I would always be consistent with one for a few days and then move on to the next until I found shift!!! This app pulls together everything I know I need to do and then adds even more! It changes my whole mindset throughout the day and I look forward to participating every single day. ### 5/5 — Daily shifts making a difference *2020-04-09, version 1.2.2* Enjoying all aspects -making a difference ### 5/5 — Life changing! *2020-03-28* I absolutely love the daily shifts! I’ve been using this since the beta testing! I’m naturally inclined to be anxious and this really helps ease that feeling. Helps bring me back to the now. It’s been a constant helping me to become more mindful! I think everyone would benefit from the daily shifts! ### 5/5 — Divinely Perfect Creation *2020-03-26* This app is a true reflection of what is possible when we connect with our creative center and apply inspired action. It has easily broken down simple and efficient daily tasks which have allowed me to reconnect and move in flow with creation. I highly recommend for anyone who is ready to SHIFT into their higher self🤍🤍🤍 ### 5/5 — A MUST HAVE *2020-03-26, version 1.2.2* I use this app every single day. These practices truly enable you to tap into your truest potential. My favorite part is that there is a place to write down all your goals and speak them into existence evening! ### 5/5 — Wow! *2020-01-23, version 1.2.2* Great app, it can’t be said enough, spirituality and fulfillment go hand and hand, this app does this! Easy to navigate and even easier to implement. ### 5/5 — Game Changer💰 *2020-01-22, version 1.2.2* The Daily Shifts is perfect for anyone looking to create a more balanced and intentional life. This app is a game changer and highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Such a great app for busy travelers and flight attendants! *2020-01-06* I’m a flight attendant and ALWAYS on the go, I love to engage Oprah and her spiritually conscious gurus: Berné Brown, Iyanla Vanzant, Eckhart Tolle and the likes via Oprah Super Soul Sunday, but sometimes that is more then I’ve got time for. This is where SHIFT comes to play, it’s compact and virtually available to me 24/7, I’ve shared this with friends, family, and co workers whom are often times busy adulting and sometimes need a solo “pick me up.” In a age of overly abundant tech apps , this is a standout that has true multi purpose. Weather you’re a student, working adult, parent, or any combo of the aforementioned download this app and give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — Love! *2019-12-23, version 1.2.1* Love this app. I use it everyday and it’s been so helpful to keep me mindful and grounded. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2019-12-23, version 1.2.1* Seems like every time I’m needing a little reminder to stop and breath I get a notification from shift out of the blue. It’s helped me become more mindful throughout the day! Thanks Doug! Worth every penny! ### 5/5 — The perfect start, middle and end to my day *2019-12-02* Breathe. This prompt has been the most transformative for me. Just taking time throughout the day to slow DOWN and breathe. Bringing awareness back to my body. I have already been doing a gratitude practice for several years, so that portion of it is also great and feels like “home” - simplifying and condensing what I already do. I cannot say enough good things about this app - and I generally am one to DISconnect from the digital world. But this one. This ones worth it. 🙌🏼 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Listed as Free but it’s not *2021-10-09, version 1.4.1* Listed as free in App Store... downloaded and entered my personal info. It turn allowed me to look at the homscreen once. After that it’s asks for $7.99/month. Dishonest. ### 1/5 — Needs some bugs fixed *2021-08-22* This app has great potential but keeps logging me out and I can barely use it. ### 1/5 — Money *2020-08-25, version 1.2.4* I am someone who is trying to live a healthier life style. I get that your app needs to make money, but making it to where you have to pay to use your services helps no one. When someone’s trying to better their life and your service costs to continue using- count me out. I’ll take my business somewhere else. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2020-05-19, version 1.2.3* I truly hate dishonest advertising. This is free in the app store, but then after I used my data to download and then enter my personal information to set up an account I have to approve the monthly payment that starts in 7 days BEFORE I can even check out the app. Just tell us up front that there is a fee!!! ### 1/5 — $ *2020-04-08, version 1.2.2* Seems like it could potentially be a good app but the advertisements mentioned nothing about payment for having the app. Some people can’t pay to have an app on their phone. ### 1/5 — Seriously? *2020-02-19, version 1.2.2* I was so excited to try it out after listening the latest episode of Normon podcast, but as soon as I saw that whole payment/trial thing I deleted immediately. Now, I really don’t believe a single word you said on that podcast. ### 2/5 — Only if you’ll pay *2021-01-01* I was so excited about this app!! Lately I have been working on making myself a better person and this app seemed perfect. First impressions were perfect. Everything I was looking for was on this app! But, then I realized that when the pop-up subscription showed, I realized it’s not free at all. It wouldn’t let me exit that payment screen. Super disappointing:( ### 3/5 — Tiny amount of material fir 7.99/ mo *2021-09-21, version 1.4.1* This morning was nice! Tonight it had me take 3 breaths. That’s all. Not affirmation. No nothin. No meditation available in app anywhere. Cancelling already. I can set a timer on my phone for free and take three breaths. ### 3/5 — Would be better if it told you ab payment beforehand *2020-04-29* I was excited to try this app but after putting in my email, it went straight to how much you need to pay. I would have respected it if the app told you about this before you put in your personal info in. Seeing as I don’t really know if this app is actually good or not, I’m giving it 3 stars due to what I have experienced so far. :) ### 5/5 — FINALLY, someone has created the perfect app 🙏🏻 *2021-02-24* There’s no shortages of mindfulness apps out there. I’ve gone through quite a few and had been using Calm for about 2 years. It’s a great app, but it felt bloated. Like they tried making an app that had EVERYTHING, which left me feeling like I was paying for so much that I never used or would use. And that’s exactly why I had to write a review for The Daily Shifts. An app built around mindfulness while being mindful that mindfulness isn’t supposed to be complicated 😜 The simple and engaging shift system is amazing. The morning shift is an easy 3 step process. Take some big breaths, jot down what your grateful for and then use the cleanest meditation timer to date and you’re grounded and ready for your day. I also love the quick and thoughtful afternoon and evening shifts as well, because mindfulness is a day long practice. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love love love *2020-12-04, version 1.2.4* I love this shift app! It really helps me focus on my mental health and remembering what’s important in life! ### 5/5 — Love this app!!! *2020-12-04, version 1.2.4* The daily shifts kept me sane during quarantine. Such a great way to check in with yourself daily. 10/10 recommend! ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2020-12-04, version 1.2.4* Helps in so many ways to keep me grounded and focused on what’s truly important. ### 5/5 — Excellent Clean *2020-11-12, version 1.2.4* EXCELLENT app. Love the 3 breaths, simple interface and great value - I do find it in a bit of a crowded space and with the other 10 other mindfulness apps / journaling apps I find myself wanting a one go to solution app. ### 5/5 — Positive Vibrations *2020-06-27* The “Respect this moment” card on TDS is my favorite thing to do everyday. It makes me feel present and confident that everything will always work out I usually try to do 1:11 without thinking about anything negative. And if something comes to mind I start over the time and try again. I highly recommend this App. It’s nice to get reminders throughout the day to shift your thoughts and feelings toward the positive. ### 5/5 — My favorite app by far! *2020-05-29* Where to begin.. I’ve been on a slow and winding spiritual journey/awakening for years now. Sometimes I’m really “on it” when it comes to my own practice and sometimes I drop the ball. This app has helped me in so many ways! The notifications help remind me each day to keep it up. The tasks are simple, easy and still so so important. If anything it has helped keep me accountable and organized. It also gives me a sense of accomplishment. I love that I feel rewarded each time I engage with this app. My favorite features are by far the daily gratitude lists, simple meditations and the feature in which it challenges you to trust yourself (give yourself advice). By far this has been one of my favorite tools that helps me keep on track with my own practice. It has also been a light on some of my darkest days and a reminder that there is always the opportunity to better ourselves and re-center. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone, no matter where you’re at in your own spiritual journey. It is worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Changing my day! *2020-05-11* I heard about this app through a podcast and it inspired me to try something new to reset my daily mindset. It has been a great app to start & end my day with! I find myself setting myself to succeed when I use the app! So excited to keep using it and implement it daily! ### 5/5 — Amazing app for personal growth! *2020-05-11* I’ve been using this app for about a month now and am cognoscente of a real “shift” in my mental health. There is a clear before / after using the app. It pings you throughout the day to shift by becoming more mindful, breathing, gratitude & meditation. It is well worth the paid version & is one of the best investments I’ve made for myself, especially in quarantine. Soon to be life long fan here! ### 5/5 — NEW FAVE APP *2020-04-10, version 1.2.2* It’s worth every dollar (coming from someone who never pays for an app) — it’s truly MIND FREEDOM -breathing three times a day -daily growth challenges -time for guided and personal choice music meditations -mental exercises -time for reflection, daily affirmations, gratefulness to start the day and joys to end it ALL UNDER TEN MINUTES. I love it deeply and love the time it allows me to myself for others throughout the day --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
