Unable to use

Downloaded and redownloaded and restarted my phone, when I press ‘see all’ plans nothing works and when I press purchase, nothing happens. I intended to use this service but I assume the app is no longer in use

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

Hi! We just released a version with a new Spotify integration. Hope you get to try it out, and please share with us any feedback you may have. Best!

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!

You can access your workout music through Spotify, Apple Music, or curated workout mixtapes provided by the app. It also offers access to every podcast available, allowing you to easily add your favorite shows.

Does the app work with Apple Health?

Yes, Shift provides full Apple Health Kit integration when you have the companion watch app installed on your Apple Watch. This integration enables you to track your workouts and monitor your heart rate directly within the app.

Is this app free to use?

The app is free to download and use, offering its core functionality for free. However, it does have in-app purchases, suggesting that some advanced features or content may require a purchase.
