Discontinued
app hasn’t been updated since 2021. Nothing works anymore
United StatesMicrosoft Word not working
I wanted to use this app for multitasking while plugged into a monitor and I was annoyed when this app wouldn’t let me open Word. The app shows Word as one of the supported apps but it is grayed out. Also I was highly disappointed that you couldn’t use any app that you have downloaded. Better off just using the an iPad via HDMI with the regular resolution then this app. Cool concept but not quite there yet. Maybe this app will be better in the future but right now at $8 it is not worth it at all.
United StatesWorks better than it should!
I think that some who have reviewed this app have been overly critical. It works well within its intended parameters and can be quite useful if used as intended. I work with Chromebooks quite a bit, and Shiftscreen works in much the same way. It allows one to have multiple browser windows open and running web apps. The browser windows can be resized and moved around the screen, and can be arranged in any way desired. I have a iPad Mini 5 and an iPad Air2. Both run ShiftScreen well. Neither has direct monitor support, so I use Airplay and a Roku. I have used several Roku devices and several TV sets and monitors, and all have worked. I also use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to complete my set up, and everything plays well together. I have experienced a few glitches. I have learned to close any apps running on my iPad that don't need to be open, as it is easy to overload my relatively old iPads. Windows can only be resized from the right hand top corner of the window, which can be a bit awkward. When I use ShiftScreen without a monitor, just on the iPad screen, one is reminded that even the screen on the Air is awfully small! I have learned that ShiftScreen works best if the iPad is not in split screen mode and it is the only app running, although that is mostly a matter of my mouse maneuvering skills, and it might not be an issue for anyone else. Maybe I am just lucky, but I personally have found ShiftScreen to be a very useful and usable app. If one already has an iPad, a monitor, and a Roku or similar device (and ideally a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse), and if you want to have multiple web apps running in multiple windows, ScreenShift is well worth its minimal price tag.
United StatesBest app EVER
I got this app yesterday and basically couldn’t sleep thinking about how great this app was I almost got a iPad Pro for the full screen feature but I kept my iPad Air 4th generation and it worked full screen and great. Great work with the app.
United StatesI’m a fool.
I believed the hype of a paid YouTube blogger.. shame on me. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!
United StatesNo support
The APP seems to be working out for iPad with an external monitor, but the launchpad on my external monitor doesn’t respond at all; second there is no Microsoft APPS in the Webapp on my shift-screen. No support at all although I sent few of inquiries.
United StatesStill hoping for an update, its amazing
This is still such an amazing concept, far more effective than stage manager. I wish it would update lol. Totally worth supporting.
