Your business doesn't stop when you close your laptop. Text puts you in the moment a customer needs you, wherever you are, even on a weak connection. That starts with what's already in your pocket: - Customer details - Incoming message sneak peek & ready-to-go responses - Multi-channel support - File sharing - In-app and push notifications - Agent list with editable profiles And here's what you can do with it: 1. Solve customer problems in a flash See what customers are typing before the message is sent. Answer repetitive questions with ready-to-go responses, and keep customers happy without making them wait. 2. Support smarter, not harder Automated greetings recommend products and engage customers based on what they're doing on your site. Chats route themselves to the right team, so nothing sits in the wrong queue. 3. Catch the cart before it's abandoned See what a customer's adding to their cart right now, plus their full order history. Step in and close the sale before they leave, all from your phone. 4. Solve tickets anytime, anywhere Manage complex cases inside your Android app with the built-in ticketing system. Reassign tickets between groups and find status in seconds. 5. Close more sales Engage prospective customers while they're still on your site. Reach a new lead the moment it lands, call or message straight from the app. 6. Support more, without adding headcount Offer support to several visitors at once, and reply faster, keeping satisfaction high even as you grow. Install Text on your mobile and stay close to the business in minutes. Support customers, catch a sale, or jump into a chat, wherever you are.

Annoying Ad for Paid Members
Oct 5

The dashboard now contains a large “LiveChat is now Text” promotional panel that I do not appear to be able to dismiss. As a paying LiveChat Team customer, I find this unnecessarily intrusive. I understand promoting the new Text product, but I should be able to close or permanently dismiss that message after I have seen it.

Thank you for your feedback. The banner was introduced to inform users about the recent change and will be removed in the upcoming release.

Terrible ExperienceTerrible Experience – Waste of Money!

We deeply regret purchasing a one-year subscription to this app. It has been nothing but a disaster! The user experience is awful, and contacting customer support only made things worse. It’s clear that the issues stem from the app’s poor system design, but the support team refuses to acknowledge this and instead keeps blaming the problem on our network.  For instance, we repeatedly experienced message delays or even lost messages, which seriously disrupted our workflow. When we reached out to Live Chat support, they didn’t take the issue seriously and just kept insisting that the problem was due to our internet connection. However, our network works perfectly fine with other apps, so it’s obviously an issue with their system.  As paying customers, we expected proper solutions, not dismissive responses and meaningless excuses. Live Chat’s attitude and poor-quality app completely failed to meet even the most basic expectations. This app is absolutely not worth the price, let alone a long-term subscription!  Save your time and money – avoid this trash app at all costs!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience — that’s not the experience we strive to deliver. We’d like to better understand the issues you encountered. Could you let us know whether you were using the mobile or desktop version of the app? Your feedback is valuable, and we’re working hard to improve both the product and support experience.

Open Ticket from Email does not work
12/21/2023

This is infuriating. I get a status update on a ticket email and I click the “Open Ticket” link. It opens the browser and of course the url doesn’t include any auth provider hints like “hey, this guy signs in with Microsoft” so I have to click Sign In with Microsoft. And of course it doesn’t include the login_hint parameter or otherwise the logon=prompt parameter which would instruct my browser to suggest Microsoft accounts my device is already signed in with, so I have to enter my credentials manually like a barbarian. Finally, once the auth flow complete with MFA is completed I’m dropped into the chat area of the app instead of the ticket because the devs couldn’t be bothered to maintain the redirect path in the state query param. It’s a nightmare. We’re switching to Hubspot. Their app does not have these auth problems.

Consistently Getting Worse

The old app was perfect, this “lite” version is more unusable with every update.The most basic functions are broken. When you get a chat and you tap the text box to start typing, the entire screen shifts up, hiding everything except the bottom pixel rows of the screen, as if the chat has just ended. You then have to quit the app and re-open it just to access a chat.When using a paired bluetooth keyboard, pressing “enter” does not submit your message. You are forced to manually tap the blue arrow send button with a finger to send messages. Why? This is a chat app, people use physical keyboards. Why is there only light mode and no dark? Why is it so hard to create a ticket for a chat, or to see which agents are online, to view customer visited webpages? I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that this app is bad, the devs flood the reviews with fake positives, and they reply to any negative review with platitudes while changing nothing. You make my job infinitely harder, to the point where I just use the desktop site (which annoyingly tells me constantly to use the broken app)

Hello,We are still working to make the new app even more intuitive than the old app, it would be great if you would like to work with us a bit closer on this. Please contact me on m.swierczak@livechat.com, I would really like to help you with the notifications issues too!
