A glorified web browser
The first thing that needs to be mentioned is that this app will NOT let you launch native apps. No photo/video editing apps, no messages, etc.. You can only use things you can go to on a website. That being said, what it can do it does really well. It’s in this awkward spot of doing the best they can do with Apple’s limitations, but it’s still not good enough (for me).

Microsoft Word not working
I wanted to use this app for multitasking while plugged into a monitor and I was annoyed when this app wouldn’t let me open Word. The app shows Word as one of the supported apps but it is grayed out. Also I was highly disappointed that you couldn’t use any app that you have downloaded. Better off just using the an iPad via HDMI with the regular resolution then this app. Cool concept but not quite there yet. Maybe this app will be better in the future but right now at $8 it is not worth it at all.

Best app EVER
I got this app yesterday and basically couldn’t sleep thinking about how great this app was I almost got a iPad Pro for the full screen feature but I kept my iPad Air 4th generation and it worked full screen and great. Great work with the app.
Does not work
The instructions are not clear, but if you are looking to have a second monitor for you iPad to use as you would two monitors on a computer, this won’t do it.
Misleading Functionality of the App
My goal was to be able to use my iPad Pro with 2 monitors to create a multi screen ‘work from home’ environment. The app promoted that capability however after downloading it I was truly disappointed with it’s function. The app icons that are available in the Shiftscreen app are not the apps that are on the iPad. They are generic badges created by the app developer for their specific environment of the Shiftscreen app. This did not provide the experience of multi screen work station with iPad Pro.

No support
The APP seems to be working out for iPad with an external monitor, but the launchpad on my external monitor doesn’t respond at all; second there is no Microsoft APPS in the Webapp on my shift-screen. No support at all although I sent few of inquiries.
Not as expected
I should have read through reviews before I paid. This app wouldn't enable other apps to use full screen on a monitor.
Still hoping for an update, its amazing
This is still such an amazing concept, far more effective than stage manager. I wish it would update lol. Totally worth supporting.
Doesn’t actually work generally
Initially this looked really cool, but you can’t just use any app with this thing. Only certain apps are supported and I couldn’t get any of them to work.
Not there yet
This app wants to work. It technically can do what it advertises but it very awkward and not really useable. I tried for several hours to get it to work for me but in the end gave up. Wasted time and $$. It’s a great idea but needs more work.
