Testshift Reviews 

SCAM DO NOT USE. I read their instructions that said they do not book tests for you as it’s illegal but could legally notify you of availability. £17.99 I am stopped by DVSA from booking online and no response from website. Reported website! Scammers

Absoltely terrible service. Paid good money for nothing. I do understand that the law has changed recently around this kind of service, but to not reply anymore to my emails is rude and not acceptable.

I booked my driving test at a different test centre as I couldn't get one where I needed it to be.
This app was recommended to me from a friend who said they got swapped within 2 weeks. Well, thats not the case for me. I bought the premium (£18) and its the worst £18 i have spent. 3 months on and still nothing, no notification at all, even though there had been cancellations.
I logged out to reset thinking it might just need a reboot, but for the last 7 days its just said maintenance and wont let me back in!. Biggest scam going.
Luckily, I have now managed to swap my test centre to the area I need by logging on for 6am on the actual booking test website. Stay clear from this app.

I would give this zero if I could. Always under maintenance but then they take your money and dont respond. They need to justify why they take your money but still dont provide a service.

I signed up to this app several months ago and it has not identified any test dates within that time. I’ve signed up to a different app which does notify dates, so it’s not because there are none available. The app does not work. Do not waste your money.

This is the second time test shift has found me a test! After I failed my first test, I booked a new test and test shift moved it forward by a month :) the first time it moved me forward by a month and a half..

within 10 days of installing the app it brought my test forward automatically by 110 days.
the app is easy to use and easy to navigate, was so pleased to wake up early in the morning with an email confirming that my test had been brought forward from september to June.
well worth the money and reccomend

Early days but have been using the app for a few days. I have had no notification of test’s availability whereas a similar app has been notifying me of tests. I wish I had not paid the premium as it’s not provided me with test notifications. Don’t waste your money.

It was not helpful at all. Waited 3 months and no test dates. Tried twickenham, southall and chertsey.

Brought my sons test forward which is great but a week before they cancelled it and his driving instructor said they sell tests of the highest bidder even if the slot is taken. Dvsa do not recommend these apps so please be watchful. Charges my £18.99 for premium aswell only to let my sons slot out. So it’s a no I won’t be recommending the app to others

Worked despite the new rules on test changes coming in after we signed up for it. Only had 2 notifications and missed the first one. The second one came in as a short notice and we clicked accept. It did everything for us and we got the email from DVSA immediately confirming the change. Saved 79 days.

Those reviewer who haven’t had notifications it’s probably down to the lack of tests not the app.

Had the app downloaded for around 1 month in total.

Terrible! Doesn't work!!
It doesn't work. They took money without any guarantee. But they keep asking me to expanc the test window. 2 months passed by but I have never received any notification from App. It just worked for 5 days 😐
At the end I took my original booked test. They're totally scam!!!!
Avoid them!!!!

I was fully expecting this to be a waste of money however I signed up only last night and after checking reviews I wasn’t expecting much. I had a test booked for Brentwood in august and I wanted to change it to Wood Green but hadn’t been having any luck on the DVLA website myself. I know new slots are released often on a Monday from 6am but I’ve missed them however I woke up this morning at 6.45 to find that TestShift had moved my booking to woodgreen 45 days earlier then my original booking so I am very happy! (I paid for the premium asked to auto shift and had put in our holiday dates to avoid)

Downloaded test shift to help my son book a resit driving test, we booked a standard test via DVSA on a Monday, getting a test in six month's time. Then we added all his info into the app, set his availability, paid for premium (17.99) and made sure we had auto book on! For the first week - we had nothing and I was starting to think I'd wasted my money, but then after exactly one week on I got a ping, his test was shifted forward by 18 days, not much but progress nonetheless. Then 45 mins later another ping, his test is now in 2.5 weeks! He's super happy! I made sure I turned off the scanning and auto book once this last swap date came through as he's happy with this new date.

In 3 months of use we had no useful productive assistance from the app. The app was set to auto but we never benefited from a test at our local centre. At one stage we drove over a hundred miles to sit a test within a reasonable time frame. We arranged a retest in May 2026 at our 3rd choice location. At 06:30 in the morning 26.06.26 the app moved our test to 08:20, the same day at our local centre. When we woke up at 08:00 this morning we read the messages, with just 20 minutes before the test was starting…. Obviously we weren’t able to get to the test centre with such ridiculously short notice. We were charged £62 and now have to wait 10 days before we can book again because DVSA regard us as a ‘no show’. The app developers are not interested in the massive inconvenience and financial costs. Truly pathetic service and appalling customer service. Avoid…

Just need to give it time but it works!
I signed up to this app at the end of February and on the day I signed up to it, it moved my test three weeks forward but still meant my test was five months away. Then there was nothing for weeks and weeks and I lost hope. Then today it has auto shifted me to this coming Wednesday!!! Sooooo happy! It DOES work - just need to give it time.

I’m actually please with TestShift, guys just give it time! I had a test booked 3 hours away from me 6 months away. i downloaded TestShift, I’m not going to lie, I lost hope a little bit after downloading but you really do need to give it time! I think it took 10 days to get the test I wanted (it gave me other cancellations in the meantime) and I managed to save 4 months! Unfortunately I did fail my test…but I still have my premium on TestShift so I’m hoping it will pull through again!

You just need patience, I thought this app was useless but then it moved me forwards!

At first I tried to cancel as I was very sceptical even though a friend had recommended this app for my daughter. But honestly hands down the app was very good changed my daughters test twice. Even my daughter’s driving instructor wanted to details for other students as couldn’t belive how many tests she had in short space of time. Worth the upgrade & pateince

Useless app. Used it a month now and not had one notification when I know there were tests available as have another app that does alert me to cancellation. I paid for this app so can auto move my test as the other app I paid for just takes too long for you to get through that the test is then no longer available. Please don’t waste your money paying for this app
