2022-10-24 | en | Privacy: Why share Browsing history is now required ? I'm not against it if there is a good reason ? And I've search some explanation without success. | ||
2022-03-23 | Back to using AIB after needing to use Outlook for some contracting, I am over the moon that Andy and the team are still very responsive and the app, as always. works like a bomb. Stable, works 100% with new gmail look - this is still the best gmail add on for GTD, tasks etc. Excited about email again!!! | |||
2017-05-28 | en | once you go Active Inbox you never go back Andy Mitchell was very helpful and went above and beyond to help me in a timely fashion!!!! | ||
2020-07-13 | en | I have been using this extension for years now and it adds some much needed features for dealing with emails and for anyone who does most of their business by email, it is almost a must have in order to keep on top of everything and avoid forgetting to follow up emails or chase people for responses. If more people used something like this, then perhaps I wouldn't be spending so much time constantly chasing people for responses. Sadly this great product is let down by poor support. Ironically the AIB team do not seem to use their own product, as getting responses to emails is like getting a photo of a unicorn. Support is a painful and time consuming process requiring endless chasing of emails, usually over several months and being constantly told "we will get back to you", which of course never happens. I have even had some support issues which have dragged on for years and I eventually just had to give up on them ever being resolved. If it wasn't for the rubbish support, I would be giving 5 starts. | ||
2020-02-13 | en | After using this awesome extension for years, I am very disappointed that it just won't work with the primary account anymore, and it no longer works in Firefox at all. I contacted support and they were supremely unhelpful. | ||
2019-11-29 | en | Absolutely the best! Anyone else can compete. | ||
2019-09-03 | en | Perfect app GTD, and ... nice support!! Even personal reply and support after little minor update bug, thanks ActiveInbox. Now we go back flying :-) | ||
2019-05-25 | en | I was introduced to Active Inbox by a business partner at the end of 2015 and I quickly set up a gmail email to test the system. I am a zero inbox guy and handle external task management out of my email so this hit home for me the 1st week I signed up. Within 60 days of my free trial we switched the entire company to a gmail email platform and introduced Active Inbox to our entire staff. When I explain Active Inbox, I use the same phrase every time "Game Changer". This allows me to place safely all important items that are not going to be really important until a later date and then it is out of my mind until I need to make them a priority. For all of our managers this gives the opportunity to followup with their reports using a measured system of followup. As a small business owner I am not sure in this day and age of email how anyone can operate their email system efficiently & effectively without Active Inbox. If anyone is ever wanting more testimonial personally please feel free to reach out directly. | ||
