Same features and price. our company has really enjoyed using Zipwhip. all the other companies suggested are over the top. We just want intregation and text. Please help! ### 1/5 — Not reliable *2022-07-14, version 2.86.04* This is the least-favorite of my must-have apps, the only one that connects with my Frontier work landline. You would think a communications company would use an app that communicates well - this one does NOT. Texts often won’t send whether there’s a strong WiFi signal or using my data. The laptop version works ok (though ugly to look at) but the iPhone app is terribly unreliable. I often have to wait 10 to 15 seconds to see if the message sent, often to be told it didn’t. I have found one work around that works maybe 90% of the time - taking a screenshot of the message that won’t send and then sending that. Looks odd to the receiver of the text no doubt but it saves me from sending an email which would totally disrupt the conversation flow. I am hoping they continue to work on improvements to this….I dread using it. ### 1/5 — Setup *2022-01-09, version 2.86.02* I downloaded this app a couple of months ago and still was unable to login. No support ### 5/5 — Love the app *2021-11-13, version 2.86.00* It does well for me and my team. We us it on the desktop and use the app on the phone. Also does group text that is great! Text show up as the company phone number. So now my team can now call or text the same number. Great for what we need ### 4/5 — Be nice to place calls too *2021-07-02, version 2.84.08* When I text, it uses my work phone as the contact. It would be nice when I’m away from the office to also be able to place calls through the app so the caller ID still shows my office number calling rather than having to use my cell number. ### 1/5 — Nasty customer service *2021-02-09, version 2.84.02* When emailing them with an issue after 2 years of being with them and they got the feeling that I’m seriously considering leaving, their nasty response showed their unprofessional and real face. There are so many better companies with this service out there. Stay away! ### 3/5 — A search feature is needed *2020-12-25, version 2.83.03* A basic search function—where you can type a word/phrase and find any message containing it—would be amazing. Also would be useful to have a more noticeable notification tone...we use this as an on-call number and the notification is so quick and quiet it won’t wake up the person who is on call if they get a message at night. ### 1/5 — Not working! *2020-12-18, version 2.83.03* Logged my entire team out, and now doesn’t recognize our usernames to get back in! What’s up, zipwhip?? ### 2/5 — Service good. App bad. *2020-08-12, version 2.79.10* The program itself is pretty good. But the app is not. It doesn’t load the most recent messages easily and now it has a ton of notification issues. The app also doesn’t allow for most of the same features as its desktop counterpart. Overall the service itself is great but the app is not. ### 4/5 — Great in theory.. *2020-08-08, version 2.79.10* Zipwhip is a lifesaver, it the app could use some polishing for sure. Sorting all the unread texts to the top as an option would be a good start. I’m committed, it keep working it. ## Frequently asked questions about Zipwhip Text Messaging ### What does Zipwhip do?
