Great for shift workers!!
Been using for over a year. My work schedule includes multiple shift changes per week and prior to using this app I was never getting the sleep I needed. For many years I was constantly drinking caffeine to stay awake, melatonin to fall asleep. I was never able to maintain a schedule outside of work because I never knew when I was going to be too tired. This app makes it super easy to make changing sleep schedules manageable. I only give it 4 stars because it does not include a good time to exercise.

IT support
Friend recommend this app to me. I work on IT production support for different countries and time zones. I loaded all my different shifts and followed recs it helped my sleep quality tremendously. 100 % worth trying.

Nice app to handle the constant changes to shift timings
Necessary for human function
After you start using this, you wonāt go without it. Itās like trying to wake up with an alarm clock, go somewhere without a gps or directions, cook without a recipe. It honestly relieves a lot of stress as you are able to defer / trust something like this and not āhave to think about itā. Like anything in life I donāt follow it if I donāt want to, but itās always helpful to know the guidelines and how far off I am. If this synced up to Apple Watch Fitbit etc and gave me a score for how well I was doing that would be awesome and gamify it

Works great!
I had a 4 day workshop but it was from midnight-8:00 am and my regular schedule of sleep is from 8:00 pm -5:00 am. I used the app to make this Shift and it was perfect. I was able to be awake and alert and still get in 8 hours of sleep. I followed the recommendations for when to get light, drink caffeine and sleep. Thanks Timeshifter Work for making that possible.

Amazing!
I have been using this app during the beta, it has helped me get much better sleep and realized how important we rely on sunlight. I can see this app being great for nurses, doctors,customer service reps,IT workers, security guards, security analysts. Basically anyone with odd hours during shift with can benefit from this app.

Simply works
Long time user of Timeshifter and this is hands down the best for shift work. So simple and I felt the changes right away.
actually works
I have different shifts and didnāt want to keep my night schedule on my off days. I was surprised this actually made a difference. Wasnāt expecting it to work as well as it did, pleasantly surprised!!
Shift worker waiting for access code
I have heard good things about this app for shift workers like myself. I emailed back in August and have not heard anything. Will delete soon.
Working well
I have been using this app for a number of months now. Initially, you could only put in a few shifts at a time. Now, I can put in a whole monthās schedule without problems. It works similarly to the jet lag app. The interface is the same. I has really helped me plan my sleep and adjustments to the changing shifts that I work throughout the month. I think that I am better rested and more alert during my shifts. I wish this was something that I had when I first started my career.

Iām very much looking forward to this app being up and running
Had the app on my phone for like 2 years, have emailed a couple of times asking when they think itāll be up a running. It doesnāt seem like thereās been much movement in that time unfortunately.
Few Bugs
I got my email for the access code a couple weeks ago and have been using the app diligently ever since. It felt odd to take a 4 hour ānapā from 0100-0500 hrs and then again before my shift later in the day but it worked and I was alert when I was supposed to be! I find that adding new shifts of changing existing shifts sometimes takes a few tries and I often get a message about the server not being available but usually by my second try it works. Looking forward to seeing how this pans out long term.

Concept is amazing
Iām not a user but I can tell that this app is going to do amazing! There isnāt alot of things that really cater to shift workers. I have downloaded so many and none of them really do it! I even considered just developing my own app! Iām am really excited for when this becomes available to everyone!

Does the app actually exist?
I have been on the āwaiting listā for almost a year and I still havenāt received the invitation code.
Never ending wait list that you donāt know if youāre even on it
Maybe one day theyāll even confirm Iām on the wait list, let alone allow access to the app. š
App does not exist
Iām very confused about this app. I see that it has regular updates, but when I download, it asks me to join a waiting list. I did this, but after a month have had no response (or even a waiting list confirmation). The app looks amazing. I would love to try it.
Waste of time
Unfortunately this app is not worth downloading..
Trying to love it.
When it works, it works beautifully. When it doesn't, it's very frustrating. Lots of internal service errors" recently. I prefer it to "Shift", as it is simpler to use, but the service errors aren't doing it for me. Hoping it gets better soon!
Response from developer
Hi Megan, Thank you for being a beta tester. The new release should address these issues in a better way. I hope that you experience the improvements.
Still waiting
Thereās a competitor app called Shift that actually works and isnāt holding invites hostage. Iād love to be able to try Timeshifter and give some feedback to the devs in order to help shape the app into an industry wide tool for aviation.
Still waiting
Been waiting since December 2022 and keep being told this month or next or soon. Starting to think it will never happen. It looks like a great app if itās real and I will update if I ever get to use the app.
