| 2024-12-11 |  | | I used this for the first time for an overseas trip, which also was cut unexpectedly short. The app allowed me to readjust, and it really reduced my jet lag. I will definitely be using this app for future trips. I followed as best I could. I've read reviews that said it was often not possible to comply, but you don't have to follow it perfectly. |
| 2024-12-02 |  | | *Update: Still not getting notifications even though I tried everything that was suggested by the app and the developer. Completely missed the part of my return trip.* I'd give it a 5* but I'm not getting any notifications despite everything being on. I checked the notification history on my Samsung S21 and I can see a list of timeshifter notifications called Bugsee but nothing actually pops up on my phone. I also followed the in app instructions but still nothing. |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | We had zero jet lag going east to Europe! We're still "on the program" for returning west, but so far so good. It's scientifically based, using light, sleep, & also caffeine and melatonin if you choose. They send you a 3-day program for adjusting your circadian clock on each trip, and provide support via email if you have questions. I highly recommend it! |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | Great concept, but notification don't work on Android phones (pixel 8 and 4a in my experience). That means you won't get push notifications telling you when to do what. I used this app 2 years ago and had the same problem. Apparently it hasn't been fixed yet, which is very frustrating when you pay a fee for it. |
| 2024-11-06 |  | | Highly recommend this app for travel across time zones. I used this for multiple trips, California to Asia and to Europe, and even when I've only been able to semi-follow the plans set up by the app, it's enough! The app has been super helpful in letting me know when to sleep and when to stay awake on flights, with a focus on when to get more or less light exposure- all leading to minimal jet lag wherever I'm going! |
| 2024-11-05 |  | | A Mayo Clinic Newsletter recommended the Timeshifter app for international travel. I'm so happy I found this one week before our trip to Europe! The app was very easy to use and the timing instructions linked directly with our flight times. We followed all guidance very closely, especially the light-specific ones. I even wore sunglasses when light was to be low (including in the house and on the plane). We arrived in Amsterdam with very insignificant jet lag, as in virtually none! |
| 2024-11-01 |  | | The advice from this app worked exceptionally well for me on recent 30+ hour flights taking me across 11 time zones. No jet lag at all. Phenomenal to have a tool that leaves no ambiguity about what your jet lag management plan should be, then guides you through it step-by-step, hour-by-hour. Highly recommended app. |
| 2024-10-30 |  | | I used Timeshifter for two 21+ hour flights, and it made a noticeable difference. On my recent trip, I followed its guidelines more closely and experienced even less jet lag. The personalized plans for sleep and light exposure were easy to follow. Highly recommend for long-haul travelers! |
| 2024-10-19 |  | | For trip to Africa I followed the pre-trip plan, but the advice for travel days wasn't effective as I can't sleep more than a few hours on planes. I rarely have jet lag that direction, so difficult to say if better. On return trip, we didn't have control of our schedule, then once on flights, schedule seemed backward. Again didn't sleep much entire return trip, but staying awake to get back to MST made more sense. Jet lag was minimal. Worth trying, but I won't use again. |
| 2024-10-15 |  | | App is doing well after 1 glitch, when I r ooved and re-installed. This is my second trip using this app. Worth paying by the trip! Helped my jetlag. This next one will be a true test trip, 14 time zones. Will report back after the trip. Also, I have used support several times. They are prompt and very helpful. |
