Handy app. It is really annoying though. By default it has a really obnoxious sound that plays when your users visit your site. It has a popup chat message that is automatically enabled that you have to hunt for the setting to disable. It also does not allow you to manage, change or update any settings from inside the Shopfiy Admin area, you have to to to Tawk.to's website to change anything.

App installed just fine and even after I enabled the app in my theme, the app settings just keeps showing me to Configure widget to be shown in store.

Like many have said, the interface is quite clunky. It could definitely use an update. Features are nice, but the Shopify data sync leaves lots to be desired. My biggest gripe (and reason for uninstalling) is their branding is everywhere. Everywhere. It's not a simple, subtle "powered by x" like other providers. No. It boldly advertises its own product and redirects customers away from your site. In the main chat window, for example, there's a huge button right above the text field that is almost impossible not to accidentally click and be redirected to tawk.to. It is extremely unprofessional. Not to mention, not a very classy practice from tawk.to. And honestly, greedy and a waste of resources. Most consumers are not needing a chat app, so there's no point in tawk.to using it's own customers to try and siphon consumers to their site to begin with.

Anyway. I'm uninstalling. It's not worth paying $20 a month just to remove the disrespectful advertising.

Impossible to fault it. Works really well and looks really great.
We were using Zendesk but tawk.to is easily a match for it (much cheaper too) and much easy to integrate in Shopify.

Absolutely awesome. I was told about tawk.to from my brother in law in who has an options research company that absolutely loves it. He said I I had to give it a try on Maniacs.

Basically a perfect solution. Easy install, beautiful chat customization, multiple agents with their own custom profiles. You set up schedules for on and off times... everything really. There's even a great app in the iOS store too that has always worked for me.

We're about a month into using it, and it's been great. Can't say a bad thing about the app or service. It works beautifully.

Awesome App. Seamless integration. Really easy way to engage with new customers and answer their queries, provide reassurance in this Covid challenged world and as an online gift store, provide some of the personal service and interaction normally only available to brick and mortar stores. Love the new knowledge base. Great feature. Keep up the great work.
