The main reason I signed up for HelpScout was to consolidate ticketing and web chat into one. Seemed promising. But the very basic functionality of an app not having ANY notifications whatsoever when someone starts a chat or send a ticket, is a showstopper for me. Mobility is key, and if I have to sit in front of a computer to get notified of incoming requests because the app doesn't work, well, there are plenty of options out there I'll say that much. Unfortunate, very promising, but missed.

Hi Jon, thanks for the review. While we don't have chat available in our app at all currently it's something we are exploring for a future update. In terms of general email notifications you can receive those for specific events and are set in the web-app for Help Scout under your profile. Drop us an email if you have any other questions, Jon!

When using the Helpscout app on an iPad it has two columns and it's optimised to use for the bigger display, but on android its just a stretched out smartphone app with very limited functionality. Will the Android app get two columns too or is iOS more important to the developers?

Terrible app, very buggy. Most of the time you tap on an Android notification it takes you to a blank white screen or says there is a mailbox error. Half the time if I actually get to the conversation I try to reply I get the same mailbox error. New version is no better. Always has mailbox member ID errors

Hi Dean, we worked on a bunch of fixes for v2.1.1. Please let us know if you are still experiencing push notification issues so we can work on them. Thanks for your feedback!
