Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I've been a happy user of Mailbird 2 and I jumped at the chance to buy the lifetime deal. This one-time payment for endless use of their great service seemed like a bargain. Mailbird 2 has been a big help, making my email tasks easier with its simple design and strong features. But things changed with the release of Mailbird 3. This new version, although better and more promising, came with a surprise. The lifetime deal I bought for Mailbird 2 does not cover this upgrade.
  • 1. Reliability in receiving and sending email without duplicating. 2. Send Later allows review time and saves me from sending follow-up emails. 3. Unified Inbox defines by addresses by color. I like to experiment with alternatives and keep coming back to Mailbird.
  • Initially we really liked the platform because it was similar to Apple's Mail program. Initially we really liked the platform because it was similar to Apple's Mail program. Initially we really liked the platform because it was similar to Apple's Mail program.
  • It looks like an intuitive, great, flexible program - if you can use it. The problem is that if you run into any problems whatsoever, there is no meaningful tech support.

Cons

  • It feels like I'm being asked to pay again for Mailbird 3, and that's a letdown. I thought "lifetime" meant that any new versions would be included. But, it looks like I was wrong. I get that making and maintaining new software costs money. But, it's hard to be asked to pay again after buying a lifetime deal.
  • Pricing. I'd also like a way to block or delete by simply listing inbound addy.
  • There's absolutely NO service except for help articles provided on their website. There's no way to call them on the phone and just today even their email was returned by Mailbird saying it's no longer in use, but didn't provide an alternative email. The entire platform is an entire money making scam I believe.
  • If you google these people, there's a tech support phone number. But it doesn't work. The only tech support, even for paid, premium users is by email. Essentially, there is a 2 day turnaround for each question, and most of the time, the question is "answered" by an irrelevant article url. I've been working for over 3 weeks to try to port some large archived email files from Thunderbird, and have received no useful advice. I have medical practice, medicolegal, academic, and personal files for 20 years (16 GB) I can't port.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • I first purchased a Shift subscription to help with managing multiple inboxes. This is mostly how I still use the product and it makes my work life so much easier. No messy switching!
  • Shift has helped me reduce the digital clutter that used to slow me down. Instead of juggling multiple tabs, logins, and windows, I can now keep everything I need in one place. It feels good to open my computer and not be met with chaos. I especially appreciate how easy it is to toggle between email accounts and apps without losing focus or getting derailed by distractions. It’s a small shift (no pun intended) that’s made my workday feel calmer and more intentional.
  • Shift simplifies my workflow by bringing together my email accounts and other apps in one spot. It’s intuitive to use, and I like how it keeps everything organized so I’m not constantly switching tabs or windows. It saves time and helps me stay focused.
  • I can manage easily all 8 of my work emails from a single desktop app on my Mac. Plus I can add many of the other apps that we use on a daily basis to a workspace.
  • Easy view of multiple emails, calendars and access to apps/programs connected to that email/login. Seeing a unified calendar. A count of how many unread emails in each email. Allows me to keep everything in its place, not having multiple browser open. Overall, ease of implementation and use.
  • I love how Shift brings together all of my most-used tools so I can stay focused and work without getting distracted. It makes switching between email, task managers, my calendar, and notes easy and seamless. I also appreciate that I can stay signed in and not have to keep logging in and out.
  • Always signed into email, cal, g-suite for all my accounts simultaneously. Super super efficiency and easy across work, personal, alumni, etc.
  • I appreciate the ability to combine all my email accounts into one location, as well as most of the software I use, which streamlines both my workday and my personal time online. Shift has been a game changer in that way, and I highly recommend it to anyone needing that organizing shift in their life.
  • Managing several business themes and online identities can be tiring when switching between Google accounts and Google drive workflows, Shift makes this a breeze.
  • The reason I use Shift is that instead of having to continually switch windows to access a number of different apps and tabs in my browser, I access 90% of what I use daily in one app. It allows me to be more efficient and all my applications and their alerts are in one place.
