Customer service wont solve any issues and passes the buck back to Shopify. NO ROI on this service and it's a waste of money for any CPG company
Hi SNACKLINS team, We would like to apologize for your negative experience with our team.😥 As mentioned in the email reply, our team went ahead and conducted a thorough investigation, and we see that our support manager misunderstood your question. Unfortunately, this happens when contact is not face-to-face. 😔 That's why the answer has included the information about not reversing the charges, as Shopify Billing helps us with that. However, as we investigated, we found out that you have faced an issue with removing our app. If there is anything we can do to get you to give us another chance or make things right, please feel free to message us directly at [email protected].📩 If you're still experiencing issues, please reach out to us — we're more than happy to help, and we want to make sure that any lingering concerns are addressed. Btw, to better assist you and correct your impression, I have sent a follow-up email with a personalized suggestion. Please check your inbox for details. Thank you so much!✨

This app USED to be sooo good... and then they "updated". The integrations are so complicated to use now. You can no longer tag similar products for reviews, just honestly, find another app. These guys messed up big time in their "update".

If you want to use Klaviyo with this app - STAY AWAY! The integration used to be good, but since they redesigned the app, the integration is brutal. The timing dosen't trigger emails through klaviyo. I've been trying to deal with their customer service in Kyrgyzstan for 6 days and I keep getting this message "Please let me clarify this moment with the developers and get back to you!" The first line doesn't have answers for anything. $99.99 a month for a brutal app - STAY AWAY
Hi, the team at ChargeTab, We are terribly sorry to learn that we have let you down😔. We sincerely appreciate you bringing this to our attention since we are always looking for ways to improve. I'd like kindly let you know that we have fixed all of the issues with Klaviyo and now everything should work smoothly. I really appreciate your constructive criticism that allowed us the opportunity to improve and do better🙌🏻. We would appreciate the opportunity for a second chance. I would also like to talk to you personally to ensure that we take all the necessary steps at providing you with the 5-star experience we are known for✨.

Are these a bunch of fake reviews or has something really changed with Growave that has caused it to be broken? We've tried installing growave for our site DeliciousDoor, and have had a series of 20+ emails with their support team because there have been at least 10 MAJOR bugs in their tool that prevent refer-a-friend from working, coupons not being created correctly, Q&A not working correctly. I'm shocked that there are so many positive reviews on here! Super frustrating at this point as we've had bug requests in for ~2 weeks that are still open. Do yourself a favor and find an alternate app that works!

Update: Growave destroyed our code: We deinstalled the App and were wondering, why still all checkboxes regarding data security / newsletter-subscription / etc were not working. After a long search and the help by the Shopify support it came up that Growave totally destroyed our code. This lasts even the deinstallation. E.g. somebody creates an account and is not clicking the checkbox for a subscription he gets pushed into all marketing lists anyway. They know the problem and are not a clue into solving this. We no have to figure out how to handle the situation because this is agains EU law (and worst customer experiance). Thanks for nothing, Growave, thanks for not helping even after I described the issue several times. Never again. Please do not use this app if you like your Homepage. Wir haben furchtbare Erfahrung mit dieser App gemacht: 1. Nach einem Update gingen alle Email-Templates unbemerkt flöten und Kunden bekamen die default-Emails. Z.B. ab einem bestimmten Level hatten wir hinterlegt, dass individuelle Gutscheine mitgeschickt werden, diese waren dann natürlich auch weg. 2. Tiers: Wir haben über Tage ein Tier-Modell aufgestellt. Je höher man kommt, desto mehr Benefits, so kenn man es. Aber leider wurden plötzlich keinerlei Rabatte mehr angewandt. Vom Silber, über Gold, bis zum Platin Kunden, niemand bekam mehr Benefits. Im Kundenfenster wurden zwar generierte Codes angezeigt, aber das haben original 0 von 110 Kund*innen gesehen. Diverse Kunden sind wütend abgesprungen und teilten dies auf SoMe. Das ganze Tier-Modell funktioniert nicht, wenn man mehr als einen Benefit hat (dann braucht man aber kein Tier-Modell). 3. Datenschutz: Ohne Einverständnis der Kunden werden Kundenkonten angelegt. Wir haben uns gewundert, warum wir keine Kunden ohne Bonus-Club Mitgliedschaft mehr fanden und machten den Test: Aus jeder Bestellung wird ein Loyalty Konto angelegt, ohne dass der Kunde es mitbekommt geschweigedenn akzeptiert. Das ist ein Fall für den Datenschutz. Vom Support kamen zwar Antworten, aber keinerlei Hilfe. Ich bat um einen Anruf, weil es brennt. Der frühste Termin nach dem Wochenende. Dann brauchen wir ihn auch nicht mehr. Fazit: Eine furchtbare Erfahrung, die uns Bestandskunden verärgerte, Tage der Einrichtung sind futsch, Der Launchday wurde gecrashed und nun sind wir dabei Kunde für Kunde zu prüfen und ihm manuell Rabatte (die ihm im Rahmen des Programms zugestanden hätten) zu überweisen.
Dear team at 82NC, Thank you so much for your feedback! 🙌 We always aim to deliver a great experience, and we are gutted when we don't meet expectations. Thanks for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We will use the feedback to make us better and to ensure this doesn't happen again. However, the new interface of our app is still in the process and we are taking all the attention in our account and doing as our merchants wish. Again please accept my deepest apologies. We will do our best to make it so that it won't never happen again and gain your trust. 🙏

Furious with this application and the customer service. Everything was fantastic in the beginning. They get you onboarded and treat you wonderfully until you're all in and everything is integrated. Then they don't give a damn about you. They have no respect or loyalty to their customers that have been with them for years. The app is littered with bugs. I don't even know where to start, so I will just leave it at that. WEEKS of wasted time troubleshooting and dealing with back and forth emails. So much money lost due to bugs allowing customers to repeatedly share my brand on social media and rack up thousands and thousands of points resulting in lost money for my business. Then they have the nerve to randomly increase the price by 50% out of nowhere and you're just stuck with it. They're like the new Netflix, but worse. I am totally stuck with this app because my customers are used to the rewards interface, and I can't find another app that has all of the same features. I simply don't have the bandwidth to work on multiple new application migrations and customer education on the new app. I feel like I am chained to this app and it's incredible defeating. :(
Dear team atPeachy Athletic First and foremost, I want to sincerely apologize for the challenges you've encountered with our application and the level of service you've received. We deeply regret any frustration and inconvenience this may have caused you. 🙏 I want to assure you that your feedback is of the utmost importance to us, and we take it very seriously. We understand the critical role our application plays in your business, and we are committed to making things right. Regarding the unexpected increase in pricing, we completely empathize with your concerns. We recognize that such changes can be unsettling, and we want to address this in a way that is fair and accommodating for our valued customers. To ease the transition for you, we have applied a 30% discount to your account for the next year. This discount is our way of expressing our regret for any inconvenience caused by the pricing adjustment. Our goal is to provide you with the flexibility to adapt to the new plan without compromising your budget. We understand that migrating to a new system can be challenging, and we appreciate your loyalty to our rewards interface. Our team is committed to assisting you throughout this process, and we are here to provide any necessary support and guidance. Once again, we sincerely apologize for the difficulties you've faced, and we appreciate your openness in sharing your concerns with us.

Had one of the worst experiences with this app. Couldn't even begin to describe the months of back and forth while we helped them solved coding issue, fix crucial bugs and glitches. There is WAY too many codes that Growave implements on your site, 30+. This causes website to be slow and the user experience to be horrible. We upgraded our theme and deleted all the Growave codes because we were going to delete the App. Somehow we noticed that there was Growave code in the new theme! How it got there is highly suspicious. We deleted that App immediately after that. Over all this app is very novice in terms of functionality.
Dear team at East Meets West USA, I’m sorry to hear about your experience with our app didn’t meet the level of service we strive for. We value every merchant and it's important to us that all of our beloved customers are happy with our app 🙏🥺. Regarding your feedback, I would like to kindly let you know that our app affects the speed of the website loading but not significantly since all the scripts in it are minimized as much as possible and the files are loaded asynchronously. We always try to improve our app and speed is one of our top priorities today. As for the files, I'd like to kindly let you know that we only add the codes that help our features to work and function correctly on your website. Moreover, we only add them to the theme requested by the customers since we don't want to cause any errors and inconvenience from our end. Thank you again for taking the time to give us this feedback, I hope there’s another chance where you can try Growave again🙌🏻!

Stay away from this app. From their site it all seems simple but in the end it is impossible to set everything up correctly without problems. I was in constant contact with the team for 4 days to solve very small problems due to their non-existent tutorials! They don't even explain well in the FAQ or help pages how to do everything you need ... Not only that: I asked how to make a change on the reviews I uploaded and they replied that there is a "secret setting" that costs 150 $ ........... But do we realize? BAD BAD BAD I have installed LOOX and now everything works correctly. All set up in a few hours and the result is 10 times better, even graphically. Ah, and it costs less. GOODBYE
Dear team at Haliajewels, Firstly, I would like to extend our deepest apologies for the challenges you experienced with our app. It saddens me to hear that your interaction with our team and the overall usage of the application was not satisfactory. We genuinely value your feedback, as it drives us to constantly improve. 🙏 I want to assure you that, since your review, we have taken great strides to address the highlighted issues. Our app has undergone numerous updates, focusing on enhancing the user experience and ensuring that all functionalities work seamlessly. We recognize the importance of having clear and detailed tutorials and have thus made significant efforts to enhance our FAQ and help center. This ensures that our clients have all the resources they need for smooth operation. Regarding our support team, they are dedicated to working every day to assist our clients in the most efficient manner, striving to resolve queries in the shortest time possible. We've also been actively updating our Help Center, making information easier to access and more user-friendly. I deeply regret the inconvenience you faced. I take pride in the strides and improvements we've achieved since then. It's our earnest aim that anyone interacting with our app now finds it more aligned with their expectations and needs. 💙 Warm regards, Begaiym, Reputation Manager!

This is the second time I review this app as the owners offered me 3 months of free trial for testing again. On the second day I arrived at the conclusion that this app is slow as hell... With the speed tester that Shopify provides, grew from 28 to 47 points just for deleting this app. The reviews widget has a lazy load with at least 2 sec. delay. The email templates and the wishlist are ugly and not very customizable. Not very recommended!
Hey team at S3ART Store, Thanks a lot for your feedback! We're truly sorry that we didn't meet your expectations 😔. We understand and accept the fact that we have room to grow 🙏. We use the Lazy Load strategy in the optimization of our app. It is a strategy for defining resources as non-blocking (non-critical) in order to delay the loading of those resources until they are really needed. This can shorten critical rendering steps, resulting in faster application load times. In spring 2021, we did a lot of work to improve the speed of our app with the Shopify team. They have very strict requirements for app developers and remove apps from the App Market if the app affects the shops' speed by more than 10%. We have passed all their tests and now continue to work on speed, as we want to be the best solution for our customers. Also, we want to mention that compared to many other apps, we have 5 features in one. We'll definitely take your feedback into account and continue to work on improving our app. Again, we are very sorry that we disappointed you 🥺. We really want to continue our cooperation with you and the manager of the Customer Support Department is trying to contact you, but it is unsuccessful 😔. It would be great if you could check our emails 🙏. Thanks a lot!

terrible customer service and technical support. Cannot resolve a so-called easy problem after a few weeks. time wasting!
Hello, dear 幸福站 team! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, your feedback is very appreciated! Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience and for making you wait for a long. This is not the kind of experience we would want our customers to have and we'll surely take this on priority. Our big team works every day to improve our service and we are very sad for not meeting your expectations and not being helpful on time. Here at Growave we live by our customers’ successes and failures and want all of our friends to have only the best experiences. Regarding the issue with our Login app, I'd like to let know that your problem was unique and we sincerely tried to solve it together with our senior developers. I have already connected our development team to your case but since you deleted our app we cannot continue to work on the solution. We would love to make things right and fix any issues caused by Growave. And we would not forgive ourselves for letting you go with a bad impression of our app. If you would like to respond to our last support reply I would be more than happy to get this up and running for you right away. Also happy to jump on a quick screen share or video call to help you get set up also. We are here to help, and we believe we can resolve all the issues with your cooperation 🤞! Thanks again, and wishing you all the best 💖.

DO NOT use this service. Several issues with their coding and loyalty program that caused thousands of lost sales. Customer service does not follow up to help. You have to run after them after they supposedly will follow up with you. Save yourself the trouble and get better service with another company. It may cost more but will save you from losing customers due to growaves lack of ability to fix the technical issues. Customers have not been able to redeem their rewards and after contacting growave they still have done nothing about it 2 days later. We terminated our service with them after 2 years of being a loyal paying client. RUN FOR THE HILLS
Hello dear team at Coloured Raine Costmetics💅🏻💄, Thank you a lot for sharing your thoughts on us and on our app. We work hard to find a personalized way for every customer and your satisfaction is the key priority to us. We are truly sorry for not meeting your expectations, and yes, our team carries full responsibility for the support we deliver. I just want to note that we were unable to help you on time since we had no access as Collaborator to investigate the issue deeply. We sincerely wanted to assist you with the case, and as with every product on the Shopify platform, we investigated the issue inside our app, and when we realized that there is an outer source that is conflicting with us and asked for your cooperation, you rejected and denied it, putting the full blame on us. We do value every customer, each of them and we don't divide into old and new customers. I hope you can understand us and will take a step towards good and friendly cooperation, where the two-way connection is enabled and everything is solved in a peaceful and respectful method. We wish you good luck in your business, and just note that we are always happy to see you in our big and lovely Growave family!💫💖

I'm sad that I need to change my review to one star. This app USED to be amazing. Customer service WAS fast and responsive. Now I have to chase them down over and over to find out when they will respond to my tickets. I've been waiting literally weeks and have asked multiple times for something to get fixed. AND, I waited months for an update they said was coming. And when it finally DID come, I learned in order to access the change I was waiting for, I'd need to pay $30 more per month. I should have been grandfathered in at my current rate. They changed their whole billing system so now you pay $100 to integrate Klaviyo or $20 to get all the same features without Klaviyo. I can't even express how disappointing that was. ESPECIALLY when I had specifically been told email integration was coming to the Growth plan. Never did they mention it would be more expensive. I'll keep using the app for now only because I don't have the time to switch over to a different one, but I will be looking for a new solution. Such a bummer when something you start out loving turns to crap. Customer service is impeccable. They're quick to respond and always do their best to help me understand how to best use their app. They make all the changes I ask for. It's got tons of great features and options... plus one app vs 5 apps is amazing. The ONLY thing I wish was different is that the Growth plan offered Klaviyo integration. I'm a perfectionist and having all my emails look and feel the same is important to me.
Hello, dear Dirty Jane team 🙋♂️, Thank you very much for the review that you have updated. We do take every word from our customers seriously and always work on covering every small detail we receive from them. Sadly, not all wishes can be fulfilled at the same time and not each of them can be implemented in a way customer sees due to various reasons that we are unable to take control of. We work hard on making your experience with us great and some functionalities cannot be implemented easily due to the complexity of the requests, and even so, our teams worked well to deliver those requests to you. We value you as a customer and your experience with us is very important. As for the confusion with the Growth plan, we understand your frustration with it. This step hasn't been done to charge you more, since you know the Klaviyo integration was available only on Enterprise plan for $299, however now it is more accessible for merchants on a plan for $99. We understand how important it is to support shopowners and the pricing has been evaluated considering the third-party app cooperation (Klaviyo, which is the separate business we work with) and the complexity of the work that has been done during the update. We hope for your understanding in this situation and we did not ignore your case and even focused on a faster resolution, because, as it is written above, we do care about our customers and their experience is the top priority for all of us. Please let us reach you out and have a further discussion, our team is trying to contact you in Live chat and we would truly appreciate it if you would reply to us back. Thanks again, and wishing you all the best 💖.

Seriously not happy with this app. I thought i was getting an all in one automatic app, as this is how it was explained to me. If someone comes in my store and makes a purchase...they get points when they check out. if someone comes in that was referred by someone else, the referrer gets points...all not true. I have a free app that already does what this offers. I don't see the point of spending so much money to get nothing extra for it. I want my IN STORE customers to get a bonus...not make myself work harder! Can i give it negative stars for false advertising?
Dear ROTD Crafter's Corner team, First and foremost, I'd like to express our sincere apologies for not meeting your expectations with our app. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and I want to assure you that we have taken it to heart and have acted upon it.🙇♀️🙏 Our Reward program, in particular, has undergone significant refinements. Today, it works much more efficiently, benefiting countless businesses every day by enhancing customer engagement and loyalty. We've carefully crafted it to ensure that it not only serves its primary purpose but exceeds expectations. Beyond the Rewards system, I'd like to highlight that our app has always been equipped with integral features such as the 'Wishlist' and 'Reviews'. The 'Wishlist' allows your customers to bookmark their desired items, enhancing user engagement, while the 'Reviews' feature provides a platform for authentic feedback, reinforcing trust and facilitating informed purchasing decisions for potential clients. Your satisfaction is our utmost priority, and it drives our continuous efforts to refine and perfect our offerings. Know that we're consistently working to make our app the best version of itself, so it serves your business's needs seamlessly. 🥰 Warm regards, Begaiym, Reputation Manager!

Im so disappointed in this app. After removing it, because it did not provide anything of benefit to my customers or growth of my store, it has left random punctuation on my site that I can not fix. It's almost like the app wasn't fully developed, and some sort of "residue" was left after removing it.
Chelsea’s, thank you for feedback! We value the opinions of each of our merchants and take notes to improve the platform. Please accept our deepest apologies for the bad experience and disappointing you. However, we would like to note that it was not done intentionally. We’re afraid some of the Growave files are still in your theme due to the improper removal of the app. We would love to make things right and fix any issues caused by Growave. And we would not forgive ourselves for letting you go with a bad impression of our app. May I ask you to install our app again, thus we'll be able to clear all our files? Without installing our app, regrettably, we have no access to your files to remove lingering code. Promise it will be fixed in no time :) Our team has sent a couple of emails with explanations of why it happened. Hope you will be able to give us a chance to fix everything. You can just hit the Live Chat button on our website, contact [email protected] or we can jump on a call to discuss this.
June 14, 2020
TOTALLY not amused! The app says it does a bunch of things, but the only free tools are nothing but crap. When you delete the app, the app leaves a whole bunch of unneeded files in the code section. This is really annoying! I even don't know If I can delete them, because maybe the triggers are nested in my other code I had from my theme. TOTALLY NOT HAPPY! This is total bullshit. Thanks for waisting all my stuff!

Bad UX and Judge me is better. Installed both and Judge me got 50 reviews in a week while Growave didn't. Judgeme is free as well.
Dear merchant, Hope you are having an amazing day! Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We do value the opinions of each of our merchants. It is the most powerful engine for us to move forward! :) We share your opinion about Judge.me, it is one of the worthy apps, however, we would like to highlight that you could have collected even more reviews using Growave, you just seemed to have some difficulties with the app settings and as a result, were not able to get the most value and for that, we are really sorry... We would also like to note that our platform specializes not only in Reviews, we offer more than 5 useful apps (Loyalty&Rewards, Wishlist, Social Login, Shoppable Instagram) under one roof of Growave. And we wouldn't want to let you go like this, with bad thoughts about us on your mind and with the wrong foot we have gotten off on. What about starting all over again? :) Please rest assured that all your words have already been taken into account in order to improve our platform and make your experience way better with us this time. You can just hit the Live Chat button on our website, contact [email protected] or we can jump on a call to discuss this.

To use all their features you need to upgrade and pay even during the trial period you can not use to test all the features, after trial period is over they will charge you $9.99 monthly.
We deeply apologize for your bad experience. We are normally known for exceptional customer support. However, we would like to note that 30 days of free trial is available on any of our plans. The app doesn't charge during a free trial. But you are always welcome to get in touch if you have any kind billing issues: [email protected] We understand that this is crucial for your business. That's why we are always open and flexible to discuss such issues. Also, please note that we offer an option to try absolutely all of our features on a Free plan for 30 days. After that, you can keep our Free plan forever with no charges at all :)

Sorry guys but i need to give you one star only, i wanted to try the instagram app and got installed so many other apps. once uninstalled there were a bunch of pages and existing code touched so the login didn't work anymore.
We would like to apologize for the inconveniences it has caused you. The thing is that you have installed a wrong app. That’s why other apps were installed. We have another app called Shop Instagram & UGC. If you wish to use only our Shop Instagram app, you can easily install it here: https://apps.shopify.com/instagram-photos Also, you can remove all of the codes with ONE click using a button on the main page of our dashboard. We value and respect your business, so we always strive to make it so that there is no leftover code after uninstalling our app. Moreover, we are among the first app vendors who were the first in the marketplace who implemented such a special button for this. If you ever experience such problems, our team would be able to remove all the leftover codes and pages easily. Literally, it will be done in a few seconds. You can just hit the Live Chat button on our website, contact [email protected] or we can jump on a call to discuss this.
