What's New in Shift

1.2.1

November 4, 2026

Shindex Pub Ratings, live directions, QR connections and more Irish hubs. The Shindex is coming! Yes, that's right. The world's first truly Irish review of pubs across the globe. We're covering what matters, because we've been there too. Of course we want to know how good the Guinness is, but also, where the Spice Bag's or at, how Irish the staff and crowd are, and if there's a cozy fireplace... Better still, if there's a snug! WE NEED YOUR HELP! For the Shindex to be truly accurate, we want YOU to give the insights on your own local pub (or report on those bars that are Irish in name only). Perhaps you can split the G while you do it. ;) And make sure, if you know anyone working in that pub, their response is really important too! The people are what make the pubs special! Now, that's not all. We've also added a nifty wee compass that shows you EXACTLY where the nearest pubs are. Swivel around and start walking towards your home away from home. Next, and this is a big one. You can now CONNECT with someone on Shift that you meet in real life. Just pull out your Shift app, and scan or share your QR code. Even better, you have the option to create your own unique Shift link - a mini-profile page, so others can find you. On Shift, LinkedIn or whatever. Finally, you might notice our new hub chats. Improved design, speed and there are even a few more hubs available. City hubs include Chicago, NYC and now DC. And for those into literature and prose, we've added "Irish Reads". Still got a whole lot more in the works so if you want a hub, let us know!

Shift dating

I’m on the dating app and I only get messages from young men. I’m only interested in men my age but I can’t change it on the profile.

Very Basic

The app itself seems to be very polished and easy to navigate however there’s no real opportunity to connect with others besides going to events or seeing fans of places.

But the biggest thing is, despite the “craic” notes you can post, there’s no real review feature. There’s nothing worse than going to a self proclaimed “Irish” bar only for them to completely diminish our culture by serving black and tans, hanging up “Irish need not apply signs” and the owner forces a bad accent!
A review based feature can ensure the integrity of our culture abroad and show other Irish people where the real gems are, while avoiding the terrible places. While clicking in and seeing some of the notes, seeing star ratings would also be very beneficial.

Okay

It’s okay. It’s basically just a list of Irish bars in your locality, which you can easily do in Google maps.
