MailerLite Manager Reviews

I have been a ML customer for years and I do like their web platform. But the phone app? It’s trash. It constantly has bugs like not being able to scroll back through more than 20 sent campaigns (yes i have spoken with their tech people about it. It gets fixed and they reoccurs a few updates later), or not loading content.

Plus, you can only make plain text emails in MailerLiteManager ? Come on guys… In today’s tech heavy world no business sends plain text emails. Where is the drag and drop builder like other ECRM companies integrate into their app? I need to be able to set up emails on the go, and can’t without my laptop. It’s getting to the point i might have to change companies because i need this feature!

In short, MailerLiteManager is barely worth the download and certainly doesn’t add value for paying customers!!

I’ve been with ML for years and since their ~2021 revamp to the “New” platform, things have seriously gone downhill. pricing has gone up dramatically, even further long time customers. More importantly and relevant, they have not added much of value. I still cannot send campaign from my phone. MailerLiteManager usually has major bugs. For example, today nothing loads. So I might as well delete it. Very frustrating.

I like mailerlite in general but use the desktop version. MailerLiteManager is ok but it’s limited so that’s where the frustration lies with it. Apart from that it’s so messed up that they don’t offer customer support unless you’re a paying customer. This has actually caused many of us to abandon their platform because we get stuck, (esp with domain authentication and creating dns records) and their customer service is unavailable. As a business person, this is bad business. Because I find myself having to leave the platform for other platforms that offer better service. They could have easily converted me to a paying customer if they served me as a free customer and gave me a good experience, proving their trustworthiness as a company. It’s been disappointing. My email has been locked up for over a month bc of not being able to get it authenticated with my domain, and they’re not helping me. Why would I give them more money if they won’t even help me from the beginning? In my opinion this business model is hurting them, not helping them. They USED to offer great customer support.

I opened a Mailer Lite account for my biz emails but it’s very difficult to connect my domain. When I click on the help button, it directs me to articles to read. If I want to chat with someone, you must pay a subscription fee. I clicked on the free help to just send an email but the site never directed me to the email address, only to more articles. I read the articles pertaining specifically to my issue and still no connection. Once I transfer my contacts to Wix, I’m deleting the account. Such an inconvenience and delay in my email marketing automations.

Email part of the program works. I’ve had issues with saving and submitting website changes. I often have to save and submit several times for pages to work properly. Then I have to check the website several times for a day to see if I have to save and submit again. Support doesn’t have an answer. This has been going on for months. I’m ready to change website and email change.

I like the platform but MailerLiteManager consistently spins and struggles to work in any sort of reasonable fashion.

I refuse to believe that my 12k mailing list size is pushing the envelope on scalability (if it is then your marketing info needs to be more transparent), but pulling up a segment of 125 people = several full seconds of “spin” time. Pulling up my stats on my main list, several seconds of “spin” time.

There’s also easy things I’d like to be able to do that I can’t from MailerLiteManager . Such as: move an unsubscribed person into a Group called “unsubscribed”. I frequently have people come back and re-download a “magnet”, leading to them being resubscribed - and I like to make sure they get the automation that informs them they have chosen to resubscribe. I can only make sure to put them in that list when I’m in the desktop version.

I also can’t take bulk actions, like taking people who re-download my magnet (even though they are still subscribed) and removing them from the group for the Welcome automation. I can do them one by one, but I can’t take bulk action.

Please fix the “slow”.

MailerLiteManager is fine if you want to check on analytics, but for folks running their businesses on the go, it’d be great to be able to type up a quick email and send a campaign out. I don’t necessarily want to set up a full scale automation from my phone, but campaigns should really be included in MailerLiteManager .

I was hoping that MailerLiteManager would be easier to use on my iPad than the website but it was slow and rickety and I couldn’t go back and edit it on the site because they aren’t properly linked together :( please make MailerLiteManager less glitchy and more user friendly.

I switched from Mailchimp and find MailerLite to be okay, but miss some of the features of the chimp. For example, I find searching for a particular subscriber to be unnecessarily clunky and not as easy as it could be. With Mailchimp you would simply type in the last name or business name of the subscriber and the information was right there. I still encounter difficulties doing that with MailerLite. Thinking of trying out another alternative…

Honestly, if I could afford the yearly subscription right now, I’d get it. Hopefully in the near future! The only thing I think would make it even better (or maybe I’m just not finding it and it’s already available) is to have an option to get notified when a user fills out a form. Like, “so-and-so filled out a signup-form” or something like that.

Still, it’s really great for those of us just starting out :)

Super basic features for basic newsletter. Advanced features are still approachable and work great.

4 stars only because I want to be able to build entire campaigns from my phone. That would be the most amazing thing.

Like MailerLiteManager but I would like to be able to do almost everything that I can do on my computer. Currently doing most things with my phone (need to purchase a new laptop). So it’s been difficult to accomplish what needs to be done on MailerLiteManager .

MailerLite is an easy-to-use tool that keeps me in touch with the people who care about my work. Social media is rather unpredictable, but MailerLite is my email communication platform of choice.

I’ve used Mailchimp and AWeber, and both apps and platforms haven’t lived up to expectations better than MailerLite. The real time data by subscriber and by automation workflow is unmatched.

It’s great to be able to view metrics of my email list and email campaigns from my phone and to share links to my lead magnet forms easily. Would be amazing to one day also be able to send emails and create forms from MailerLiteManager !

I love that Mailerlite’s app gives quick and easy access to stats, last minute scheduling and a lot at your fingertips.

I don’t love that you can’t edit your campaigns on MailerLiteManager .

Iva been enjoying using MailerLite and even more when I found out they have a mobile app. Makes it easier to follow up on campaigns that were sent look at stats and take decisions based on them.

Thanks MailerLite team!

I have very small needs I do a 60 person email once a week and mailerlitei s free and works great. And if I need to upgrade I would upgrade with them if my email list gets bigger or need to change. I switched from mail chimp, which wasn’t free anymore.

I have a skincare business (solo;sun skincare) and I use MailerLite for my email campaigns, automations and landing pages to subscribe to my monthly newsletter! I am a super beginner and new nothing getting started. It took me awhile to get used to the layout since I’d never used something like this before but once I got it, I love it. It lets me use my customized brand colors, my logo and pictures when I need to. Great for beginners and also has options for those smarter than me! Would 100% recommend.

Finally - fully native companion app. So many of these email marketing companies go with React Native or Flutter and you can feel it.

MailerLite, honestly - to my surprise, has a fully native app. It feels quite nice, uses SF Symbols and respects dynamic type.
