Hatch - Messaging Platform 4+

The Hatch app has a clean, easy-to-read UI and is very fast and responsive, which is a plus. However, it’s seriously lacking in functionality. The only thing you can do is see and respond to messages—there’s no real way to manage or organize them.

Messages read on the website still show as unread in the app, meaning I would have had to manually mark thousands of messages as read when I first downloaded it. Also, while messages show a date, there’s no time stamp, which makes it difficult to tell if a message came in during or after business hours. If I miss a push notification and later check the app, I have no way of knowing if the message just came in after hours (making it appropriate to respond) or if it arrived earlier in the day and I just didn’t see it until now (in which case, I’d want to wait until business hours to reply).

There’s no way to mark messages as read easily, move them to different stages, or get a broader view of conversations. If these features exist, they aren’t intuitive. Right now, the app feels incomplete, but its speed and clean design are a step in the right direction. Hoping for future updates with more functionality!

Very buggy with limited functionality. Tried reloading, no improvement. Help page is nonfunctional as well.

This app has SO much potential to capture leads while in the go, but it lacks the connection between the website and the app itself. My notifications currently say 31 on the App while my Desktop Notifications are cleared. Adding the columns similar to the web would be very beneficial as well.
