Convo is great in theory, but terrible in reality. Imagine having an infinite feed with no real way to prioritize messages or way to track them for follow up. Then add in a buggy interface that has erratic and unpredictable responsiveness to clicking on the “more” and “like” options. Finally, your messages may or may not send, and sometimes send 3 or 4 times. Now imagine all your internal conversations are on there. People ask questions and share important materials. But, due to the lack of ability to really curate anything important, it gets lost in the feed. Finally imagine an annoying notification system that is maybe the only way to determine what you should focus on, but that the notifications rarely clear themselves. What you end up with is a junk feed of gifs and likes. And a feed where the same question or issue from a team member reappears or resurfaces every 2 or 3 weeks. I would never recommend this to a company that actually wants to get work done and share knowledge.

When I signed my little team up for this group chat app, It was free for small groups up to 15. Today my desktop screen says whoopsie you’ve exceeded your free account requirements. Well we haven’t done anything different. You’ve changed something and now it’s only free if you have 5 users. You now want $10/month per user. My very small business team of 6 would have to pay $60/month. Ugh, no thank you. 😭 First of all five is too small of a group for most people to try it and $10/mo per user is too much $ for what you offer. Sorry but you lost me at Whoopsie. We were willing to use the free version with all the restrictions because we really just need to share text messages and small docs and maybe a video or screen shot every now and then. It’s really no different than a Facebook group or conversations in Asana. So there I will go. FOR FREE.
