Keen Advisor

As an active advisor, my experience with Keen has been deeply frustrating due to what I feel are misaligned priorities. I felt dismissed by support; after they refused to remove an unfair review that I believed crossed professional boundaries, they asked me if I could post positive feedback for Keen on Trustpilot. This felt insulting when my own reputation on their platform was not being protected. In my daily work, I have found the blocking limits to be stifling, as they do not provide me with the level of control I need to feel comfortable managing difficult callers. I also face penalties for disconnecting from 'one-minute' readings, despite my profiles terms clearly stating how that wouldn’t be the right fit. That’s not a reasonable time frame especially for what’s being asked and the rudeness and back to back one minute calls. This creates a stressful environment where system metrics seem to matter more than advisor well-being. Technically, the platform feels outdated. The app lacks essential features like messaging and review visibility. Also, experienced what appear to be payment delays and fees that I do not see on other advisor platforms. Overall, I feel like an interchangeable part of a system that ignores feedback, and I urge Keen to earn positive reviews by providing better support to the advisors who keep the site running.

This app is CONSTANTLY dropping chats- or saying sent, delivered, and not read. Unless I’m directly on my computer it makes it really hard to work on the go sometimes. As a result, I find myself having to send out three minutes to clients regularly just to make up for the glitches that is continually happening on the platform and I don’t know what else to do. I have emailed tech support. And now as of tonight, it’s creating a lot of problems with clients trying to call in. Please update this app, it seems like it needs a tune up.

...and the convenience of it all. Knowing that this app is still new and will be upgraded makes me excited about where this app is headed. If I could suggest something to added: a ping for every new message as the conversation is happening. There should be a setting to turn it off for those who don’t want the ping, but as someone who is always on their phone, I sometimes look away from the conversation and always have to look back to see if my client replied. Or I get slightly distracted by outside noises and constantly have to look back and forth. If there was ping in the conversation it would be easier for me to know when I’ve been replied to and not make me so anxious that I have to keep my eyes glued to the phone for 10-20 minutes.
