I'm not a fan. A lot of functionalities and customisations are missing and I feel like every time I contact support to fix something, it can't be done.

I've been emailing back and forth to get my fonts fixed (it wasn't displaying the correct font on mobile) and to get my custom fonts installed for weeks and my website even froze because of this in the process... The abandoned cart email images are super small and they cut off the text, which just doesn't look good. And they also send the email even if the customer removed the item(s) from the cart, meaning that they get an empty email... Their landing pages are not easy to edit (they use their old software?) and I can't use them because they don't look good/on brand. They have very limited fonts available. These are just some of the things that I'm not happy with and wish I knew about before switching to Privy.

I was really hopeful about this app, but why charge $30/month which includes sending emails?!?!? Sending emails should be standard and included. This app is extremely expensive.

Setup is easy, and everything works as expected. However, with Google cracking down on mobile pop-ups/interstitials lately, I feel like disabling on mobile only should be a basic and therefore free feature... perhaps even the default, since I'm not sure why anyone would want to voluntarily get dinged by Google. I'm not trying to do anything complex or customize further than that. I just want a "disable on mobile" or "only show tab on mobile" option. It appears the only solution currently is to have exit intent-triggered popups on desktop (instead of timed), which never show up on mobile. If I'm wrong or the option to disable on mobile is added in the future, please contact me, and I would be happy to change my review.

I believe my account has been hacked. I am getting many signups that are not requesting them... this is very disturbing that there has not been anything done to fix the issue. I would appreciate if you would take a look to address this issue.

Difficult to use. Contacts not syncing and help desk was not useful. After several attempts my contacts are still not loading correctly and when I attempt to add one it says error.

Sometimes it doesn't go live or it'll only work on a mobile device and not a desktop.

The app kept interrupting me every time I logged in asking me to review it, so here you go.

Privy does what it says it will do, but the customer service is weak. Not impressed with the support at all, have had a couple issues come up none of which have been resolved by the Privy team. They basically give me a common sense reply to do something I've already tried. Privy is essentially one of the best pop up options until something better comes along. Can't stand the fact that I can't integrate my own sending domain...feature doesn't work at all.
