Winback: SMS Marketing
All reviews
No longer works :( And crickets from the support team
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.
Great experience with the platform and use. Happy there’s alternatives out there for sms. So far the support has been amazing
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.

Apologies again for the inconvenience, and I hope we can make things right for you soon. Best regards, Gabriel Zampieri Marketing Manager, Winback
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.
App has gotten better. Receiving help from new manager is great. He does a great job of reaching out to the customers, guiding how to use the app to the best of the businesses capability. I'd recommend.

The app is helpful, but the customer service is really really bad, the one Named "Joe" never helped anyting, yes, you sent an email to him, the first time he replied, and then if you asked for some help, they never reply. you have to contacted them time and time, he should be fired right now!! this waster so much time. report you, if i find a better SMS app, i won't use this right away

I am extremely happy to recommend this app. It has already generated over $2,000 in extra revenue!
Thanks! Hopefully this is just the beginning of your extra revenue. We will keep pushing for more!
Very easy to use and effective app. The developers are quick to reply and are willing to help however they can!
Thank you! We love your products and are excited to help you scale. - Joe
This staff is amazing. I am not really tech savvy but this time has already helped me out significantly. I have noticed a huge difference since I have downloaded this app. I highly recommend them.
We see major potential in your store and products. I'm pumped to really scale this store with you!
This app is amazing for winning back customers, gathering reviews, and sending out SMS campaigns. Joe is great help, sending custom videos of suggestions to help bring back more customers and increasing sales. Would definitely recommend this app.
Thanks Ari, you have been great to work with too! We love watching our stores grow with us. Nothing beats the ROI of SMS, nothing!
(READ 2024 UPDATE BELOW) Amazing App! Definitely going to be investing more in this app than emails. I am a small biz and since September I've made over $7,000 (close to $8,000!) in reclaimed sales from this app alone! Easy to send campaigns and respond directly to your customers concerns. Sent a recent campaign to customers who never purchased before and the return has been AMAZING! Joe is quick to respond to any questions and even hop on a fast zoom call full of advice! If you're looking for an app to text - LOOK NO FURTHER. Seriously the best investment that has paid for itself a thousand times over by now. Thanks Winback & Joe! 2024 UPDATE: HORRIBLE! DO NOT use this service do not expect any assistance with help. For the holiday season my SMS sent to only HALF of my subscribers costing me thousands in sales. They kept telling me they were looking into it and it was fixed and each time was the same issue. This went on for 4 months, I requested reimbursement for 3 months, should have been 4 since I didn't use an entire month, and they keep saying they are escalting the issues and that they have fixed them but it still only would send to half my subscribers. The interesting part was they were saying it was a carrier update- I have my personal number on the subscriber list, out of 4 campaigns my number had a SMS delivered one time- the second one, so if it was a carrier update it should never be delivered to my number. This leads me to believe it was an internal issue. They do not reply anymore and they do not assist. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!!!!

Being in the UK, the SMS rates are higher than US. But this app has the lowest rates we found for the UK (cheaper than smsbump and postscript). We only use it for abandoned checkouts because of the UK costs. But it's still a very good ROI, getting us 60+ sales per month. It's simple and it works. And you just set it and forget it.
Hi MADEBYSUNDAY.COM, Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our app, especially regarding our competitive SMS rates for the UK market. We're glad to hear that our simple, effective solution has been providing a good ROI for your business. If you ever need assistance or have questions, don't hesitate to get in touch. Best wishes, Gabriel
