Hidden fees, after I checked all the fees for the last months I realised that the app was charging me $300-$400 monthly with the Growth plan $39.99, they don't show in the first place that you pay $40 per 300 email requests. You can only see those fees somewhere hidden in their app . Very bad tactic. I will request a refund from Shopify as well. They have stolen more than $2000 in total from me.
Hey, Josh from the Loox team here :) I completely understand how stressful it is to get an unexpected charge. I would be happy to help you with this. I want to assure you that Loox cannot, on a technical level, add any hidden fees on our subscription plans available. Our Growth plan is a pay-as-you-grow plan that charges based on how many review request emails you send each month. You can also find this outlined on your Plan Selection page, our website, as well as the Shopify app store. This plan is designed to allow you to collect reviews from all your customers, but only pay for what you actually use. This means that during slower months you automatically pay less. Loox is designed to provide extremely high ROI on the price, not only by creating social proof that boosts conversion but also by incentivizing repeat buys with next-purchase discounts for reviewers, as well as reaching new customers via Loox Referrals. I’ve personally reached out to you and am happy to continue the conversation with you privately.

Nul ! Impossible de vous contacter donc je laisse un avis. Je ne peux pas accéder à la gestion des mes avis si je ne paie pas 39$ Ok je ne peux plus recevoir d'avis supplémentaire si je ne paie pas, mais laissez nous au moins gérer des avis déjà présent sur la boutique.. Je paie 9$ par mois pour rien car je ne peux plus rien gérer tant que je paie par 39$ ... Je vais chez judge.me 14,9$ par mois en prix fixe et sans augmentation, car je ne comprend pas vos prix 39$ PUIS 599$ pour des avis c'est pas possible...

Hey, Josh from the Loox team here :) I would be more than happy to help you here and try to address your frustrations. Our Beginner plan is designed for stores who are starting their journey and help them grow their business. In fact, we offer various plans to accommodate stores of all sizes and budgets. From just stores starting out all the way to tens of thousands of orders a month. Loox is designed to provide extremely high ROI on the price, not only by creating social proof that boosts conversion but also by incentivizing repeat buys with next-purchase discounts for reviewers, as well as reaching new customers via Loox Referrals. In any case, our support team is available 24/7 and always happy to help! I’ve personally reached out to you regarding your plan and am happy to continue the conversation with you privately.

Lousy customer service. I have problems with the app and I am waiting for a response for more than a day.

I have been using loox for a long time, they automatically changed my plan twice to upgrade me from $14.99 to $34.99, I only found out about this loophole when I saw my bill, they upgraded my plan without my consent, this time I found out they upgraded my plan again, I tried to contact them to change it, they didn't reply to my emails for a week after they changed it, I asked Why is there a $9.99 plan now and why can't I even get back to customers when I use the premium plan, no one gives me an answer, no matter how much you contact no one will get back to you. I just think they gave someone a benefit for someone else to write them a 5 star feedback, I have been using it for a long time and am very angry. I hope you don't join this scam.
Hey, Josh from the Loox team here :) I'm truly sorry to hear your experience with Loox was not as you expected. I would be more than happy to clarify what's going on. Shopify requires explicit merchant consent when selecting an app's subscription plan. Loox cannot, on a technical level, change your subscription plan ever. From your account history, I can see that you changed your plan several times over the course of your history with Loox. I can also see that you reached out to us regarding these changes and that we responded within a few hours to each email. I personally called you today to try and speak with you and help address any of your confusion. During our call, you expressed that you did not wish to speak and provided me with an additional email so that we could be in contact. I immediately emailed you following our call with an explanation of what was happening and, once again, address your concerns. I would be happy to schedule a time and discuss your current subscription. I have sent you my personal link for us to work together and answer all of your questions.

One of the worst customer services I've dealt with, you no live chat, you can only send an email, which each time someone else is responding. I've tried for several hours to get help to set up correctly the app on my store, and it's a nightmare. And you're paying money for that horrible experience.
Hey, David from the Loox team here :) I'm truly sorry to hear your experience with Loox was not as you expected. Generally speaking, our support team is available 24/7, and we always answer any query within 24 hours. I would be more than happy to help you resolve any issues. I took a look at your request, and it seems that my colleagues were trying to help you in integrating our star ratings widget into your product pages. No worries, our star rating widget is able to be displayed on any of your Shopify pages. I have reached out to you privately to better assist you.

STAY AWAY!!!!!!!! Way too expensive and impossible to remove from your website. This has been the only review app that left code on my website after deletion. After following their steps to manualy remove their code, it still causes bugs on my website.
Hey, Yishai from the Loox team here :) I totally understand how stressful it is when an app isn't behaving as you expect. Unfortunately, Shopify removes all access to edit your theme when an app is removed and apps are not able to automatically remove any code once uninstalled. We do automatically hide any elements after removing the app and nothing should appear on any page once refreshed. In any case, our team would be happy to go into your theme and manually remove the Loox code once you give us permission. We have contacted you privately to continue assisting you with this. Regarding the price, our pricing is designed to fit merchants of all sizes from those just starting out, all the way to big brands. We have various plans that fit different needs starting at only $9.99/month. Please check your Shopify email for a response from our support team on how to give us permission to help you remove the code from your theme, we'd also be more than happy to help with anything else you need :)

mauvais rapport qualité prix. En payant le forfait de base on a quasi rien. il faut prendre le forfait à 34€ pour être tranquille ce qui est un peu abusé pour des reviews.
Hey, Amit K. from the Loox team here! Loox offers various plans for all types of merchants - beginners, advanced, and professionals, starting at only $9.99/month to match the needs of brands of all sizes. We completely understand that costs are a big part of every merchant's decision of which apps to use. Loox merchants enjoy great ROI on any plan, by helping acquire new customers, converting visitors to buyers with product reviews, and retaining existing customers with rewards. To further explain your options with Loox and help you find the Loox plan that suits you best, I contacted you privately and would be happy to continue the conversation over there :)

i cant import any review since few days , it give me a message that no product found, i request help but no answer
Hey, Josh from the Loox team here :) Loox supports importing an unlimited number of reviews to your store. While our Aliexpress importer lets you pull directly from AliExpress, our Import template can be used from any previous source. I have reached out to you privately to better resolve this. Please lookout for an email from our Support team.

This app charged me $99 every month for less than 100 emails. They never notice me about this to change plan. And their tech team is very unprofessional, the style and position of the review star kept being incorrect and I had to email them repeatedly to update it.
Hey, Yishai from the Loox team here - I'm so sorry your experience with Loox was not what you expected, I know how stressful it must be to receive charges that you were not expecting. It seems that a few months ago someone on your team moved to the $99.99/month plan which caused these charges to be triggered every 30-days. Please note that a Shopify app cannot change a charge without the store approving it, and an email from Shopify confirming the charge should have been sent at that time. No worries, we are going to work with you privately to sort this out ASAP. In regards to the star ratings on your store; it seems that this was caused by another app integrated with Loox, which we have already worked together to help you display the stars how you wish. This should no longer change as the other app corrected the behavior.

scam app, I changed my plan from essential to growth this month and I don't know it cost me over $400, I am still able to access the app now but my review history are gone it need me to pay again, really really bad experience.
Hey, Josh from the Loox team here. I apologize for any confusion on the matter! I'd be happy to explain why you are seeing these charges. Our Growth plan is a pay-as-you-grow plan that charges based on how many review request emails you send each month. This plan is designed to allow you to collect reviews from all your customers, but only pay for what you actually use. This means that during slower months you automatically pay less. In any case, Loox is designed to provide extremely high ROI on the price, not only by creating social proof that boosts conversion but also by incentivizing repeat buys with next-purchase discounts for reviewers, as well as reaching new customers via Loox Referrals. I see that you have recently uninstalled Loox which is preventing you from accessing the admin. I have reached out to you privately to better address your concerns. Please lookout for an email from our Support team.

The app is really bad. I removed him from my store and he's still there. The app is really bad. I removed him from my store and he's still there.
Hey, Amit from the Loox team here! We took a look at both of your stores (tosin-shop.myshopify.com and tosinshop.myshopify.com) and did not find any Loox leftover widgets. If you still see a Loox widget on one of your stores, please contact us at [email protected] and we'd be more than happy to sort this out for you :) In any case, please feel free to contact us with any questions or requests you might have and we'll gladly advise.

I have installed the app to test it for a day but decided to get another app instead. But how TERRIBLE!!! It pretty badly messed up with my shop's codes. Super annoying that a prompt "An embedded page at Loox.io says error" keeps on coming up. Significantly slowed the shop too. Imagine all the annoyed customers and lost sales. This needs to be corrected ASAP.
Hey, Yishai from the Loox team here :) Generally speaking, once Loox is removed from a store all the Loox elements no longer load and no errors would appear for your customers. Since we stop all elements from loading on stores that removed the Loox app, the loading times would not be increased in any way. Please note that installing various apps on your store could affect loading times in a more substantial way since more elements try to load at the same time (but once Loox is uninstalled its elements do not load and would not affect the loading times in any way.). I'd be happy to better understand where this error is seen and sort it out for you. I have contacted you privately through our support and will make sure to solve this with you.

Couldn't upgrade app. Very buggy and expensive . Not happy and currently would not recommend it at all.
Hey, Dor from the Loox team here :) I took a look at your store and your Loox admin, and it seems to be working as expected, both on your store front and on our backend. Additionally, please note that you can upgrade your plan at any time through your Loox admin. In any case, I also contacted you privately so we can resolve any issue you might be experiencing together!

this app is really good to use but is a bit more expensive, if it is priced at 9$ per month for the top end service then that would be fine.
Hey, Yishai from the Loox team here - I'm glad you're enjoying the app! Loox offers various plans starting at only $9/month to match the needs of brands of all sizes. We completely understand that costs are a big part of every merchant's decision of which apps to use, and we are sure that the higher plans give a great return on investment for those that use them. To further explain your options with Loox and to see how we can help you get even more value from the app we sent an email to you from our support and would be happy to continue the conversation over there :)

Reviews are not translating in translation apps, And you have to pay absolut insane amount of money extra just for that.
Hey, Dor from the Loox team here :) I'm sorry to hear your experience with Loox was not as you expected, and I'd like to elaborate on this matter. Please note that since Loox does not have a built-in solution to translate reviews on your live site, we have an integration with Weglot, which allows you to do just that. Through the integration with Weglot, you can translate your reviews automatically according to the user's language. The integration with Weglot is available on the Advanced plan, which I see you are currently subscribed to. If you are facing issues with the integration, or for some reason it is not functioning properly, please let us know and we'll be happy to assist! In any case, I have reached out to you over email for further assistance! Please look for an email from [email protected] in your inbox :)

Charged an extra $100 with no explanation. The app is already quite expensive - a random $100 charge is unwelcome. Can't get customer service to respond.
Hey, Abby from the Loox team here - I apologize for any confusion on the matter. I'd be happy to explain why you see this charge :) Our Unlimited plan (which you are subscribed to) is a pay-as-you-grow plan. This means that while there is no limit on the number of emails that can be sent out, we charge based on how many emails are sent each month. This plan is designed to allow you to send out an unlimited amount of emails while paying more the more you send. To better explain how we charge on this plan, we have reached out to you privately, please lookout for an email from the Loox Support team. We'd love to work with you to make sure you are satisfied with Loox.

You're better off finding another review app. For what they provide, which isn't much, they overcharge and are not small business friendly. In my case, I wanted to stick with it and see how it goes as my business grew, which it did and is doing. Unfortunately, barely anybody leaves a review. A small percentage of a large number is a larger number. But Loox doesn't base their plans off how many reviews you get, they base it off total orders. They care about the denominator (number of orders), rather than the numerator (the number of reviews their app generates), which is pure greed. There's no incentive on their end, and constantly they have wackjobs and robots trying to upsell you. I'm going to seriously consider using another app, I just need to have the time to do so. FYI, many larger shopify stores use other review apps like Yotpo. Clearly at scale they must be able to denote the lack of legitimacy of Loox. Apparently it's not big business friendly either! Look passed the reviews and actually read the fine script, see how they charge you, and don't make the mistake of starting with Loox.
Hey, Yishai from the Loox team here. We appreciate your feedback and I'm sorry to hear you have not found the value you were looking for in your current Loox plan. Loox offers various plans to accommodate stores of all sizes and budgets. From just stores starting out all the way to tens of thousands of orders a month. It seems that your account, which on the current plan is able to send 100 emails per month, has exceeded this quota. Please note that Loox does not count the number of orders but the number of emails it sends to your customers asking them for reviews. Our Success team would love to talk to you and give you all the tips and best practices that will increase the number of reviews you get each month and increase the return on investment on your monthly subscription :) We have sent you an email to continue this conversation and make sure you get the value in Loox that over 100K stores know and love!

The fact that you ask permission to take every single drop of data from the store for the app to be installed even though you are a paid app is disgusting.
Hey, Josh from the Loox team here :) Loox, like all apps on Shopify, requires certain permissions to provide our services. Each permission that we ask for is purely for the proper functionality of the app and it's services as both our merchants and their customer's privacy is important to us. I also want to assure you that we would never use any data from your store outside of the reasons that we specifically require. You can find an explanation of each permission and why we need it here: https://help.loox.io/article/82-what-permissions-does-loox-ask-for-and-why I would be more than happy to address any additional concerns that you may have. An email is waiting for you from our Support team.

Why am I prohibited from entering the app background page?I have subscribed to a basic subscription but after reaching 500 orders, it is no longer possible to enter into the application to manage customer reviews that are already registered. I can't modify anything anymore !!! Loox asks you to switch to the higher plan otherwise you can't enter the application to manage the existing customer reviews !So disappointing!!!

How embarrassing. I got prompted by the app offering to upgrade to the "UNLIMITED" plan from the Pro plan. It's only about $40 difference, right? Well... No... I was charged about $250 more (each month!). Support replied saying I sent more emails than allowed, and that's it's all mentioned in the program description. And they are right. My fault. BUT WHY WOULD YOU CALL A PLAN - "UNLIMITED" and present a $99/month fee, If it's only unlimited when you reach $499.99?!? I'm canceling my subscription and moving to other, better, cheaper apps. Thank you Loox, every lesson counts.
Hey, Amit K. from the Loox team here :) I apologize for any confusion on the matter. As we mentioned in our correspondence, the Unlimited plan is designed to scale with your business and to avoid overpaying during slower months. We also mentioned the plan's terms on this page, our pricing page, and Shopify's charge confirmation page. In any case, I have reached out to you over email for further assistance!
