I installed the app from the app store, just to write a review. I've been using Tawk.to for a while with the manual code in my theme.

If you're looking for an excellent way to grab your customer's attention, install Tawk.to. Not only does Tawk.to have a few features that most chatters don't have (like live preview of what the customer is typing and business hours scheduling), they also have great support.

Well worth the free pricetag.

WILL HAVE TO UNINSTALL. What's the point in having this app when Users can't type in their message in the message box? Another star knocked off because now you can't even type in your message in the message of the widget. The widget is unscrollable and the message box is hidden by the mobile keypad. I emailed Support and never heard back.

UPDATE: Dec. 24, 2016
After I uninstalled this app and set my website to go live, I got a chat message with IP address located in "Latvia", Person from tawk.to wrote "YOU'RE A DOUCHEBAG".

If you go to their website, all of their job openings are located in "LATVIA".

My review on here was to help you guys make a better Chat widget because everyone is migrating to your competitor TIDIO. But instead I got a harassment message.

3rd UPDATE Dec. 24, 2016:
Five minutes I updated my review, I got another chat saying "YOU'RE ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED"....Proof

I saw this app on a review page. I was curious but skeptical because it's free. But I'm blown away by how awesome this app is, especially for someone like me who is just starting. This app gives you all the features you need for free! Other apps would make you pay a huge fee just for basic features. One of my favorite features is the free Knowledge Base page. There is a paid version that gets rid of branding and gives you other features. But I honestly like the branding; it lets people know what superb chat service I'm using. Once I have a steady profit, I'm gonna support this business and get the paid version. Thank you for making an excellent program!

As always the truly and only free live chat widget for websites. Works great, the only problem is that sometimes your showing as being off line when your really not, not sure why it does that.

Overall 5 stars

Hi Wirelesshub,

Thank you for choosing tawk.to and for sharing your challenge here.

Here are two reasons your widget may have been been set to Offline:

1. Your Scheduler is active.

The Scheduler allows you to manage the operating days and times of the widget. If you have scheduled your widget for the hours of 9 AM - 5 PM and the clock hits 5PM, even if you are logged in (online), the widget is forced to go offline. However, any conversations in progress will be allowed to continue.

2. You are not logged in to your Dashboard.

If there's no Agent logged in to the Dashboard (desktop or mobile app), the widget will still be offline.

To learn more about Scheduler, visit this link: https://help.tawk.to/article/using-the-widget-scheduler

I use this app for all my voice chat on all of my shopify stores. I have tested many others and this is by far the best. Great value and great app. Very happy.

Great at first. It was free for me and easy to customize. The problem is the site doesn't notify me anymore when a chat comes through. I've missed several chats because it failed to notify me.

Hi Siloe,

Thank you for choosing tawk.to and for sharing your challenge here.

The tawk.to widget does not load until after your website is fully loaded. As a result, your page load speed will not be affected by having a tawk.to widget on your site.

Any testing tools for page speed will not include your widget loading time in the results. After your web page loads, the request to load your widget is made.

These are some common causes of slow web page loading:

Slow or interrupted internet connection
Browser or operating system updates needed
Multiple redirects
Conflicting browser extensions (check for ad blockers and site blockers)
Malware
Hardware/storage limitations
Background apps

We use an HTTP2 protocol to ensure faster page loading. Unlike HTTP/1, HTTP/2 uses multiplexing to handle multiple requests to the server simultaneously, cutting load time significantly.

I hope this addresses your concern.

We have a 24/7 support line you can contact for urgent matters. Our live agents are always available to assist you.
