Waste of money, ignore the app

Before buying the “Premium Version” of the app, it kept showing messages saying that I had missed a specific slot a few minutes or hours ago. However, as soon as I purchased the “Premium Version,” it suddenly stopped notifying me about the missed slots. The last slot I missed was maybe around 20 days ago. Because I logged out I think that if I reset the app, I might start getting notifications about cancellations again. But after I logged out and tried to log back in, it kept saying “under maintenance". Before logged out I gave feedback through the app regarding cancellations, still I haven't received any response

On the other hand, my friend, who subscribed using “testi,” still receives notifications about cancellations quite often.

Too many disappointments and disadvantages. Spending money on this app feels like a "waste of money "

Earlier Test

Was a bit sceptical after the negative reviews. However after downloading the app on Thursday and upgrading to the premium account my daughter got a notification on the Monday for an earlier test by 20 days. It might not seem a lot but its better than nothing! Hopefully this will change again soon. Download the app and hold on!

Bear with it!

I was very dubious after reading reviews but I am now glad I used test shift and used the auto shift setting. We got my son’s test moved forward by two months and moved to a better location. This was 2-3 weeks after buying the premium option and we now feel it was well worth the money.

Happy Son! 😃

I never leave reviews but felt compelled to after reading these negative reviews. I simultaneously used Testshift with 3 other popular cancellation apps. 2 of the others kept notifying me of cancellations then within seconds notifying me that they were gone. Testshift wasn't alerting me to anything so I was dubious but 7 days later, I was notified that Testshift has brought my son's test forward from February next year to 2 weeks time! 😃 Meanwhile the other apps were absolutely useless! I managed to claim a refund for the other apps but I would absolutely 100% recommend Testshift Premium and activating the auto shift feature. Have faith that it is doing its job in the background.

Hold onto faith

At first I though the app was a scam because it wasn't getting me any tests but finally it secured me a test 2 weeks earlier which made a difference so I could go back to uni. Hold on to faith, it does work eventually but not as quickly as I would've liked.

Scam App

Scam App

Before buying the service it used to show me that in my test centre there where many test cancellations popping day by day almost 5+ per day, after I buy the app to get atleast 1 of these, the notification system for 3 weeks straight showed 0 new cancellations.

It enticed me to buy the service, but post-buying it it just doesn't do anything.

I would greatly appreaciate it if they where honest if there where no test avaiable instead of falsely advertising in the app of the 20+ cancellations weekly at my centre before I bought the service

Was sceptical to buy the app as I read the reviews on here. My friend paid for the premium features and managed to get two cancellation test. I bit the bullet and paid for the extra features. Within a week I got a cancellation test for next month. I done the auto shift option. My son's test wasn't till November!! Very happy and I can recommend this app.

DONT BUY THE SUBSCRIPTION

Before I paid the subscription slots were coming up all the time that was a really good time and a really good date but “conveniently” I would always miss them by a few hours or minutes despite me constantly checking the app 24/7. Due to this I thought yeah I’m gonna buy the subscription because I trusted that dates were actually going to come up however NONE has come up in the few months that I’ve had the app, I’ve even been checking constantly. I’ve tried getting my money back but no response. What a waste of £14.99 and £2.50 VAT.

Signed up in May and found one in October but since May there has been no update or shifts offered. We put no limits on search so something is t working there as others have offered places available. Also they send stock reply’s and divert you to Apoke pay for refunds - which doesn’t work…so buyer beware. I cannot recommend at all sadly.

Excellent app

I was very sceptical about buying this after reading the reviews and in the first couple of days got no notifications, on the 3rd day I got a test at my chosen test centre for a date much sooner than my original test would 100% recommend this site just make sure you set it up correctly so they know to get the test for you on the dates you want.
