Chrome profiles are perfect to handle multiple google accounts. No need for an extra app and to spend money on this imho π
@masone There are lots of solutions to this problem: chrome profiles, tabs using Google's "add account" feature, multiple browsers, incognito... we felt there was too much friction, so we built Shift! It's great to hear that Chrome profiles works for you, some of the other solutions work really well for other folks too.

Hi,
Just a quick question. I did subscribe with an gmail inbox account and it is now my primary one. Is there any way to change it and make the same mail address but gmail inbox account the primary one?
@tgandur Hey Tarik! We don't have a super easy way to change your Primary Shift Account (yet!). For now, you will need to delete your application data and set Shift up again, ensuring that you re-select your Primary Shift Account. Feel free to email us at hello@tryshift.com for easy instructions on how to do that, if needed.
I've been using it today, and it looks promising so far.
The feature that I miss the most is shortcuts. This is a tool for power users, so I can imagine I'm not the only one. In my opinion, the most natural shortcuts would be (in Mac): Command+ to switch accounts (same as Slack) and Control+ to switch Mail/Calendar/Docs (same as Chrome).

Been using Shift for a year. First year they had a bug that made clicking within the app go all wonky, told me they would fix it but never did. Did not give me any extra months for putting up with it.
Recent update made my shift app go constantly blank, asked for support but all they told me was restart the app and that would fix the problem (temporarily).
Love Shift's functions but the bugs make it really frustrating, in addition to customer service not recognizing that i've been paying for a year and giving me some incentive to stay despite me living through all these bugs
Hi Jake - If you can email us directly at hello@tryshift.com, we would love to get this resolved for you!

i left this review on the other shift page .. here now:
in short, the free version is basically a way for you to try your email in this service. you should know it's not really going to look very different.
you then find yourself clicking all over the place to have annoying popups tell you that if you sign up today you can save $10 ... so you can't really test anything else other than email and when you do the email is going to have the shift signature in it. you can't remove this with the free service
this app service will go the route of services like Amy. start off trying to get what they think it's worth instead of what the mass market will pay. there is a difference and if they dont they'll get some customers but they'll never get the million paying customers they want and they're not going to have enough people paying $100 a year to keep everyone happy
i hope the price comes down soon as i've had liked to have given it a go, but it's basically just a different browser and i actually quite like chrome and the apps I use
ironically, i followed an ad from facebook to try this .. thats usually a last throw of the dice for a service like this .. i hope i'm wrong
I just want to add (20 minutes later and after revoking access) .. that if you really really want this, then revoke access and go to exit the app - you then get an offer of 50% off if you sign up today.
it feels spammy. looks great and someone is going to do this .. (if you don't count chrome) .. but my initial thoughts of last throw of the dice were confirmed when i saw that offer
Pros:
looks nice
Cons:
forced signature, misleading advertising

Need to upgrade from pro to advanced for 99$ per year?! no way.
I was a paying customer but canceled my subscription - don't get too greedy!
Pros:
Nice product
Cons:
Too expensive + forcing old customers to pay more
Report
I would NOT recommend to anyone unless they don't mind a promotional signature, and don't need apps other than Gsuite incorporated.
Pros:
A lot of web apps in one place--Cool!
Cons:
'Advanced' is:
- expensive and clunky
- required to remove promotional signature
- required to add apps other than Gsuite

Just bit the bullet and paid. So far it's worth it. Biggest let down, no chrome OS support or mobile app support.

It's basically just a browser frame with tabs on the side instead of the top. On a mac I can just keep different full sized browser sets open and have a browser group for everything I need and swipe with 4 fingers.
I don't get the value really at all, but i'm going to pay $99 and test it with more apps connected, just because I like their FB/IG ads.
