Hey, there! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with making paragraph breaks when typing a response in the app. You should be able to do this, so we'd like to find out more about what's happening. Please re-install the app, and double check that both your phone and the app aren't due for an update (if they are, please update them). If you're still having trouble with this, please email us at inbox@shopify.com and we can do some further troubleshooting with you. Cheers! - Brie, Shopify Support

I have had this app installed about a month and so far it works good. Notifies me when a customer sends a message and hasn't crashed. So far I have been very happy with it.

The app has been a big help to us so far in terms of liaising with customers and providing quick answers to people without our input. There are a few things needing to be ironed out, but overall we like it a lot and look forward to seeing improvements. A few issues to note:
* Notifications on iPhone never go away, so it always looks like there's a message to respond to (red number on the app icon).
* Syncing between users and devices seems a bit buggy (conversations closed or assigned in one place don't seem to appear that way elsewhere).
* We are getting a lot of spam messages come in via Instagram especially and it would be good to have a way to block or filter them rather than wasting time on them.
* It would be good to be able to style the chat button via CSS more so than we can now.
* Being able to hide the chat button on certain pages more easily would be great.

Hi, there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the app, however I'm sorry to hear about your issues with notifications and syncing between phones. If you'd like to email us at inbox@shopify.com, we'd be happy to help you troubleshoot those.

Regarding blocking spam customers - you are actually able to do this within the app now! You may need to update the app or your device in order for this to show up. Thank you for your feedback about the chat button as well - I'll be sure to pass on those requests to our development team. Cheers! - Brie, Shopify Support

Great app! I would give it 5 stars if they had the functionality that let us review customer cart data like LiveChat offers.

Provides the chat feature we wanted but there is a performance trade off for website speed (67 down to 47). While this isn't impacting end-user experience (pages still delivering in <2s) it is something to be aware of. The ability to assign particular chats to staff is useful in a larger shop than our but a nice feature. Mobile access is another great feature that in our shop we don't fully leverage but it has come in handy more than once.
If it's possible to make it more lightweight I can easily see a higher rating.

Needs customization. Default message asks people if they want info on their order not what I wrote and they haven't ordered. Would like to be able to set time for it to be active

Hello Strasburg Children, thank you for submitting a review and the feedback!

It is possible for iOS users to set availability hours with a custom message for customers chatting in outside of your availability. Here is a link to the help set that up: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/ping/setup#set-your-chat-availability.

The automated order-look up feature is currently not customizable. If a customer does have an order number, it is an easy way for them to look that order up without having to wait while also freeing up your time to work on other areas of your business. This feature can easily be ignored by the customer by simply chatting into the box without the order number.

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 ping@shopify.com.

Kind regards,

Ruby C.

This app is easy and it works. As suggestions for improvement: a) it would be helpful to be able to create folders for organizing chats
b) it would be helpful to have a filter that would let me see chats assigned to others.

This app is really handy for collecting messages from multiple platforms - saves me time and I don't miss as many things. A big improvement would be allowing us to see messages and respond to them from inside our store dashboard without having to click and open so many additional windows.
