Reviews & Comments of Mixmax for Google Chrome chrome extension

I used to receive very fast and helpful customer support, and the extension used to work well for my purposes. Now, the sequence feature no longer works for "send mail as" / aliases. It is supposed to work but doesn't in spite of days of attempted troubleshooting and contact with customer support. In addition, they also got rid of the feature in the Small Business Account where you can track opens/clicks in sequences when sending from an alias. I never saw a notice that the feature was changing and had to figure it out when my sequences were having problems, and everything bouncing. The extension has gotten very buggy, and for my last customer support help request, it took an extremely long time for someone to even write me back, and that person did not know how to fix the problem...so in spite of multiple back and forth emails, I still did not get a solution. I suspect that some of the bugs have to do with Google's security changes. However, since this is a Google extension, there needs to be a solution.

Have been using mixmax and its extension for a while! work well, perhaps could connect quicker sometimes but definitely great tool and with a good extension!

Why isn't this easier to find? Spent 3 hours searching for an extension that does what this does.

Great application, helped me a lot to organize email sequences and keeping track of emails and follow ups. Highly recommend!

Awesome product! Totally worth it, changed how I email, sell, and communicate!!

Looks like it could be quite good ... If it actually worked. Not working for me on brave browser. Lets me get to some settings/dashboard page but that's all. I can't see any calendar page, email page, nothing visible when in gmail. Nothing. Shame as it shows promise.

Mixmax rules! It's eliminated all the back and forth in setting up meetings as I can just pop my schedule directly into emails. It's a great tracking an communications tool.

BEWARE - The app is disingenuous about deactivation and has destroyed all user trust for me. I liked this app when I used it, but I decided I didn't want to use it anymore. I clicked an option in their app that say "Deactivate MixMax for [email protected]." You would think that would be the end of it, but no.... On a weekly basis I get asked to reinstall it before sending emails. I've deactivated it three or four times now and keep getting asked to reinstall it.

Very Useful

Amazing all-around tool for email. It helped and increased the productivity of my team as it allowed us to set templates, reminders, tracking, and automation. The tracking and template tools were especially useful. We were able to try different versions of our emails and optimize the templates to increase our engagement level with our customers.

Mixmax has been extremely helpful in terms of increasing productivity. I am able to reach out to more people and get more responses.

Great extension with some hard-to-find features like scheduled emails and embedded web link previews (things gmail ought to have). Most reviews on here are a year old, so here's a current one (well, for now). I've used the MixMax free plan for 2 years, primarily for a side business; my email volume isn't very high so the free tier works great. My favorite feature, email scheduling is easy to use and reliable (I've never had one fail). If you're unsure why you'd need it, here are a few reasons: (1) email written the day before but sent automatically first thing in the morning helps ensure it will be at the top of the recipient's inbox, (2) clients don't see an odd-hours timestamp on the email, or (3) schedule an email as a reminder for a meeting or appointment or to provide agenda beforehand. There is a mixmax 'signature' added to the email, but you can remove it manually--just click on the link it adds in your email, and then click the "I'm not tired of clicking" pop-up that opens...simple, especially for low-volume use. Web page preview/snapshots embedded in the email are also a nice feature; you do get a mixmax tag on that as well, but it's not horribly intrusive and I don't mind the minor advertising for something I use for free. There are many other features, not all of which I have a need for, but I've tested them and they work great. My only complaint is the interface could be more user-friendly and logically designed; granted there is always a learning curve and you have to get used to their layout and workflow, but I think this could be refined for easier use. Along with that, it'd be nice if they embedded a tutorial for new users to walk them through features and use cases. Honestly though, those are minor gripes for an extension that adds fantastic utility, for FREE! I've yet to see another service offer the same quality service as MixMax.

Mixmax is AMAZING! The templates and tracking capabilities are priceless! I do MANY email campaigns in my position and since it easily integrates with Gmail, it makes my job much easier! Thank you, Mixmax!

Without a doubt, one of the best products I've ever used.

AMAZING PRODUCT!! Definitely worth every penny

As another reviewer, Trevor Beck, posted, "I've seemed to have lost the ability to forward a page through MixMax. Used to be one click on the icon would forward the page, 2 clicks would open a blank email" I am having the same problem. I contacted support quite a while ago and they said they would let me know when the issue is resolved. This greatly diminishes the usefulness of MixMax for me.

It is working great. I would love to see the open count directly within the email webpage without having to open the live feed page.

Mixmax, a very resourceful APP but my emails doesn't deliver on time. i had sent several emails but very slow in delivering. I don't no if you guys are trying to protect your IP Reputation or the mails are been sent through Gmail. Thank you and God bless.

REALLY liked this extension and used it all the time...Then it developed a conflict with another extension (worked for over a year) ...Support was horrible, they said they could help and then disappeared during the process twice. AND I paid for this extension, so I am out some $$, but I really just wanted it to work (like it did for so long).

Mixmax is awesome. It's super useful for organization and general productivity. It's great for following up with others too.

It messed up all the formatting on my gmail. Couldn't send or respond to emails properly as it kept popping up over key gmail features I needed to use (like forward/reply buttons!). Made everything much more complicated and painful

It's great. But why my send email appear in inbox. It should be in send box. I'll check send box when needed

It works as a tracking tool and it works as a communications tool. After a prospect opens my email. I can send them a communications, a "touching base" and see if they would like to follow up.

The free version looked good until I realized that it will add "Sent with Mixmax" to my signature. It's not worth the $18 USD per month for two users in order to remove this, so it looks like I'll need to find a different option.

Yup. Great functionality But it grinds G-mail to a halt, it does not work well with other G-mail Chrome extensions and in order to remove the MixMax branding you need to upgrade to $65 per user per month which is completely and utterly ridiculous.

perfect!

Super useful, especially for college students or professionals. Very easy to use, and can't imagine what it was like without it!

Best Chrome Extension I've ever installed. Cannot imagine living without it and never send emails from my phone anymore—Mixmax helps me be far more productive and efficient.

I love MixMax. The tools provided by MixMax are great and will truly change the way you email forever. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks, Mixmax!

I love MixMax! It literally gives gmail superpowers, and I love being able to see when someone opens my emails! It helps me at least know that my team are reading my emails when they forget to reply

LOVE this extension -- immensely helpful for productivity. I love the templates and seeing how people open my emails. I save a lot of time with MixMax!

Mixmax has boosted our productivity so much! Our customer and partner reach has skyrocketed ever since we started using this tool, as we were able to anticipate correspondent needs before they arised. #1 startup necessity

Mixmax has been a great extension to my gmail productivity. Working as a part of a small start-up, Mixmax has extremely enhanced our ability to network and expand our resources. The ability to sequence and track emails has increased my productivity, and it has been very crucial to my team's growth! Highly recommended!

Mixmax is a fantastic tool that essentially supercharges my email productivity. The ability to schedule sequences saves me a lot of thought, and being able to track opened emails gives me a good sense of what response yield I should expect. For my growing organization, it's crucial for our accelerated growth.

free version has limited utility and the starting point for a paid version leaps over what I find reasonable for my business's size and budget.

Mixmax gives organizations a greater capability of managing high volume communications and provides very useful analytics to help businesses become more efficient!!

MixMax is great 10/10 recommend and helps with my daily productivity + a great general tool for organizing e-mails and following up with others.

MixMax is probably the single most game-changing extension I and my team have used. We love the productivity boost, but mail merges are our favorite things, allowing us to connect with and reach hundreds of people in the same time it used to take to reach just a handful. Without it, our team would be unable to do 90% of our work on a day to day basis.

This extension is one of the best productivity tools I have for my Gmail inbox. The option to be able to send out organized mail merges, automated follow-ups and track reads and opens makes it the perfect tool for anyone looking for streamlining their email process. I recommend to anyone looking to make the most of their Gmail inbox to add this extension. Thanks Mixmax!

This app will change your life. I didn't think so but you will genuinely be surprised by how much you use this app. The ability to send emails later, see if people read messages and an array of other functions make Mixmax the ultimate productivity app. I am never going back. Thanks, Mixmax!

Great App, wonderful user interface. Productivity like you've never seen. Definitely a must get.

This app is probably the best app I have ever used in my entire life. The interface is gorgeous and flawless. My productivity has literally tenfolded. You are at a severe disadvantage if you don't download this app.

works super well and the "sequences"/mail merge tool very helpful, especially the statistics it automatically collects for you

I love MixMax!! Both the mobile application and the chrome extension are amazing. Highly recommend!

Really great product. Ideal to send large mail merges and keep your email efficiently organised. Works perfectly

This is a phenomenal extension. It is both easy to use and works exactly as promised.

This is tough, I really like the MixMax tools, but having it as an active Chrome Extension grinds my Gmail to a halt...literally. So, I can't actually benefit from it as I can't email while it is connected. Help!?

completely messed up my inbox.

Great product, awful extension. My Inbox is barely usable with it enabled... e-mails won't load, things will break, e-mails marked as Done come back to the Inbox on page refresh. It's a shame, because the product is very good.

Dramatic increase in productivity, wonderful automation, fairly priced. AND they keep making it better at a rapid pace. I have been able to replace another service I used to pay for with MixMax because it is better AND cheaper. Wow. Only thing keeping it from five stars is that I keep having text formatting issues. Random words, or blocks of text, seem to get put into an oddly different font style :(.

Decent product, however it has some serious bugs. For example, some of my contacts report that when forwarding my emails, the formatting is completely distorted (this appears to happen primarily for Mac users). Similarly, when I tried to use color text in my emails, colored sentences were automatically moved to different places in the paragraph completely distorting the meaning of my email. I think this may be more trouble than it's worth.

Extension doesn't always work for me, delete.

Pop ups are super annoying, wanted to like this chrome extension, but their marketing isn't too much.

Good idea, but so many people have done this for free. Had to uninstall.

#1 Extension on my bar. Only downside is now I get frustrated whenever I log on somewhere without mixmax installed!

Above all GMail extensions this is the one that makes the most difference to may day, my business. It's also the one that gets most interest from everyone else when I use the calendar function. I recommend it to all GMail users

It's absolutely fantastic!

It stopped showing the Lightning icon in gmail! EDIT: it was just temporary and it was fixed for me.

I love that I can see who read my emails and when :)

Good.

I love the idea and the attention to detail. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get it to work smoothly. I am unsure as to what could possible be causing the issue, but the extension does not fully launch and does not show "lightning" icon or Live Feed within Gmail.

wow, the popups are beyond annoying on your website. Then I install and i get popups in my email... so that won't fly. uninstalled

I LOVE MixMax!! Definitely delivered a great product. The Live feed is amazing! Keep up the good work.. Pockets fullllll of Thank you's..

Hands down the best tool for scheduling and making emails actually useful

Love it, especially the reminders. Talking of which how do I cnage the settings. I have, three times now, gone in and changed some of the "snooze durations" but they aren't being reflected when I go into emails to set reminders. I see nowhere in the settings page where one has to save changes so how do I do it please folks. Thanks in advance

Brilliant! Seamless integration with my Gmail. I use it for both of my businesses with stellar success. Using MixMax Sequencing helped me acquire new clients in an almost set-it-and-forget-it fashion. Fantastic team that takes recommendations seriously and is consistently adding value. It is well worth it to have the Professional account.

This extension really has made my google mail my most important tool, absolutely can no longer work without their schedule mail and email reminder features. And the team have been amazing with their personalised and untiring support when I had a hiccup. thanks Mixman

Man... I think this is one of the most beautifully integrated and useful app you can add to Gmail. Some apps will try to give you all of these tracking features but Mixmax goes even further with dynamic integration of calendars, polls, templates, mini email flows. It's like a smaller CRM with super powers. They have a clean integration and their support is amazing. Highly recommended for the smaller entrepreneur who just doesn't want to deal with large and costly CRM but still needs tools to make it look like he'S got a workforce behind him/her.

I was a fan enough to pay for it for one month. But after cancelling it, they put a countdown timer I couldn't get rid of at the top of my inbox. Very unhappy with this, I cancelled it, I liked it, used it for what it is, but why harass me, guys?

Buggy!! Great idea (in principle). In practice, it slows down gmail; saves random drafts of random emails. If you snooze an email to return later, it won't just return one email, it returns every email exchange with that one person. Reported that to support who wanted a screen shot - but I didn't have time to make it happen again, send a screen shot and wait for a fix - this needs fixing before asking people to pay for it.

MixMax is an amazing product that makes my work so much easier! I have finally managed to track my emails better, which allows me to target my messages more efficiently. Also, I really like the design!

This is a wonderful product. It has hugely helped boost my productivity and email organization. Mail merge is incredibly beneficial for any type of fundraising effort and the email tracking in general is so so helpful!

Awesome extension. Really great for planning logistics and an event/conference in general. Functionality is great and really easy to use. Would recommend to anyone.

MixMax is awesome! It's so useful in organizing our national design conference, especially for reaching out to executives and planning logistics. The interface and the combination with Gmail is smooth and easy to understand - thank you for this great service!

MixMax has been an incredibly useful tool in getting sponsorships and reaching out to make new connections in organizing a national design conference. MixMax brings together all of the tools I needed in Gmail but didn't think existed. Easy to use and extremely helpful for organization and productivity. Thank you!

Very awesome, love the reminder feature. I'm really impressed they've been able to build all of this functionality right into Gmail. The learning curve is quick, support is responsive. Has quickly become an extension I can't live without. Thanks!!

MixMax is an absolute lifesaver. My team and I are currently using it to help organize a national design conference and I cannot emphasize how much it has enhanced out productivity and efficiency. It is user friendly and adds so much to my inbox. The live feed and email tracking are incredibly helpful. This product is indispensable to me. Also, Olof is incredibly kind, helpful and responsive. It is no wonder MixMax is such a success with him as CEO!

MixMax makes Gmail the most important tool for business. With connections to SalesForce, opening notifications, scheduling, and rich experiences ( giphs and more) it's something every Gsuite user should have. I believe Google or SalesForce will fight to acquire it in the coming year, it's so good. My firm Photonic PR uses MixMax for CRM, Sales and Marketing. We couldn't be happier. And, the team offers excellent support.

I just started using Mimax when I joined my new company. I started receiving beautiful, simple, product emails and always wondered if I could do that for our company. Yesterday, I had a great email exchange from the CEO himself! He helped me get squared away and we just sent out a feature update to our clients that's getting great responses.

I did the free version for months and then upgraded to pro. Mixmax is an essential part of my workflow for my booking agency. Plus they are always working hard to update and add new features. Everyone I introduce to Mixmax gets back to me within a week to say how much they love it - and I'm sure you will too!

This is my single most indispensable email tool. It helps me move faster and work smarter in so many ways. I have recommended this to numerous people.

Forget the Big Boys (Yes, Bananatag, Hubspot et cetera)... way too scattered and pricey. Mixmax is definitely worth its weight in gold...FOR FREE to start out. And what it can do ?!!! I just got my hands on it and I'm absolutely delighted to have found this nugget... and no, I am not a paid shill - I just want to praise good work. Like how Mixmax efficiently directed me to alter 2 conflicting things - content and cookie limits i had previously set, in order to properly instal it. And then the fun began... See for yourself. Thanks Olof, y'all done good ! PS.: can't wait for the ios app .

This is one great app - especially the mail merge features if you'd like to reach out to many people on your list at the same time. Sign up with this link to get a free month of premium! https://mixmax.com/l/Bo9co

This is an excellent and light weight way to build in CRM to your workflow. The thought that it should revolve around email and your email account is awesome and not to mention that new features keep coming out monthly for no extra cost! Love it!

Just spent an hour drafting an email. I selected "Send later". The email did not get moved to my drafts and was deleted. I checked the mixmax website and I can not find the email their either. Even before this sometimes my scheduled emails would appear in my outbox but not under the outbox tab on my account on the mixmax website or visa versa. Never using this again.

This extension adds the features that Google forgot to add to their email client, like mailing lists and more layout features. The best parts for me have been the click/read tracking and the poll features. Recommended!

the read receipt feature is amazing!!

Great time saver!

I do like the ease of use and the calendar scheduling is awesome. But the product relies on the kindness from Google. Your account can get blocked by google if they decides you are sending too many email per day. I don't like that from the first minute I got it I am constantly being pushed to recommend the product to seven of my contacts.

Not improving fast enough, takes over and hijacks your inbox instead of being helpful, too much self promotion, even as a paying member.

I recently helped produce a large-scale event last month for local entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic development. I only installed Mixmax a month or so prior and the service was incredibly helpful in my endeavor. Mixmax Sequences and contact lists made it dead simple to manage communications with vendors and speakers. I found myself constantly checking the "live feed" feature. I wanted to know who opened my email, because if so, that meant I would likely get a response soon, and that meant I was on the road to a successful event. It's a page full of analytics about your sent email. Here is where I believe the cornerstone of Mixmax's growth lies. Mixmax is so sticky. Throughout the launch of my event, I had my live feed up all the time. Even now, I check it multiple times a day. I'm always on it. I recognize their logo instantly now. If they change it tomorrow, it won't be long before I learn their new one. As far as retention-based growth goes, I think they're brilliant at utilizing email analytics as a way to bring people back. Regarding viral growth, they do a good job of getting their own word out via email (a la hotmail). They have a fantastic onboarding process but at one point they ask for referrals to 7 friends from your contact list in exchange for a free upgrade to Mixmax. I didn't like this part. I wasn't familiar with Mixmax enough yet at that point in time to recommend it to anyone else. Plus, the message they provide is cliche and comes across spammy (one friend thought it was actual spam). I see a lot of tech startups do this too early on in the signup process. "Tweet us. Share us." Nope, sorry, I don't know you yet. I would much rather refer Mixmax 7-14 days after becoming very activated/intimate with the service. Now, I'm happy to tell anybody about it! Way to go, Mixmax!

Mixmax is easy to use and has so many great features that make my email so much better. Huge thanks to the Mixmax team from all of IgniteSTEM!

I love Mixmax. The calendar feature is great - no going backwards and forwards to make appointments. I love how the appointment appears on my Google Calendar. Love how I can sleep my emails until I have time to action them and also how I can time my emails to send them later to clients so I don't have to remind myself to do them later.

MixMax is awesome for keeping track of the emails I send, and has hugely increased my response rates. This makes it super easy to get leads for my work with IgniteSTEM.

This is a great extension, super useful. Thanks from IgniteSTEM!

Mixmax is an incredibly useful app. It saves me hours every week. The Mixmax team are responsive and just awesome. Thank you from the whole IgniteSTEM team!

Olof from MixMax kills it. This extension has ignited my email capabilities. I recommend this extension above all

An amazing app that helps save a ton of time! Super easy to create/use templates, set up sequences for automated follow ups, and takes just a few minutes to schedule appointments.

Many things to like including "remind if no reply received," tracking etc. Unfortunately it takes up to 4-5 seconds for the extension to release a message from 'Draft' to 'Sent'. Several times I've navigated away from Gmail after sending a message only to find it hours later still in the 'Draft' folder. While I can learn to stay in Gmail for a few extra secs, this is a potentially costly/embarrassing delay. Another annoyance is the number of other extensions Mixmax conflicts with, though this may be a Gmail/Chrome issue rather than Mixmax.

VERY USEFUL! I got it for templates but use it for scheduling and also the tools for adding media content. well done

I've been using Mixmax for 6 months now and i absolutely love it. There is two part of my career. Before Mixmax, and after Mixmax. With Mixmax, i got an amazing boost in productivity where with few keyboard stroke, i am able to fill templates, send automatic follow-up and reminders to prospects in sequences, gain extra intelligence on email stats that allows me to intelligently follow up. The calendar scheduling feature is just great. It saves me on hiring an assistant and i leave great first impression especially after upgrading and branding my calendar invite. The support team has been just fantastic. Very quick in replying and giving work around. They are constantly improving the product. Those guys just get it!!!!

Pro: The scheduling tool is amazing, the /command tools are excellent for saving time, the link population makes my emails look stunning. Cons: It can REALLY slow my computer down. The emoticons feature should be disabled at the start. Because of it slowing my computer down I have stopped using MixMax as much. Innovation: I understand your method for growth hacking but it is invasive. The constant non-specific notifications (ex. salesforce - which I don't even use) are very annoying. Having to log in just to use my email sometimes is a pain. Make the pre-loaded come with unlimited tracking and reduce other features. Tracking is easy to do with many other extensions. In fact, Hubspots sidekick competes with MixMax in the extensions - which is also a pain. MixMax is very responsive to customers - including posts to them on Twitter. in the end I see the /cal being a stock standard command for years to come. Five stars for being innovative and customer centric. Just make it faster with by eliminating or reducing features that simply don't matter (emoticons).
