### 1/5 — App does not work with iOS 13

*2019-10-24, version 3.3.8*

Is there any update to support iOS 13?

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2019-10-16, version 3.3.8*

Terrible app. I have to use the website on my phone since this app became useless. Really awful

### 1/5 — Update to iOS 13 no longer works

*2019-10-15, version 3.3.8*

App worked great until iOS 13. Now opening folders freezes the app.

### 1/5 — Freezes since new os update

*2019-10-12, version 3.3.8*

Since the latest os update it will not let you view tickets.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2019-10-08, version 3.3.8*

iOS 13 Kayako will crash can’t view tickets.  Bummer too.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2019-10-02, version 3.3.8*

If there were negative stars available, I would rate this app as such.

### 1/5 — Unusable under iOS 13

*2019-09-28, version 3.3.8*

As others have mentioned the app crashes during attempt to view tickets list

### 1/5 — Freezes when trying to view tickets

*2019-09-25, version 3.3.8*

Freezes every time I try to open ticket. IPhone 10 with OS 13-1. 
Barely seen red bar seems to indicate downloading but it stops at about 1/3 and totally freezes. New phone.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time ...

*2019-09-22, version 3.3.8*

Not supported in iOS 13
This app crashes constantly or just locks up. 
Macros fail to load often.  
Cannot search macros. 
Could not access knowledge base in app

The app has potential but has a long long way to go.

Very very disappointed

### 1/5 — Not very convenient

*2019-06-26, version 3.3.8*

Can’t search using ticket ID plus it crashes

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time.

*2017-10-10, version 3.3.5*

If you can keep this app from crashing, it is still nearly useless. Nothing but bugs. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Needs SSL

*2016-10-31, version 3.3.1*

New version needs SSL to work

### 1/5 — Can't login

*2016-07-01, version 3.3.0*

It is not possible to paste username or  password in the field. Also text is aligned to the right in these fields and you can't switch manually between them on the latest iOS.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2016-06-17, version 3.3.0*

The app crashes as soon as I try to go to my inbox or anywhere... Horrible, no updates in a looooong time.

### 1/5 — A full year and not one update

*2016-05-19, version 3.3.0*

One year and they couldn't fix one issue. It used to work with multiple help desks, they removed that. It crashes constantly, they left that in.  Don't expect to much from this app!

### 1/5 — Crash City

*2023-01-19, version 3.5.5*

crashes consistently. Cant even open a ticket without it crashing a million times.

### 1/5 — Still doesn’t work

*2020-01-25, version 3.4*

App will not even load on an iPad iOS 13.3

App doesn’t work on the iPhone iOS 13.3
Cannot delete tickets
Tickets show all the html coding making them almost impossible to read.

### 1/5 — Still not working

*2020-01-16, version 3.4*

Still won’t work. Says it can’t find my server via http.  Have the address correct (I’ve been using Kayako for many years). Would love to use this app again. Please help.

### 1/5 — New update doesn’t work for dark mode

*2020-01-11, version 3.4*

New update for iOS 13 doesn’t work with dark mode. Can’t see any text.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2019-12-11, version 3.3.8*

Crashes on iOS 13. Completely useless.

### 1/5 — App unusable for months

*2019-12-10, version 3.3.8*

Kayako has been unable to provide a working app since IOS 13 came out. 

App locks up and is unusable.

Contacted them and repeatedly mention “a fix is coming” but no updates in over a year.

Our company is looking at alternative ticketing solutions, as it’s difficult to support our customers without a working app.

### 1/5 — Crashes on iOS 13.2.3 iPhone 11

*2019-12-05, version 3.3.8*

For the initial login the app pre-populates the URL field with https:// at the extreme right of the field. It then places the cursor to the left of the text so you need to get the cursor to the right of the / at the narrow edge of the field. Minor annoyance.

When the user name field is presented, the iOS password keychain is offered but does not auto fill when a credential is selected. If incorrect credentials are entered you’ll need to hit the back button to try again, as the fields become inaccessible.

Hooray! You now see the support folders of your up to date install of Kayako Classic. Pick a folder, any folder, even one with under 10 tickets - BOOM! App abruptly closes.

My device is a brand new iPhone 11. I clean installed everything - no restore from a prior backup.

Kayako Classic is a good support solution which I do recommend. This app is in need of some attention. It did work on my recently retired iPhone 7 - also on a recent iOS 13.

### 1/5 — Not working with iPhone iOS 13.1.2

*2019-11-07, version 3.3.8*

I have iPhone 11 pro iOS  software 13.1.2 
Application is frozen
Will not open to see tickets.
When are you going to update this App so it will work?? 😒

### 1/5 — Crashes. Unusable.

*2019-10-25, version 3.3.8*

Freezes and crashes when you open it now. Needs update.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2019-10-24, version 3.3.8*

Useless since iOS 13.

### 5/5 — Crashes Fixed! Thanks Team Kayako

*2020-02-12, version 3.5.2*

Thanks for fixing this old app to work with iOS 13 and older unsupported versions of Kayako. Goes to show your commitment to your legacy customers. 

Much appreciated.

### 5/5 — Thank You

*2016-11-02, version 3.3.2*

Thank you for being so quick in resolving the issues. Now we are back to the great functionality!

### 4/5 — Love the app

*2014-05-07, version 1.0.4*

Waited for this and its a good first release - those who complain should reg as developer and build a better one.  Does what it needs to - gave feedback on possible improvements but works great on my iphone!

### 3/5 — It’s alright, needs work

*2021-03-09, version 3.5.2*

So the company I’m at is using Kayako/GFI Helpdesk and this app works fine. HTML doesn’t seem to work in the app even though we have it enabled in our helpdesk. Otherwise this app is great when you’re not at your desk and need to quickly check your tickets or open a ticket desk side really fast. I wish more features were available like being able to look up KB articles.

### 3/5 — Good basic function but one big bug

*2015-07-30, version 3.3.0*

I think Kayako is a great Helpdesk system. The mobile app is a needed component and for the most part well done. The interface is clean and simple to use! The big issue for us is there seems to be a bug in the billing section. We can post notes but if you try and add time the app crashes. Not being able to have my techs add time while in the field is a big draw back. With that said I'm sure the guys at Kayako will get that fixed and hopefully continue to add more to the system. A scheduling component would be amazing (just saying)!

### 3/5 — Missing major features

*2014-11-06, version 3.0.1*

I have one big beef that even after the many updates (which have continued to improve the app), I still can't believe we are missing them.

Especially for someone who emails our helpdesk, the app doesn't show their email address which so many systems use in order to locate the user account so I can't actually help them unless I go in via a browser to pull the address. Isn't that besides the point?

Second, not as important but would be nice is to set custom notifications. I'd like to get pushes maybe for tickets I own in certain departments or if there is a spike (I set the threshold) of ticket submissions in a certain department so if I'm working on something else or its a weekend, I can easily see that something is likely wrong and go check on it.

### 2/5 — Crashes constantly

*2017-04-18, version 3.3.3*

After the last update earlier this month the app is constantly crashing whenever you try to view the details of a ticket.

### 2/5 — Ok, changes all department headings

*2014-05-23, version 1.0.4*

If you run multiple departments with similiar names in each it will not keep them organized. I.E we have 4 accounting departments under different groups but they are all listed in alphabetical order so all four are together.
