Account for Airport Transit
The app does not take into account that you need to be at the airport 2-3 hours ago and the immigration, baggage and reaching the hotel takes another 2 hours.
Really helped so much
I barely felt my jet lag. Still testing the return journey but so far I’m super impressed!
Great App!
Second time using this app for Europe, I followed it less strictly this time but still has insignificant jet lag after following the directions on the plane and one day after, coming back was also good, highly recommend it!
The only thing you need!
I have been using this app for more than 5 years, with over 250 days a year of international travel, and I know how important It Is to be your best when you land!
A waste of 4 days
This literally changed nothing for me. After spending long periods of time lurking in dark rooms like a vampire, and waking up at 3 am to turn on all the lights in the house, I still had all the exact same jet lag I always do. I wish I had just enjoyed my vacation instead.
Exceeded expectations!
I tell everyone how I hit the ground running — both there and back — after following most of the Timeshifter recommendations. I have terrible memories of wasted time in Europe and Asia but not anymore! Try it! What have you got to lose? You’ll be delighted like I am.
It works!
I am presently on a six hour time difference and I have not had to take a single nap. If you follow the plans carefully and do what it says you will be so thankful!
Helped us tremendously!
We followed the directions and we experienced no Jet Lag going to Europe. My wife suffered for 5 days the year before so this was a tremendous upgrade in the quality of our experience.
This works!
I travel international every couple weeks and this app has been amazing for my latest trip to Spain. I followed their prompts and had virtually no jet lag! I highly recommend to anyone traveling international or with night shifts.
Worked like a charm
I have terrible jet lag flying east and we had a 10 day cruise starting in Rome, and I wanted to be awake for the first day. This was a 4 day commitment and I felt amazing! I only got about five hours of sleep on the plane, but I went all day in Rome and felt like I hadn’t changed clocks at all. The first time shift is free and I would so recommend this to anyone who struggles. I took the wake up, caffeine and light protocol seriously, I didn’t take naps and on the plane wore sunglasses. Highly recommend.

Happy Days
My wife and I have done many long flights and always brace ourselves for the jet lag, but using Timeshifter has spared us from the usual day and a half of brain fog.
We followed the plan as close as possible and it worked 😃.
I can definitely recommend giving it a try.
Travel Safe.

Skeptic turned believer
I was the biggest skeptic. However United sent me an offer for a free trial. So before my next month long trip, I loaded up all my flights and then loosely followed the notifications that started appearing a couple of days before my first flight, such as get light, wind down, consume caffeine, and a couple of days after landing. Behind these instructions was the science of shifting your circadian rhythm a couple of hours each day before your flight to a couple of days after so that your body adjusts to your current time zone. I loosely followed the notifications and my jet lag was insignificant upon arrival and after returning home. Now I am a believer of the science behind this app and a faithful subscriber.

Amazing!
I was pleasantly surprised with how well this worked! Fully customized to your flight schedule, origin and destination cities, and even your usual sleep habits - it eliminated my jet lag on my trip from the US to Italy!
Not for me
The recommendations went against every other piece of science I’ve reviewed and by following those and ignoring this app I was able to minimise the effects of jet lag.
Bottom line, it may work for you it didn’t for me. Everybody’s body is different, for this listen to yours.

Easy way to tackle jet lag
Review Disclosure: I got 1 complimentary round course usage for a trip I booked through my hotel. So my review reflects my opinion of the usefulness of the app but does not take into account pricing.
I found Timeshifter helpful in that I didn’t need to think about whether I should be sleeping right now or whether or not I can drink caffeine. All I had to do was check what was setup in the app. Timeshifter made it easy to stay on schedule and not lose a day to jet lag!

Best Advice for Jet Lag Precention
While I was not able to follow the advice to a “T”, it still worked exceptionally well for me. I appreciated being given a chance to try it out before buying it. Unfortunately, my original flight got cancelled and I had to make an adjustment, which meant I now had to pay for it. But, I was grateful for the ability to pay a one-time fee instead of a yearly fee because this is my only trip abroad. The advice was fantastic and I was able to enjoy my vacation to the fullest because of their advice.

It certainly helps
I have now used this app 3 times for long haul trips from the UK to New Zealand via Singapore, to Japan and to Canada (out to Montreal, back from Vancouver). No major jet-lag symptoms on any of these trips. Some lifestyle adjustments needed prior to each flight not necessarily easy to achieve, but the effort was worth it.

Back after years
Recently started using this app again after many years, United used to give it to their 1K customers. I had a Europe to Australia trip on an unusual time and wondered when I should sleep. Then I remembered this app and it did a great job, I followed the suggested schedule and did not suffer from any jetlag, amazing.

Really works!
First trip overseas, I lost two days of my precious vacation to jet lag. Then I discovered Timeshifter. Simple, effective, and kept my husband from being a grouch!
I rely on it for my travels!
I started using Timeshifter with an international trip two years ago and I have come to rely on its advice ever since. I’m not always able to follow every step exactly but I do my best to get as close as I can to the recommendations and it really makes a difference! It’s an amazing thing to travel internationally and have very little if any jet lag! And I love that I can edit whether or not I’m using melatonin and caffeine. For this most recent trip I’m not drinking caffeine and it still was super helpful!
