Winback: SMS Marketing

DIDNT WORK

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.

No longer works :( And crickets from the support team

The app is not working anymore (not loading). Customer support is not responding. They replied that they were investigating the issue 4 days ago. I wrote them back and did not get any response since then.

This used to be an excellent app and I used it for several years successfully, but around March 2022 it completely changed, the dashboard changed, I stopped receiving notifications when customers replied to messages, so they ended up being unreplied to. Chat support replies also weren't sent to my email so I didn't know when support had replied. Something has become seriously broken with this app and I can no longer recommend it. Too bad as it was very effective before it was changed.

if I can give zero star i will. 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

Seems they are no longer in business and offer no support anymore, I was a customer for 2 years and now I just get a 504 error when entering the app. Such a shame because this app generated over $500k in revenue for me :(

(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!!!!

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.

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!!!
