Growave: Loyalty & Wishlist
All reviews
Have ran into issues with Growave time and time again over the last 2 odd years of using the app, and their live chat team seem to never be able to give me clear cut answers. The same one liner is always used , "let me forward this to our developers and get back to you when we receive a reply." They've recently updated the app and are now sending "system notification" standardised emails to your customers BUT you are unable to access these emails to customise them to suit your brand. The reason given was "if we change these templates for you, we will have to change it for everyone else". So in essence, you are unable to see what they send to your customers which makes no sense. There are a number of other issues with this app that I won't go into detail here, but overall I would not recommend this app for its lack of customer service and lack of customisable functionalities.
Dear team at AJ Craft Supplies, I deeply regret the challenges you've faced while using our app. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced, particularly with our live chat responses and system notifications. 😌🙏 Taking into account your concerns, I'm pleased to inform you that we've now introduced features that allow users to easily customize emails, ensuring they align seamlessly with the branding and style of your online store. It's essential for us that our clients have full visibility and control over their communication with their customers. Our support team is continuously learning and evolving. We've invested in their training to ensure that they provide clear, concise, and immediate solutions to any arising issues. We're making every effort daily to ensure that our app offers a seamless and efficient experience for all users. Thank you for choosing us, and I genuinely hope that our recent improvements align more closely with your expectations. 💞 Warm regards, Begaiym, Reputation Manager!
A mysterious "glitch" for 5 weeks have left me unable to use this software and all I continually get is: "We will reach out to you shortly for a resolution." Asked for a refund over SEVEN TIMES now and have never been given a straight answer. Absolutely ridiculous! Reporting to Shopify to get my refund.
Dear Shea Shea Bakery team, On behalf of Growave team, we would like to apologize for your negative experience with us 😥. Please let us inform you that we do value every merchant and it's important to us that all of our beloved customers are happy with our application. We went ahead and conducted a thorough investigation of all your queries, and we noticed that our support manager missed your refund query as it was among your other requests. Please accept our sincere thousand apologies for that. We do understand that it's a glaring mistake, unfortunately, this happens when contact is not face-to-face 😔. Additionally, we hasten to inform you that first of all we have already made you a refund for the requested period. 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 [email protected] or via Live chat. By the way, we contacted you via chat and Skype and unfortunately were not able to receive an answer 😔. We don’t know if we can wish that we can see you again in our ranks in the future, Shea Shea Bakery team. We wish you only the best and hope that you will be able to regain your trust in us someday.
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!✨
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✨.
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. If there's anything specific you would like us to address or if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. We value your business and are dedicated to ensuring your satisfaction. 💞 Thank you for your understanding. Best Regards, Begaiym, Reputation Manager
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🙌🏻!
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!
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!
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.
