Review summary

Evaluating 129 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed dissatisfaction with the payment process and felt that the service did not offer good value for money. They reported issues with the app not providing notifications or auto-booking tests as expected, leading to a feeling that they did not receive the expected value after paying for premium features.

Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with the app, successfully securing earlier test dates and finding the auto-shift feature effective.

I had to write a review to share my experience of the test shift app. I was so wary after reading some reviews saying the app is a scam but I was willing to give it a go & risk losing my money if there was a chance of getting my son an earlier test than in 6 months. I signed up 2 weeks ago. His original test was booked for October. I initially received several notifications for cancellations in the next 10 days which would be too soon for him. I then got a notification to say his test had automatically been shifted to 2 weeks earlier than the original date. I then received another notification today to say his test has been shifted to 7th July. This was the ideal date for us so I’ve now paused the scanning to avoid anymore shift changes. The best thing about the app is they actually change the test & you get an email straight away from the DVSA to confirm the change. I’m so pleased with the decision to use the app.

Great app

Great app, my son’s original test was booked for 18/8 100miles away from us. Test shift then moved it to 11/6 to the test center in our town and then again to 30/4 and my son passed his test. £15 well spent. We were on another app that cost a lot more and they did nothing.

Warning: Fraudulent App - Waste of Money!

I subscribed to TestShift after seeing a lot of test cancellations and alerts during the free period. As soon as I paid for the subscription, the app completely stopped working as promised. It has been over two weeks, and despite setting my preferred test dates for an entire year, not a single test was auto-booked. Meanwhile, another genuine app (Testi) showed multiple available slots which I could not secure through TestShift.

It’s very clear that this app is misleading customers with fake alerts to push them into buying the subscription. After paying, the service becomes useless. It feels like a deliberate scam to take advantage of people desperate for driving test slots.

Not only that, but it seems the app may be colluding with certain driving instructors to exploit students financially, by encouraging unnecessary extra lessons after booking tests.

Please be warned: do NOT waste your money on TestShift. This app is a scam. Use other trusted apps instead. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated.

Downloaded this app for my son.

Downloaded this app for my son.

He saved 117 days. Test was Aug 25, got a cancellation 17 Apr 25.

Set up your test centre, set to forward, say how many days notice you need, and when you are available and set to auto shift. That's all you have to do.

Cannot believe it worked this well, but it did! He got the first shift to May after 3 days, then the next day the 17 Apr slot.
Very relieved it did.

Once 17 Apr was secured we paused it and he sorted annual leave.

Setting to auto shift means no chance of missing a slot that suits you.

Well worth the £15

Best app

Absolutely brilliant. Signed up to Testshift premium . My son got a cancellation within a week of signing up to this app. The test was moved from September to April 25 . So easy to use and took all the stress off the whole process.

Pure scam

Pure scam. Do not buy, total waist of money. Lots of slots were available due to people cancelling their test and didn’t get an alert. I saw them by going to the website myself. Want my money back

Fantastic App - Highly Recommend

After a terrible experience with similar apps "Test" and "Driving Test Now" even after paying the premium fees, I decided to have one final attempt at such an app.

I have to say, I am so glad that I did and couldn't recommend TestShift enough. I paid the premium and selected my availabilty and within 3 days I had an earlier test!

I have since recommended to others who have also had a great experience with the app!

A good system in very difficult times.

As an instructor we see a lot of these apps, promising the earth.

The test centre I operate out of is booking 24 weeks in advance. I tried this app to check it works before recommending to my students.

I have had a test moved on 2 separate occasions saving my pupil about 2 months. You do have to be patient as this process has taken 2 weeks but well worth the £11.99 they charge.

I did email a request to them that was dealt with very quickly.

Thank you for your help.

Paid for service and unable to use it

I paid for the premium last month, decided to cancel a few days after. Apple Pay managed to get a refund for me. Then this month I decided to give another go to the app, paid against my subscription but my premium features just don’t load so I’VE PAID AND I AM UNABLE TO USE IT.
I have sent several emails to the company and they haven’t replied to me (only contact method available, shocking, no chat, phone, letter etc). I just want to be able to access my premium as I paid for it or get my money back.

The app works well

The app works really well. It did take a week or so to get any notifications but then it autobooked me a test which was 16 days earlier than the one I had.

You just have to stick with it and something will show up!

Best of luck to anyone looking for a test :)
