Best playlist transferring app I have ever used
This app makes it so easy to transfer your music playlists and I absolutely love it. Highly recommend
2022-05-12
Awesome tool
Was super easy to transfer my Spotify playlists to Apple Music
2022-05-11
Dude holy cow
This app is legendary. Not worth the $39.99 for the premium option I saw but I will be looking for a way to donate cause this is magical
2022-05-10
Super Easy
Fast and free.
2022-05-09
Works well
I love it
2022-05-08
Did me bogus
I was waiting for 300 songs to transfer and when it finally did there was only 50…
2022-05-08
AMAZING FR
i was so worried ab what to do but the process is so easy
2022-05-07
Good app
I really liked this app it helps a lot to shift a whole playlist to another app it’s so good and it doesn’t take that long to transfer it really recommended if you want to move your songs to another app.
2022-05-06
The best music sync out there
It’s perfectly made, unlimited transfers for free, what more could you ask for?
2022-05-06
Easy-peasy
Easy to use. Saved me tons of time. User interface that actually respects me. Made auto renewal easy AND when I needed to pause made it easy to turn off.
2022-05-05
Didn't work
I'm on a family plan for Apple Music and wanted to switch over from Spotify. Everything went smooth up until the playlist transferring over to Apple Music. I closed the app and tried again, deleted and Re-downloaded, and tried to swap the playlist again to see if it would work. Overall the experience was fast and easy. I've heard good things about this app and wanted to try it, but sadly it didn't work for me.
2022-05-05
nope
garbage
2022-05-04
Music
Very good
2022-05-04
Great but incompatible with SoundCloud
Never rated an app but feel like I have to with this one. It can save you hours and it’s all free, works exactly as I hoped it would. Only problem for me is that it doesn’t connect to SoundCloud
2022-05-04
Ngl
For free is crazy they could be making bands
2022-05-03
Won’t do Spotify to Apple Music
Failed to recognize Spotify songs and transfer them to Apple. This is even using the Pro version that I paid for.
2022-05-01
Does not work
Worked fine before purchasing pro. Now I’m subscribed to pro but nothing works. Waste of money
Update: subscribed again and again, does not work. Only the free version works. I guess I’m stupid for subscribing again thinking it’d work this time.
2022-04-29
Horrible
Does not work
2022-04-29
A needed service
Works smoothly. Little slow, but works
2022-04-28
It works, but kind of slowly
Or that could just be my phone, idk
2022-04-27
Works really well!
I use it to transfer music back and forth between Apple Music and Spotify. Works flawlessly.
2022-04-27
5 Stars
Great app, does everything I need it to do. Nice job.
2022-04-27
Amazing!!
This app helped me transfer like 8 of my playlists (600+ songs each) from Apple Music to Spotify!! It was so easy to figure out and it did it quickly too. I was soooo scared that I was gonna have to manually do all my playlists lol but this app is it !!!
2022-04-27
The best transfer service
Hands down the best!
2022-04-26
Awesome
Quick and easy.
I was skeptical but it’s actually great. Saves me a huge headache transferring out of Spotify to Apple Music.
Thanks :)
2022-04-25
It works! 👍
It does exactly what it says. Very glad I found it!
2022-04-25
Does such a good job
Just wow, really this is such a useful tool! Just solved my problems all at once.
2022-04-24
PERFECT APP
This app is a perfect example of ‘great idea, even better execution’, it doesn’t have excessive ads, it works super quickly, it’s just simply amazing. I personally use it to convert Spotify playlists to Apple Music because Spotify has way more playlists, but I have Apple Music paid for, and free Spotify has crazy ads. Thank you SongShift!!
2022-04-24
Such a life saver!!! I had 600+ songs to transfer…
Lately I have been wishing there was an app like this, and I actually found one! I have more than 600 song to transfer from Amazon Music to Apple Music, this app just saved me so much time.
2022-04-24
Constantly failing to transfer playlists
Been getting frustrated with the app’s inability to translate playlists that have the songs
2022-04-23
I though I would need to build it myself
This app saw a great need and solved it. I literally had started to work on something similar because I was frustrated with the silos of our streaming services. Way to go SongShift devs!
2022-04-23
Absolutely amazing
I use this app so often to share playlists. It works so well and comes in clutch every time.
2022-04-23
Music
Absolutely life saver! Best app I’ve seen!!
2022-04-22
I was really happy at first but
My playlists are not popping up anymore, I bought a lifelong plan and I cannot get any customer support.
I also realized that the app was still billing me for monthly even though I bought the lifelong
2022-04-22
Exactly what I was looking for
This app is a dream I wish I knew about it sooner! The only complaint is that I wish I was able to add the playlist to my Apple Music without if automatically adding each individual song to my music library… maybe they can change that with the next update !
2022-04-21
Amazing app!
Literally one of the best apps/websites I’ve used to move music love it and will be using a lot more!
2022-04-20
Almost worked
Keeps confirming matches from a Spotify library transfer to a playlist in Apple Music and doesn’t transfer them even tho it says it did
2022-04-20
love the app
great app. keep up the good work 👍
2022-04-19
Best app to transfert playlists
I just transférés playlist from Spotify to Apple Music fast my and without any issue. Also it is free. Love it
2022-04-18
I want to cry tears of joy
I listen to a lot of music and recently switched from Apple to Spotify and I kid u not I had 28 playlists of 70-400 songs each transferred in a matter of minutes. And the song match feature is amazing. Love it and HIGHLY recommend.
2022-04-18
Doesnt work
Spend a lot of time setting up Spotify and Apple Music just to have it tell you the playlist was transferred. Nope. Nothing in apple music. Restart the app and get a message now that I dont have an apple music subscription: Yes I do, and I did before when I ran this app 5 minutes ago. This is another garbage app wasting space on the AppStore that doesn't work. Don't fall for it.
2022-04-17
Potentially great
I have thousands of songs and playlists on YouTube Music, and the whole reason I downloaded this app was to transfer them to Spotify. For some reason that seems to be the only thing that won’t work. I did a test and every other type of transfer worked painlessly. I keep seeing that is “failed to fetch songs”
2022-04-14
I LOVE YOU
ahhhhhhhhh words can’t explain how happy i am that this app exists, not only did it successfully transfer all of my 1200 songs but it also took less than 30 minutes! i’ve never wrote a review like this because i’ve never came across something so useful 🙇🏻🙏🙏
2022-04-12
10/10
Would recommend
2022-04-11
Amazing app!
Definitely did what I needed and saved me so much time!!!
2022-04-11
Love it!
Super easy to transfer playlists and songs, wow. Works best with Apple Music and Spotify from my experience.
2022-04-11
Easy and 99% accuracy
I moved from Spotify to Apple Music and SongShift made it super easy. Only 1% of my songs couldn’t be automatically matched, which is a lot better than I was expecting
2022-04-11
Works Very Well
This app works extremely well and does exactly what it is designed to do. I have been very pleased. Sometimes songs they select to transfer are not perfect, but I like that they make it easy to correct them before the transfer goes through.
2022-04-10
Does exactly what you’re looking for
Honestly impressed. Free, fast, and just works.
2022-03-25
Mostly Good
I've had this app for a couple years now and even purchased the pro version, and it's pretty useful for the most part. The developers definitely have some work to do in terms of bugs, however. I've been forced to restart shifts a number of times because they fail or get stuck in the process. Most recently (and the reason I'm writing this) a shift I update daily with around 500 songs was "processing" for over a day and rendered the rest of the app unusable. I ended up having to reinstall the app which erased all my other shifts so I'm pretty bummed about that.
2022-03-18
So happy!!
I downloaded this app after downloading another one with the same premise, but cost 3x the amount of this one. The fact that this app is so easy to use, free!!!!, and gives you purchase options for even more efficiency is so amazing. I’m happily surprised and would definitely recommend for anyone to transfer playlists with hundreds of songs in literal minutes. I transferred so many playlists with hundreds of songs each in less than 10 minutes. 10/10 love love love.
2022-01-30
Easy peasy
Not sure why anyone has any problem using this app outside ineptitude because I transferred everything in around 10min no hassle. Interface is intuitive and the transfers have been darn near perfect.
Developers you could easily give 5 free playlist transfers (so users know it is a solid app) and then some meager charge for x amount of playlist more because I would have paid. Don’t see a need for monthly or one time as I can’t justify $40 for a few uses.
Great job on the app though and thank you!
2022-01-17
Perfect Really
I only use the free features and would still give it 5 stars. It doesn’t lock any of the essential basic functions behind a paywall as many apps do. It also doesn’t (at least for me) ask for you to rate the app every time you open it, which led me to write this entire review today. Realizing how much I’ve used this app over a year or two, for free, I may purchase the annual subscription or the lifetime version of SongShift Pro.
2021-10-20
Great application and does what is advertised
When searching for an app to move play lists from one music service to another I ran across this one. It did most when I first got it and now does all that I need from the updates from the developer. It's not overpriced like a few that I found and it also does it all from your mobile device.
2021-09-09
Awesome! Love it. Works perfect.
But that’s not even the best part. The best part is that it works WITHOUT demanding access to all my personal info. It works without having to make an account, and give my email, or register, or swallow stupid ads. It just works good. Without being annoying or stupid. I’m gonna subscribe to PRO. Not because I need to, or because I want to. But because they made an app that works without being shady. Thanks!
2021-09-04
This app is so great
Honestly I thought this app wouldn’t work but come to find out this is going to be my go to app. I switched from pandora to apple music. I thought this would make me lose all my old music but this app helped me switch all my old music to new music to apple music. Not to mention it’s easy to use and took about 2 mins to switch a 203 song playlist. Now it’s on my new app. Overall this app i’m going to use a lot more now and I just love it. Totally recommend for music lovers.
2021-08-06
Nothing like it before.
SongShift has many music providers to switch between, and it work amazingly easily. You just select a playlist on one platform and you can automatically shift it to another. It’s also great to see that the developer chose to let the user make unlimited shifts without a subscription. Good business model.
2021-07-31
Life saver
I had to transfer over 200 songs for a friend to another app and instead of it take if me hours upon end to search and find all the songs. I was able to just use this app to switch the entire playlist over in less than a minute. It’s fast effective and efficient and gets the job done speedily. Plus is has a wide range of music apps to choose from end to transfer from so your music app is more than likely to be on here. Definitely highly recommend
2021-06-06
Delighted and surprised
First off I have to say the UI for the app is clean and very smooth to use and I’m surprised I’m even writing this since I never write reviews. The app is very good at connecting me to the music services that I wanted to transfer music from and I would say I’m so happy an app was finally designed for this purpose. Truly a need when music sharing and music is a ubiquitous part of life and music sharing with friends is done so often.
2021-05-03
Looked great but a waste of time
I found this app and it looked really promising. I began the process of transferring my first playlist to test it out the playlist name transferred but none of the songs did. I the. Decided this might be a one time issues and then decided to transfer all 3000 of my songs which took a while and non of them transferred again
Edit: I came back to it an hour later the 3000 songs transferred but the much smaller playlist of 200 songs did not trying again might fix the issue
2021-04-09
One of the easiest 5-star reviews of all time
I wanted to try other cloud music services but never felt like taking the time to keep multiple libraries up to date. They are unlocking new profits for all the service providers which is probably how they can monetize on the current subscription model.
you could cancel after getting your libraries synced, but this type of technology at this price point is a no brainer.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
2020-11-06
4 Stars
First reason why I give it 4 instead of 5 is because you get a limited amount of song shifts and have to pay monthly to get unlimited shifts and the 2nd reason I give it a 4 is because the music library is limited to what sources you can you use the 3rd is I wish you could have a pro version that you can buy but overall it get the job done good job SongShift
2020-10-28
Clutchest app I own
I’m not exaggerating when I say that this app perfectly embodies what it means to be a perfectly efficient and effective app. There are no adds, no annoying extra information and it completely serves its purpose of absolutely feeding me playlists. I am one of few friends that has Apple Music and I dare say this app saved my my aux capabilities from the brink of death. This app is quick, easy, and has allowed me to ABSOLUTELY RAVAGE other peoples playlists and make them my own. I look forward to stealing more playlists in the future with this app. 10/10 I would pay any amount of money for it but the fact that it is free almost brings a tear to my eye. Thank you, and god bless you songshift.
2020-10-09
The 4.0 update pushes me to finally buy the pro features!
Update: this app is still worth every penny of the pro upgrade and is a must! It helps my wife and I have a combined playlist of all our music so we can listening to everything on road trips and such!
I love the new update! Runs perfectly! I have no issues whatsoever! Does exactly what it says!
2020-10-04
Best in class
I’m writing a brand new review even though I’ve written one before. This app does everything it says it will and more. The developer is not only responsive and supportive, but takes pride in this app. I encourage everyone who uses more than one streaming service and/or wants to share or migrate different playlists or items from one service to another to buy this immediately!
2020-08-11
Best transfer service I’ve tried yet
Honestly the best matching service I’ve tried. Easy to use, free vs subscription option is the way subscription services should be modeled universally (you can definitely use the service for free and feel good about it but some nice to haves are in the sub). Matches are 99% accurate and it’s intuitive to fix the ones that don’t match or are incorrect.
2020-08-07
Great concept, horrible with accessibility with VoiceOver
Before this update, I was able to use this app quite nicely with voiceover. It wasn't the best design, and the labels on the different elements weren't very clear, but I figured it out after fiddling around with it a little bit. Now, virtually all of the elements are unlabeled, minus the list of shifts that I have already made, plus the new shift button. I can't figure out what I'm doing anymore, because nothing is being spoken to me. All it says is button. Can you fix this issue soon? Accessibility is the only reason that I'm not using this application anymore.
2020-08-02
Great way to manage my Pandora Likes with Apple Music
I really love Apple Music but not a fan of their AI Music Engine based on likes. Pandora does this the best but not a fan of the lower quality sound on sonos.
Song Shift does exactly what I need auto monitors and imports my likes playlist songs and I thumb up on playlist and I get to play them on Apple Music :)
Best of both worlds if you ask me.
2020-07-26
Great when it worked
I got the Pro version early on and it worked great at first even though overall the app felt very much a work in progress. Fast forward to today, the app is very well polished, and new shifts work great, but none of my saved shifts work anymore. I kicked off a shift three hours ago and it is still Quick Matching and Cancel Matching warns that it would remove it completely. It is clear to me they know the app has a problem and their “fix” is to start over. Given the use I have gotten out of this app makes it the most expensive app purchase ever.
2020-07-14
A lot of unlabeled buttons when using VoiceOver
When I used this app several months ago, it worked alright with VoiceOver, Apple's screen reader. But nowa majority of the buttons aren't labeled, so VoiceOver just says the word "button" and nothing else. I can start to make a shift, but none of the music services are labeled, so I can't figure out what's what. I also can't change any settings because the only button that has a label is the "close" button. Please fix this if you can. I'd love to use this app again.
2020-06-25
All tracks failed, unless I want to pay
First playlist I tried to bring from one service to another, every one of the tracks failed to import despite me being able to find tracks in the destination system. I could use the search/rematch functions to assist the app, but I’d have to pay for the pleasure of doing the work the app is supposed to provide. Reached out for assistance and have received silence. This app probably has potential, but I am sadly disappointed in that I’ll never find out. $5 isn’t a lot to pay for an app, but if the core functionality doesn’t work in the free version, I feel like this is a bait and switch.
2020-06-25
Awesome concept, but needs improvement.
I would love to give this app 5 stars for the concept alone, but it needs a few key improvements.
1) It would be nice to have an option to transfer the entire library of downloaded music between apps rather than just by album, artist, and playlist.
2) It appears as though the app needs to be running AND open in order for it to find song matches, meaning it won’t just process jobs if you switch to another app... the app has to be open or it’s basically paused.
3) This may be a reach, but I would also like to see the option to transfer cover art (for both albums and playlists).
I truly think if these features were added, this app would be perfect! Great job so far though!
2020-06-11
great concept, frustrating bugs
I’m finding this app difficult to use for a large library. The problems start when you have to manually find matches. If there are too many potential matches for an album, selecting one causes a second (often unrelated) album to be selected as well, and it seems you cannot select one without the other. Also, when the app crashes on the “shift” results page, you lose all of your work. It’s painful to struggle with selecting matches and then have to go all the way back to the beginning. Finally, you can’t use your phone while it’s running (40 minutes for my large library). It would be great if the matching process could happen in the cloud. This app is potentially a great tool, but I regret paying for it in its current state.
2020-06-02
Would like one more feature
Love this app! Does it what it's supposed to but it does annoy me a little how many songs it isn't sure about. I wish there were a feature where the most likely song gets added automatically and it just lets me know which songs I need to check are correct. But I have no complaints and the Pro version us definitely worth it.
2020-05-26
Do Not Buy This App
Not worth the $5, don’t purchase this app. I have over 500 songs I tried to transfer with this app and have only been able to transfer about a quarter of my songs to Apple Music from Deezer. Figured I would reach out to their support team since I’m a paying customer and have been completely ghosted by SongShift tech team. Received one email asking if I would share the music lists that wouldn’t transfer for “debugging”. I did exactly that and have not heard back since. Even after attempting to reach out multiple times for an update as to a status. Horrible customer experience, once you pay them you will never hear back.
2020-04-27
Absolute life saver!
This is my first Time i think i ever reviewed an app, this app saves you all the stress of going back and fourth with playlists regardless of platform and adding it song by song... the app is easy to use, and transfers entire playlists in minutes, i haven’t seen a transfer take more than 5 mins and i have some playlists with over 500 songs!!! The premium, atleast at the time of review, is only $5 and makes a easy to use app even easier with more accessibility. Definitely recommend especially if you have a lot of transfers to do. I couldn’t be happier and i had to share my opinion! I hope this app never changes and no this is not a paid review i stg 😂
2020-04-18
A must for...
Subscribers to multiple music services.
Effortless music transfer, auto-update, track-by-track verification...
For a free download, the app has a decent set of features—the main downside is the invasive ads. Upgrading to PRO legitimately got me shook! Full-access to premium feats including enhanced audio matching, customizable UI, and lightening-speed exporting/uploading. For less than a latte, save time, skip the headache. PRO is the only way to go.
2020-03-14
Completely convinced
It started off simple and I just expected it to get more complicated. It never did, the entire process was simple. I did pay for the premium because I had many playlist to transfer. Worked seamlessly, and if it didn’t find the song (didn’t happen often at all) it easily gave you the ability to search a replacement and this actually ended up finding the ones I needed. Don’t do a lot of reviews but this app definitely deserves it. Saved me days of work.
2020-02-07
Recommended
I’ll be completely honest when I say this was the best and easiest app to use to switch all my playlists. I have wayyyyy to many but to my surprise it only took about 10 minutes to transfer around 23 playlist with each of them having no less that 30 songs each. It’s quick and effective and out of the ~690 songs I transferred- only 2 of those where missing. TWO!!! That’s amazing
2020-02-03
the idea is nice but functionality needs work
the idea of transferring music from one service to another is really nice, and the app is easy to use, but i’ve been having a lot of trouble with the transferring process itself. the app crashes a lot while processing a transfer, which interrupts the process and it doesn’t notify me which is inconvenient. also the wait times are inaccurate for me. i’ve been trying to transfer my song library for about three weeks and i’m always given a wait time of 15 minutes just to check back an hour later and it would then say 9 minutes. i would then check back in 9 minutes and the app would show that the process has been interrupted and that i need to restart the process again. so again, great idea, works well with smaller playlists, but i’ve been having a lot of trouble which my larger playlists and my song library transfers.
2020-02-01
A music lifesaver
I recently switch music subscriptions and it was a pain to find all my old songs and made me wanna switch back. I googled ways for weeks, then I found a website that taught me how using this week after I was extremely close to giving up. It was so quick and I before I knew I had my music back in no time!!! It’s so easy to use and tells you whether they could find a match to the song. This app is great and gives so many options on how to transfer.

Wow!
One of the most versatile, nicest song switching app out there. Looks and feels very modern and snappy. Also works way better than I expected when transferring songs. So worth the upgrade cost. Thanks SongShift :)
Edit: From a continued user of SongShift for the past 2-3 years, I gotta say that this app has been time and time again a lifesaver.
This app has helped me so many times with incompatible devices that only use this service or smart speakers that only use that service. The thick walls these companies create is astoundingly annoying and songshift makes transitioning my music between them a breeze.
They have been keeping the app regularly updated and it still stands to this day that songshift is one of my most valued apps I have on my phone because of the constant updates and bug fixes to make sure the app continues to function silky smooth even as the different versions of iOS comes out. Hats off to the team. It is rare that you’ll find developers like the ones that built songshift that know what they’re doing inside iOS.
Anyway, great app. I’d love to see more apps from you guys.

Finally an app that transfers music
Probably the best app there is to transfer music. It was easy to use and simple. There was a few things that did bother me. It was crashing when I was transferring a lot of music at once. And for some reason when I transferred to Apple Music, some songs didn’t have album artwork. Had to search and re-add them to get the artwork. But overall a great app. No weird matches and it lets you know if there wasn’t a match for that song.

Unreal! If you wonder, yep it’s real!
It’s hard to believe that asking Siri a question just now has solved a brain-buster I wasted all day fretting about. “How can I transfer my song library, playlists, albums etc. from one music streaming app to another.
Appearing before me, top of the page, SoundShift. Went to the App Store, searched it, found it, and downloaded it. Super quick, easy to understand, did exactly what I wanted, and no hassles. Unreal.
Thank you, SoundShift.

DON’T CLICK PLAYLIST, CLICK SONGS
i’ve seen a lot of people in reviews saying that it took forever bc they shifted all their playlists one by one, but the easier way of doing this is actually clicking the “songs” tab instead of the “playlists” tab (shows up at bottom when choosing where to shift music) if you’re trying to transfer all your music. it takes a bit longer, but it’s only one process and you don’t have to manually shift every playlist.

Works well but needs improvement
Took a couple of days & a lot of refreshing to get all my playlists to show up. Then once they did it took me two tries to get my playlist to actually transfer, but once it did it worked pretty well. A few of the songs were missing even though they’re available on both platforms. I don’t mind having to go in & add them myself bc it’s not many but it’d be nice if SongShift gave us a list of songs that did not successfully transfer so I don’t have to look through the entire playlist. The app does what it’s supposed to, it just takes some time to get it to work. Customer support was also not very helpful in their first reply to my email trying to get help & then never answered me back.

The devil is in the details!
Works VERY well, I can’t say it doesn’t. The UI is well put together and very easy to navigate. My only; and I mean ONLY complaint, is that sometimes the “matched” files that the app picks are incorrect matches. Only a few per each “shift” but when it is wrong, it’s way off. This could also be the fault of the music service that is receiving the transfer, the only reason I think it’s this app is because I am able to type in the same search string and the first result is the correct one.
Would recommend this app over any alternatives!

Amazing service and even better team!
What started out as a great but buggy app has grown into so much more. I got this app thinking it would fail to do what I had wanted. This was the first app I found to actually be able to help me keep concurrent music playlist between two different apps. In the beginning it would crash every once in a while so I had rated it four stars before. The team however provide constant updates and support for this app and each new update adds another cool feature and makes it more stable. I now have absolutely no problems when I use this app and couldn’t possibly recommend this more. SongShift is amazing and I’m glad I found it!

Pretty great, some things that aren’t
The service really works well, although sometimes it takes a song from one service and puts a different song of the same name on the other service, even though the first song is available on the new service. Also, if the shift stops, and you try to just restart it, it won’t work sometimes. The service duplicates songs if they’re already on the destination playlist, which is something to keep in mind. Overall, it works the way it should, if not for some bugs.

Just what I was looking for
This app worked very well. I used the free version to test it out on one of my smaller playlist and it did what I wanted. So I had no choice but to support and buy the full version to get all the features. I would have given a 5 star rating but it did not find all my songs not sure if this was due to Apple Music not having them or just mis understanding thru the app. Also it did get mixed up on a few songs and put some other song. But overall I am very happy with the app and will continue to use.

Excellent music transfer implementation
I usually don’t rate any apps, but I had to make an exception for this. I told myself “I’m going to rate this if SongShift does what it says it does for free”. And it did! It was very intuitive and made me feel in-control due to its excellent UI. It matched more songs than its competitors as well. I don’t plan to use the pro features, but for $4, anyone who needs that service will find it a steal! Thanks for a well-developed app!

Worked great! Fast to transfer and easy to use.
After trying and failing with a more expensive option from the AppStore that requires you to pay $9.99 upfront to transfer anything over 10 songs, the free version of SongShift was able to seamlessly transfer almost 1000 songs from my Pandora thumb ups to a Apple Music playlist with only 20 songs unmatched. Thank you! Upgrading to paid version.

LOVE IT
I thought this was gonna be another one of those fake, move your playlists around, application, but after downloading and trying it for free, I was sold lol. I love how for only $4, it will sync across multiple applications, for as many playlists as you want, surprisingly accurate (you will sometimes get those outliers, but that is normal), and the automatic sync for when a playlist changes from the source. I 200% recommend this app to anyone who is transferring music streaming services.

Worth $3.99, for sure.
This app is amazing. Being able to transfer playlist between different music libraries/services is extremely easy. The free version allows users to transfer playlists one at a time, but the $3.99 to upgrade to the Pro version is worth it, which allows you to transfer multiple playlist at once and change the theme and icon of the app is definitely worth it.
The app does sometimes crash in the middle of transferring, but it at least saves where it left of. My iPhone also gets very warm (almost uncomfortably warm) when it is processing.

Great when it works, frustrating when it doesn't
When it works it does what it says. It can't seem to recover from crashes though. You have to delete and reinstall the app losing all the "shifts" that were previously done. That makes it currently dang near impossible to use for syncing. It might completely choke on a Playlist one run and not the next with no indication to the user as to why. If you have patience it's OK. If not you may end up frustrated. Five stars if the developer can fix the crashing, add some kind of crash recovery, and/or backup of "shifted" Playlist.

Artificial Paywalls
The system works well, but the artificial paywalls that they’ve implemented are to irritate you to such a level that you either forgo the app or give them money. I would’ve probably ended up paying for the full version to process my whole library if it hadn’t been for the 30 second ad paywalls. Those really grind my gears and I won’t give money to any dev that uses them.

Substitutions and empty playlists
The app first created empty playlists. I got it to work at some point (I think because another similar app made me change a setting which SongShift didn’t warn me about...). I imported a playlist and some songs got substituted for other versions. To be fair, other apps seem to do the same: they will replace songs by any close match. So for classical music an interpretation gets substituted by another one. Any song that has several versions could or could not be transferred properly... Useless. I wish the app makers would warn about this limitation.

Best Playlist Transfer App Around
I’ve tried just about every playlist transfer app there is and with the brand new 3.0 update, Songshift is by far the best one out there. I’ve been wanting an auto-sync feature for years and finally an app delivered.
My only request is for a two-way sync so regardless of the service I add the songs from, both service playlists are in sync.
