This app is adding (1) in all titles of stores for years and they're not solving it. I've seen it also in other stores using this which affects SEO.
We appreciate you letting us know that you have been experiencing this issue here in your review. Our developers are aware of this problem and have made a change on our end that we believe will resolve this issue for affected merchants. However, as you will likely need Google to recrawl your website in order to see the problem resolved on your site, we'd recommend following the instructions listed here in order to help get this issue fixed as soon as possible: https://bit.ly/3HUjHT9. Thank you for getting in touch and I hope you're able to see this fixed on your store before too long. -Victor, Shopify Support

I have tried to use this app several times over the last few months and have been very disappointed each time. It has great potential and I really want to like it but it has fairly major usability problems, delays in notifications of received messages (meaning the customer has already left the chat session before I'm notified they've sent a message) along with a lack of transparency about automated messages. Today I received a notification of a chat message and when I went to respond I can see the app has already sent several automated messages to the customer with incorrect information. These messages were not programmed into the app by me so I have no idea how they were generated. The reply the customer received was incorrect as it advised her that her order number didn't exist, which is incorrect. I now have a very unhappy customer to deal with. I do not trust this app to respond to my customers and have turned it off yet again.

Wanted to like this, but found it to be very frustrating for both myself and my customers. No matter want auto-reply was used customers expected an instant reply 24/7.
Hi, there. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review and provide us with this feedback. We are sorry to hear the app didn't work out with your shop. If you reference our Shopify Inbox guide (https://bit.ly/3IRcODq) it notes different ways to create automated messages for your customers. One idea would be to let your customers know the available hours for your team to reply. Thanks again for reaching out! -Marty, Shopify Support

Thank you for writing your review and I'm sorry to hear that you've had this issue. If you can't load the app I would recommend checking that you have the latest version installed, and if you do, uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that solves the problem. If the issue persists, please contact our support team directly so that you can be authenticated on your store and this issue can be investigated in more detail. You can contact them via this link: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. -Victor, Shopify Support

Works to chat with someone online but won't send email reply when they are offline. I kept thinking I was emailing them and wondering why I wasn't getting responses. Then tested it on one of my email addresses and never got a reply. Tried fixing it with Shopify Chat Support and they didn't know what to do either. Just uninstalling for now so that I don't disappoint customers when they don't see my replies. Wish it worked though!
I'm sorry to hear that you've had this issue but thank you for notifying us about it here. I just tested this on my own store and after sending a message as a customer via the online store, I did then receive an email when I responded through the Shopify Inbox app in the admin as the merchant. This indicates there may be an issue with your setup, or with the email address provided via the chat box on the online store. I would recommend contacting our support team again so this issue can be troubleshooted in more detail: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. -Victor, Shopify Support

This app rarely works. I will get it working for a few days and then it quits sending replies. I don't have time to keep trying to figure out how to get it work correctly. Going back to Messenger.

this app so catastrophic, always delays, not reliable, no flexibility....are there any plans to improve this app soon? The FAQ feature is strong but the rest is horrible, please update if there will be improvements?

The phone is notification is so delayed, by the time you get it the customer already left your store 10minutes ago. - Inbox randomly decides to switch off and not be visible for customers. - Inbox not great for managing conversations, I can see some elements are there - App notifications are not a thread, each message different notification Avoid this until it's more polished and to the level one expects from a massive company such as Shopify.

This app does not support image. you won not able to see on your mobile. it's completely disappointed.
Thank you for getting in touch and for writing your review. The Shopify Inbox app allows you to upload and share images with your customers via your mobile device; I just tested this myself in my iPhone and was able to share an image successfully. I would recommend referring to our documentation on setting up the app (https://bit.ly/3Dapxxx), and if you're still having issues, you can contact our support team directly who'd be happy to assist you with this image load problem you're seeing on your mobile phone: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. -Victor, Shopify Support

*Extremely stressful experience. Can’t access any messages although I see them there waiting to be read. The app keeps disappearing and giving me the opportunity to download however it still seems uninstalled. Rubbish!
I am sorry to hear that you've had a stressful experience while using the Inbox app and can appreciate the frustration in not having it work as intended. Nevertheless, we appreciate you reaching out and sharing your feedback with us in your review here. If you are being asked to install the app again after having already done so, there may be a caching error with the browser you're using. You can try accessing the app via another browser or a private/ Incognito window to see if it works better there. If not, and if you are still unable to access your messages, I would encourage you to contact our support team directly so you can be authenticated on the store and our team can look into these issues for you: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. -Victor, Shopify Support

I installed this app, invested time in tweaking and testing it, added the phone app to be always responsive. No action on the app for since testing. Now I look at my backend and the app is not even there! What's with that?! I like the idea of what it offered, but it didn't come up with the goods :-(

Why we cannot give negative stars?? Minus 1000 for us, it installed by itself on a perfectly working chat (Ping) and is now asking our customers for their phone number to start a simple chat, we basically lost every contact with our customers, shame on you!

Hi, We would give a 0 star If we could. We never added the app on our store and we just received an email saying that a message is waiting via this app. After login, we realize that the app is available and running. Unable to remove it now. Please could you remove it ASAP. Thanks.

It's currently impossible to delete or mark conversations as inactive from the desktop web based version. You will have to download their mobile app in order to do this. How this was published without such a feature for desktop users is baffling to me. Yes, I understand there is a work around but no one runs their full time business from their phone only. And no one who manages a large amount of customer support does it from their phone either.

The only good thing about this is the order lookup. Otherwise it's very, very basic. Needs a lot of improvement to do things like missed chats, tell customers that you're offline, etc.

was working fine, but now won't stay on my site? seems like an issue as this didn't happen before - doesn't stay in the app store.

Trop ''basique'' . Il n'est pas possible d'automatiser ou de programme d'autres questions que '' je veux connaître le status de ma commande'' ...
Hello Mon Adresse Civique, thank you for your honest feedback. As we work on making an amazing conversational marketing app, your feedback is important to us. Although, the order look-up feature is not customizable, we will be releasing a new update for all Shopify Ping users within the next few weeks that will allow for custom automated responses that will appear along side the order-look up. I hope you'll try this feature out when it does become available as I think this is what you are looking for! If you ever need any help, have questions or even more feedback, feel free to reach out to our team via the support link in the app, or directly at [email protected]. Kind regards, Ruby C. Senior Support Specialist - Ping

The App doesn't work for users in Europe, because the chat button physically collides with the buttons of Shopify's Customer Privacy Banner (mandatory for EU shops) which renders it useless. There should be an option which allows to create a vertical offset in order to place it at a working position. Also, when changing the language the button won't resize and displays a chopped off text.
Hello MIRAI, Thank you for your honest review and detailed feedback! We take your feedback regarding button placement seriously and I will be sharing this with our Development team. In regards to the cut off text when displaying the button in another language, I will follow up with a direct email to you and see if we can work together on this issue. Kind regards, Ruby C. Senior Support Specialist - Ping

UPDATED REVIEW: Moved to 1 star. No progress has been made with this app. It doesn't load half of the time. There is no way to deleted/complete messages or categorize them still after 6 months and a newly updated name. Still no way to switch between stores. If you have multiple stores, you have to log out and log back in. There is no easy way around this. Original Review: 2 Stars We have 2 stores, we are unable to manage both within shopifyping.com There isn't a way to have a set schedule when our customer service staff shows up to work every day. The message management is clunky and you're unable to filter/archive old messages. When this app gets much needed improvements, my review may change.
Hello KIALOA, thank you for the review and feedback! We heard the feedback and want to let you know that our Product team is currently working on a solution to manage more than one store using Shopify Ping. I do not have an estimated release date, but this is something to look forward too! As for message management, we will be releasing the ability to filter/assign/archive messages on both android and web version of Ping by Spring 2021. And assigning chats on a set schedule; that is something I will take our Product team for consideration - this is valuable feedback! If you ever need any assistance with the app, or have further feedback and suggestions, feel free to contact our team directly at [email protected] Thanks again! Ruby C.

This is trash. Magically dropped off the store. Tried to reinstall, doesn't work. chat link takes you to a page asking you to load the app. What a load of sh1t.
Hello Meindl Australia, thank you very much for letting us know the app was not working for you. I will follow up with a direct email to you and see if we can work together on this issue. I'm not sure what you mean by it dropping off the store, so hopefully you can provide some more details so I can troubleshoot for you. Thank you! Best regards, Veronica N.
