shiftscreen 4X

I should have read through reviews before I paid. This app wouldn't enable other apps to use full screen on a monitor.

Brilliant idea, and I actually use it frequently despite its limitations (only for web based applications). It just still needs work to iron out the bugs…

Don’t buy. This app would be fantastic if you could use all your apps on the different desktop screens this app creates. It only allows you a few select base apps however, and you pretty much lose all functionality. You need to be able to launch all your apps from desktop for this to be given more than 1 star.

The 3rd app slide advertising this states… “Use your monitor in full screen” Which is precisely what I wanted… I need to use pages full screen and photos on Mum ipad however… This only allows web based apps… NOT any apps on your ipad. Very misleading… useless basically for me… I’ve given it 4 stars for ingenuity but I’m guessing half the purchasers have higher expectation than what they’ll have delivered by what is inferred… Thought it was too good to be true… and it is LOL! Most ratings seem overly harsh for the wrong reasons IMHO though… suggest clearer description to set the right expectation from this app… unless intentionally sucking people in deceptively is the plan?

Limited to apps that shiftscreen supports, and the range is extremely limited. The browser that’s provided is a third party browser and can’t be changed to chrome or others.

Apple just made their own external display. This app is now dead

Can't do it said Only for tool windows, only for some not any another app

I thought I’d try this app as I saw a couple reviews and thought it might be useful. It’s not. It has a browser with no plugins like 1Password, a calculator and pretty much nothing else. Word, excel and teams which are presumably presented in a browser simply don’t open. Many bugs. I’d recommend the vendor offers a trial as it ‘may’ work for some people but it won’t work for a ‘pro’ user - better to evaluate and leave than have the hassle of a refund.

Software is a little too buggy in the current version to be actually useful. I was hoping to use this to use the Microsoft Office suite on large monitors when travelling (via the Microsoft web apps) with my attached keyboard and bluetooth mouse. This does not work - office.com pages do not load. Currently appears little more than a proof of concept.

Don’t buy it, it hints at being an awesome experience but only can use what apps that shift screen have which is limited and restricting. Not worth the money YET unless they pick up their game and allow me to use the apps on my iPad in shift screen
