Reviews Summary
The reviews for this Shopify app are quite polarized, with a mix of positive and negative feedback. Positive aspects highlighted by users include the effectiveness of SMS marketing in generating sales, the ease of use of the app, and the helpfulness of the customer support team, particularly mentioning a person named Joe. Users appreciate the ability to recover abandoned carts, engage with customers through text messages, and see significant revenue growth. On the other hand, negative reviews mention issues such as the app not working, poor customer support response times, high costs compared to other apps, and concerns about unauthorized changes being made to their websites without permission. Some users have expressed frustration with the lack of communication and support from the team, especially when facing technical issues or changes to their stores without consent.

The app no longer works, yet they will still continue to charge your subscription on a monthly basis. SMS messages aren't being sent and their analytics tool isn't reporting. We've messaged their support several times and they are unresponsive. They wont cancel your subscription either, you will need to reach out to Shopify support to assure they remove the subscription.

The app is not working anymore (not loading). Customer support is not responding. They replied that they were investigating the issue 4 days ago. I wrote them back and did not get any response since then.

I installed this app in the summer of 2021 and it was fantastic for a few months as was customer service with "Joe". By January of 2022 (I was and still am on the $179/mo plan and have purchased thousands of extra credits), the delivery rate plummeted and customer service became sparse. I have BEGGED (via the app and email) to have management call me to discuss the issues with the app not delivering despite the count saying 100% (I signed up as have numerous customers just to test it and RARELY receive the texts). The app "takes credit" for sales after texts go out even when those customers verify they did NOT receive the text and thus, their purchase was not at all thanks to Winback. My emails and messages requesting management contact me to fix errors (and surely offer a massive credit) are to date, almost a year later, unreturned. I am very frustrated with the lack of care for a customer who has spent a decent amount of month and who has begged for help. I do not, in any way, recommend any level of this plan given the entire 2022 performance. I am uninstalling it now as I cannot see groveling for help for another year with most of the 3k customers signed up verifying they RARELY get the texts I send out.

Application has no possibility of configuration. It keeps sending text messages to our POS customers, when we cancel or modify an order at the POS. It should only be concerned with online orders. There is no such thing as an abandoned POS cart!!!
Hi Hickey Freeman, We apologize for any inconvenience that our app may have caused. We understand the importance of differentiating between online and POS orders, and we took your feedback into consideration. The issue has been fixed in an update. We also emailed you an offer of a gift to make things right, and we wanted to let you know that the offer is still available. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
