  • Thank you

    Spotify update works great thank you, it makes rest time a breeze. I had wanted something like this for a few years and was thrilled to see someone take the leap. Hope the app takes off. Thanks for the work you put in

  • Great developer and app

    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 this app. It’s exactly what I needed. The switching using the pause button on my headphones is great.

    I had a question about the app 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 the app!

  • Wow way to go!

    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.

    Hey, Michael here, one of the makers. So glad to hear you came back to check it out! We're just a small group of people who loves working out to podcasts, so we'll always be improving the product, for ourselves and you all. Please reach out if you have more feedback or want us to improve in any way. Cheers!
  • Yep, this app rules!

    Okay so I just used the app, 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 this app affords me the opportunity to automatically switch between the two!

  • Break from the music

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

    Thanks for the review! If you're not a fan of the game-mode feature, you can turn it off from the settings menu. Hope that helps!
  • How Apps Should Be

    This app does what it says: lets you ‘shift’ 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 the app within a few weeks!! I can see he really wants the app to be as functional and tailored to user needs as possible.

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

  • Love the concept

    The only issues I have is, the volume of the audio never stayed consistent and the podcast paused when I left the app

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your review! You may already know this, but when you change the volume during a workout, it will only change volume for either podcasts or music, and not the other (depending on if you're listening to podcasts or music). The reason we have two volume controls is that many people prefer to be able to set a different podcast volume, because the podcast itself can sometimes have a lower volume. Regarding the pause issue you had, we're sorry you experienced this, and it is something we are currently looking into! If it happens again you could try to shift back-and-fourth with your headphones, that should simply start the podcast again, and you won't have to bring up your phone. Thanks again, and really hope this helps a little!
  • Super awesome, actually helpful app

    Was gaming and came across this add for Shift. 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.
