, it often doesn't work as expected. I end up having to copy and paste the text again, and sometimes I need to double-click for the text to actually appear in the Google Doc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

"Great Productivity Tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I love that Shift keeps everything in one place to quickly view and manage. I have multiple work email accounts and slack/discord groups I am a part of and being able to quickly access them all in a single windows is fantastic. I leave the window up on half of my second screen every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Sometimes notifications will stay up after everything has been viewed but that is a minor inconvenience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that Shift is benefiting you by keeping everything in one place. We'll see what we can do about the notification issue to provide you with an even better user experience.

"Shift is a Life-Saver!"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

Because of my work, I have to juggle between multiple e-mail addresses and apps. If I had to keep all these tabs open on my browser, I would go crazy! With Shift, I have everything I need in one place. It helps me stay organized and on top of things. I highly recommend it!Cancel

What do you dislike about Shift?

Every once in a while, external links don't sync well with Shift. (For example, I click on a business's WhatsApp link, but it doesn't send me to my WhatsApp within Shift.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're thrilled to hear that Shift has been a life-saver for you! Having everything in one place can definitely make managing multiple email addresses and apps much easier. Thank you for the recommendation!

"If you have more than one email account"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I’ve been using Shift for about 6yrs. It was appealing because I am a contractor and have several different email accounts, both personal and business. Going between browser tabs or email applications was a huge time suck, not to mention slowing down my computer.

Shift allows me to have my 6 email accounts all on one application, easy to view, easy to switch between and all in one place.

I also utilize many of their plugins like WhatsApp web so I can add even more functionality to my space. Often times I can work just within Shift and reduce my distractions on outside browsers and tabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Not much to complain about. The only thing that can sometimes slow me down is the software updates and versions between the email hosts and the Shift system. But this is minimal honestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're thrilled to hear that Shift has been such a valuable tool for managing your multiple email accounts and improving your productivity. We appreciate your feedback and are constantly working to improve our software updates to ensure a seamless experience for our users.

"Shift is a great tool - I use it (almost) every day!"
5/5

I like that all my email accounts are collected in one easy-to-use, consistent interface. I use Shift nearly every day.

I have only had a couple interactions with Customer Support, but they have been prompt and professional in their replies, and always solved the issue, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I use ActiveInbox (https://www.activeinboxhq.com) and would be able to use Shift 100% of the time if it supported ActiveInbox. Please integrate with ActiveInbox! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're thrilled to hear that you use Shift nearly every day and find it beneficial for managing your email accounts. We appreciate your feedback about ActiveInbox and will keep it in mind as we continue to enhance the Shift experience.

Shift makes it easy to manage multiple email accounts and applications without bouncing between tabs all day. Having everything in one spot helps me focus and get work done faster. The ability to stay logged into multiple accounts at once is a big plus, and I like how simple it is to search across different tools when I’m looking for something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Honestly, there’s not much to complain about. The only thing I’d like to see is support for a few more of the apps I use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The BEST productivity tool for Google apps!"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I rely on shift to stay organized between 4 inboxes and dozens of apps. I operate across multiple businesses and I can access everything I need in 1 single app. I buy an account for my entire team & couldn't survive without it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

It uses up a lot of computer juice...but it's worth it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Shift is a Must for Multi-Taskers"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I love having the ability to place all of a client's work into a single, dedicated workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

The UI/UX continues to require manual password entry for apps in those workspaces, which can make it annoying to have to repeatedly re-type them and click the option for Shift to save the passwords, only to have to do that every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We appreciate your positive feedback about the dedicated workspaces for clients. We understand your frustration with the manual password entry - if you are finding that you need to re-sign-in to apps regularly, please reach out to Support for assistance as Apps should remain logged in for the most part (some situations would require re-login, but it shouldn't be daily).

"Essential Tool for Managing Multiple Accounts Seamlessly"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I appreciate Shift's ability to organize all my different projects and jobs in one place, which simplifies my workflow. Adding multiple Gmail accounts was straightforward, and Shift's feature of tracking logins helps keep my gigs and jobs separate while easily finding everything in one place. The integration with Google Apps, WhatsApp, Airtable, and Zoom is especially beneficial, allowing seamless access to the tools I use most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I would love Shift to have a phone app for iPhones, so that logins and encryption could be used across my different devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

It's great to hear that Shift has been beneficial in organizing your accounts and projects. We understand there is interest in a Shift phone app, and we'll keep that in mind as we look towards the future of Shift.
