### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-04, version 3.13.4*

I’ll get the notification but the app won’t open to the chat. It’s always busy/thinking

### 4/5 — How to fix

*2025-06-06, version 3.13.4*

I was contacted by tech support. I made sure my phone was fully updated. I deleted the Drift app, I restarted my phone and then redownloaded the Drift app. I signed in and it works great again.

### 1/5 — It's a great program but…

*2025-04-09, version 3.13.3*

Stopped working a few months ago. Now I can’t load conversations after getting the alert. Please fix this!

### 2/5 — Can't login reCAPTCHA ERROR

*2025-02-14, version 3.13.1*

Invalid site key error on the app

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THIS

*2025-01-22, version 3.13.1*

Yall. Please fix your app. Everyone is having the same issues. Yall used to be an incredible company- the best company to use for chat box on websites. I can see notifications but can’t see what they say- it just keeps spinning and spinning. My convos dont load and it looks like everyone else is having this problem. What happened to this company?

UPDATE- I left a review in JANUARY of 2024 about how their app is not working!!! It is now January 2025 and it is STILL not fixed!!! I’ve used Drift since 2020 and NO ONE has responded to me. They do not care about their customers who have been with them for FIVE YEARS. Cancelling now! I’m DONE.

### 1/5 — So Frustrated

*2024-12-19, version 3.13.1*

I don’t understand why I am not getting notifications in real time. It is so frustrating. All my notifications are turned on. Please help me fix this  as I need to service my inquiries immediately when they come in and you all never respond or help me get this sorted. Can you please help me. I never see the notifications until I check my e mail and then it’s too late
