I first got the app and thought, "this is good." Because it was. BUT, stop taking my money bro. It makes it hard enough running a business with only so little cash. I can't burn It on a loyalty program. I would appreciate either lowering your costs or giving more benefits to people. But all in all not bad.

Je recommande vraiment cette application pour commencer votre programme de fidélité sur Shopify. Petit bémol pour notre prochaine migration avec Brevo, pas prise en compte (seul Mailchimp) dommage.

It would be nice to have more option on nudges for customers to redeem points at checkout without having to upgrade plans.

Great app for having an intuitive and efficient loyalty and referral program. I’ve been using it for years. The customer service is very responsive. However, the price is very high, in my opinion, and I’m frustrated that I can’t access all the features (notably the one to redeem points at checkout) in French. For now, it’s only available in English…

I'm new to the app but it has been good so far. Shelby was extremely helpful today and gave me a solution to my problem almost immediately. Great job by her today.

Easy to set up and use. The main drawback is that the sign-up for rewards requires a separate process from the standard account sign-up on Shopify. It would be much better if the regular account sign-up page included a checkbox for rewards, allowing for a single, unified sign-up process.

Online support is great, still getting head around the app and how to make it worth our customers while as well as creating ease of use for staff.

Trying to figure out why some of my customers are not able to pull up their reward points to redeem them on their phones. Kind of sounds like a glitch. We are currently working on the situation and customer service has been as helpful as they can be, just still trying to get the problem resolved.

The app is pretty good, but twice a year I look at other review apps to see if i can reduce my monthly costs. Its nearly the same as Klaviyo email system but does not have the same functionality. We have had the app for ages and there doesnt seem to be any more obvious innovation. But hey the devil ya know..... The support team is awesome, responsive, i guess thats what i am paying for?

Great app and quick support. I think it is missing analytics about the emails being sent to customers.

Customer service has been great! The few times we've had questions, Lisa has come to our aid within just a few hours, not only with answers, but also with screen-shots, and even embedded video/GIF that make it very easy to understand! Explanations have been simple and complete, making sure that we fully understand the solution. Thanks for the great customer service! :)

The app is easy to navigate, you can tailor it to best suit your website, but some portion you won't be able to which is fine with me. But with their customer service is quick and helpful. Shelby has help me navigate and find out why my customer wasn't getting her point and I was able to adjust it and explain to my customer the reason why. I would recommend for others who want to start on loyalty program on their website.

If I was just reviewing the customer service and troubleshooting/help I just received from Shelby then it would be 10* (seriously, I can't express how grateful I am for her help because without it I would have given up and just taken the hit and removed Smile.io completely rather than deal with the tech issue!), however it seems like I'm reviewing the whole app and my experience so far is that if you're not amazingly tech-savvy (I'm reasonably adept) then it takes a while to get your head around the intricacies. Overall, fantastic support and I have very little to complain about considering that I'm currently using the free plan which gives a great 'basic' offering plus unfaultable customer service. I'm looking forward to understanding Smile.io more and hopefully it won't be long until we're able to upgrade to the better paid plans. (Thank you again, Shelby. You're a star!)
