Excellent product, but Dropbox has left it behind
This app’s superlative production quality is an incredible stroke of good luck, because it is also one of the few editors still available for older iOS versions. Alas, the rest of the world has not been so considerate. One of Shift’s great strengths was its very close Dropbox integration, but Dropbox have now made so many small changes to their platform that not even logging into its web interface seems to be possible from within Shift any more. As a result, it now takes a good deal of work to get files in or out of Shift to work on.

This app is awesome!
I was looking for a writing app somehow easy to use (I mean : in a minimalist style) and yet with extended possibilities to being able to format and organise my documents. Shift does it all! I love it. I can even –finally– write math formulas as well (it uses Math Ajax). The only downside is that I haven't found how to move a "folder" in the arborescence once it is created... Other than that, I want to thank the developer for this very cool app ; moreover as it is free and with no adds! Good job :)

Great Customizable Reader
Works on web sites that Safari Reader mode has trouble with. I am very pleased with it. Deals with those low contrast web pages that are overly common. You can select and customize the reader font.
For me, there was a definite learning curve. It took me 30 minutes to get started. I don't find gesture navigation intuitive at all. The examples are well written and address use throughly.
A settings icon and a help overlay subroutine showing each icon and a dropdown description would be useful.
Definitely a keeper.

Shift is simply great
I love the simplicity of Shift. It gets out of my way and lets me get things done. Plus, my notes look great when I go back to read them!
Very tactile user experience
Shift feels totally iOS native; a lot of text editors feel like they were created on a desktop and scaled down.
It's a highly opinionated and customizable editor - people who like Sublime Text on the desktop might like it.
The Dropbox integration is also fantastic because it's rare that I need a bit of markdown exclusively on my phone.

Excellent lecteur web
Mise à jour avec intégration MathJax (cela était déjà possible en ajoutant le script)
En bref : une grande possibilité de mise en forme pour une adaptation de la lecture et le WEB sémantique

My default writing app is Shift
I find Shift to be excellent for my writing projects. Being able to access the Web while I'm actually working on a subject is perfect. I'm still learning, but so far, the interface really makes my "stream-of-consciousness" writing tasks easier. Thank you!
Straightforward & intuitive
Really like the simplicity - ready to use right out of the box, or easily customized for a more personalized experience. The viewer really streamlines the reading experience for content-rich sites. Great app.
Makes webpage text readable. Finally!!
