Crowdfire Reviews

I used to not only love Crowdfire but recommend it to everyone. However over the years as it changed to this app and then Twitter cracked down on it, it’s gotten worse and worse. Now I’m expected to pay extra for basic features that my social networks already have built in and the features I’m supposed to have access to (like analytics and recommend content to post) don’t even work! So now I’m left with paying for an app that only lets me schedule content. Sorry but I just can’t pay for a feature Hootsuite already does so much better.

On top of that for the month or more when the features of Crowdfire were unusable because Twitter suspended their API use, I was not given a refund for my money. That’s $15 a month I was paying for absolutely nothing at the time. Seems unjust to just take people’s money and offer no service. I only found out because I opened that app to recommend it to someone and then was presented with a message about it currently being unusable. They really should have refunded anyone paying for their service during that time, but it feels like ever since they rebranded to this app they have been struggling to tread water.

Unfortunately after using Crowdfire for years and years I just couldn’t justify the cost with the lack of service and had to cancel my account.

After I logged into Crowdfire it automatically log me into another person‘s Facebook account. It auto populated their email address and password, neither of which I had, and I could even push the see button and see the password. I tried deleting that Facebook account and entering in my own and Crowdfire kept automatically connecting me to the other Facebook account and wouldn’t let me connect my Facebook account. Even after I tried deleting Crowdfire and reinstalling it it still connected me to this other person‘s email account. Then I tried searching all over the Internet to find someway to contact help and get assistance and I couldn’t find any way to contact any person. I finally found an option called mini this app where you can send an email and that was even broke!!! When I tried to send the email The system bounce back and wouldn’t said the email through. What the heck!? Why is there no way to get in touch with any person related to to Crowdfire?!?!🤯😫😤

I’ve had Crowdfire for a little over a week now and I love the concept of it. I can schedule all my post for Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. I even get notifications about post about new items in my store. As good as it is, there are some downsides. 1) Not everyday I get my prescriptions and if I get it, it’s hours after I have my reminders scheduled for. 2) When I try to return to Crowdfire after posting to Instagram, Crowdfire completely freezes and I have to force close out of it a couple times before Crowdfire starts working again. 3) It would be great if I was able to access all the extra content Crowdfire suggest at anytime and not only when the “prescriptions” pop up. I feel like if that was easily available it would make Crowdfire a lot better and enjoyable. Other than those things Crowdfire does what it says, it just has a few bugs and could use a little boost.

I Had Crowdfire Since Day One & It Was The Best App For Social Network Managing. I Was Able To Follow/Unfollow Using Multiple Accounts & It Was Actually Helping Me Build My Accounts. Now Over The Last Year You Guys Have Totally Ruined Crowdfire With This Subscription Based Nonsense, That No One Is Going To Subscribe To Because People Don't Have Money Like That To Pay $10 For 100 Different Services On There IPhones IDK Why Apple Even Allowed This Subscription Based Crap Anyway, If You Weren’t Making Money Before From The Pro Versions What Makes You Think You're Gonna Get Paid Now Using A Subscription Based Feature, These Aren’t Video Games, Full Programs Or Netflix Films Using Big Hollywood Budgets, They Are Tiny Apps Used On Our IPhones, I Am Extremely Disappointed With Crowdfire & Will No Longer Be Using It Because You Guys Have Ruined It End Of Story. Apple Should Just Get Rid Of This Subscription Based Crap Because All Of You App Programers Are Trying To Take Full Advantage Of The People Who Use These Apps By Charging Ridiculous Amounts Per Week, Plain & Simple!

I began using Crowdfire to manage my Twitter accounts years ago when it was free and even upgraded to a paid subscription because it was so useful and the best I found. They've since gotten greedy and the pricing is ridiculous! I won't even get into how I was forced to upgrade my app at one time which resulted in having to pay the higher subscription fees...

Now, as of January 31, 2019, Twitter has suspended their API access and says it "will not be restored due to prior violations" yet, as of today, Twitter is still listed as an available platform here and on their website with no indication of the current lack of Twitter functionality. I no longer have a use for Crowdfire thanks to another free app that gives me the functions I was paying this app for.

If you're looking for an app to manage your Twitter acct, this is not it. I suggest you cancel your subscription if you have one because you won't be able to get a refund if the Twitter functionality is not restored. Trust me...been there with this app before too.

When you read most of the reviews on here it’s people complaining about not being able to unfollow a bunch of people. Crowdfire does what it says it does. The updates are to comply with IG and twitters new terms. As someone who hates the whole follow/unfollow trend, I’m glad Crowdfire limits that nonsense to 10/day. Your content must be pretty bad if you have to follow/unfollow 100 people a day just to gain followers. Instead of bashing a decent app why not look at your content first. I will say Crowdfire isn’t as user friendly as other apps I’ve used. But at least it does what it says it’s supposed to do.

I feel the same way as a previous customer feels. I was not reimburse for the month that I could not use this app when Twitter cracked down now on new rules,( API)now Crowdfire I wouldn’t recommend it because it’s so much confusion with it it’s not simple anymore I have not been able to use this app. I just upgraded my account and I’m still not able to reconnect my Twitter account what is going on and I wouldn’t recommend Crowdfire right now it was awesome great in the beginning but now I just used feel as though I am wasting money. I would definitely be canceling my account if I am not able to use Twitter this week it is going into two months. And I too have not been reimbursed for the months that I was not able to use Crowdfire .
I have tried over and over again sending emails after emails with no response to try to resolve this problem.

My suggestion is to, instead of the error email sent when the Twitter posts fail a message is sent that you all are having issues with Twitter and detail what you are doing to fix the problem. You should also send a message out via our notification letting us know of the problem rather than it being a not if we sign in with Twitfer (that's how I learned.) Keep in mind others do not sign in that way. Use the same message you used at that sign in. Also, put it in your community blog, tweet about it, put it on all of your Facebook page and wherever else you think will capture the attention of your users and the attention of Twitdevelopers who might worry about the publicity and immediately fix the problem to get you to stop making a big deal out if this. 😉 The key is transparency, do not play the victim (which you are not but for the sake of getting Twitter’s atte) and deeply apologetic. I wish you well.

I am updating my rating back to five stars. I was confused at first when the recent patch stopped letting me unfollow nonfollowers after 10 of them. The way the popup worded it it seemed that I was done and Crowdfire was now past some kind of new trial period, and I would never be able to use it to unfollow nonfollowers again unless I pay $10/month. This was right after it prompted me for a review when I gave it five stars... Not the best strategy from the developers there, and I suggest rewording the new pop-up to explain that the next day you can remove 10 more unfollowers. That is more than even needed for a normal Twitter user like me if I am using Crowdfire more than twice a month.

I read all the comments and sad to say I have to agree with what the majority is saying. I’ve had Crowdfire idk since 2016. I used it it was useful. Stop using it because I have so many apps, decided to come back and use it. The thought was been about 8 months since I haven’t use it , so it must be Banging with cool features now. UPON updating Crowdfire , the interface design is alright however the things that matter are non functional. For example programming team on an iPhone 6 Plus updated to latest Apple build. It only allows you to manage 1 account. THE ONLY REASON I GAVE OT A 3 is because I have faith In you guys and Crowdfire was decent a year ago. Let’s Pro-gress not De-gress. Peace be upon the team. And here’s motivation for you, I’m going to develop an App now do not let me finish before you guys actually make a working app , if i complète my app before you guys fix this then my friend I will be sending you my resume lol; peace family .

Crowdfire used to be the best app around for tracking Unfollowers. From the beginning I was able to unfollow 200 who were not following me back daily for free, with this latest update it has dropped to only 10. Now they want a monthly payment of $9.99. The best feature about Crowdfire is that it shows you oldest to newest followings, giving them time between tweets to decide if they wish to follow you back or not instead of unfollowing someone you just followed yesterday.
I used to love Crowdfire but Greed has lowered its ratings and has been very discouraging. In addition, the Unfollow feature has changed and has slowed down functionality drastically.
I hope they will consider giving grandfather rights to long time users if we promote Crowdfire from our account.
There are many different features to Crowdfire that are very helpful for growing your Fanbase.
Please don’t make me delete you this app

I started using Crowdfire around 4 months ago because I took over social media content creation with my company. Everything worked well and I enjoyed the features of the iPad and iPhone app and I even upgraded to the paid subscription on Black Friday when the rates were discounted. I moved to another position in January and no longer need the paid subscription. Here’s where the issues began...I CANNOT DOWNGRADE! The page to view your subscription/upgrade/downgrade is 404 and doesn’t exist. It’s not in Crowdfire nor is it on their desktop webpage. I have reached out to their support email and their Twitter account; neither have resolved the issue. Since I cannot stop billing, I’ll either tell my bank it’s fraud or contact the BBB; not sure what else to do since the page to downgrade to the free account literally doesn’t exist. I’m about to pay for my second month of not needing the service.

this app has been made worthless.

this app was a decent app prior to the last overhaul. Referring to this catastrophe as an update, a word that typically suggests positive change, would be highly inaccurate. The basic/free app is useless and even with a paid subscription the layout is wonky and services so limited it’s nothing to get excited about, so thanks for nothing. I’ve started using a different and really terrific SM manager, their basic service more than enough for beginners or even moderate users, any $$ is an investment in upgrades worthy the description and nominal cost. Someone developed a grossly-inflated opinion of this app, reduced the quality and quantity of its free-use functions so drastically that it eliminated any reason to have it. Good riddance.

Twitter control-mongers have way too much time on their hands. Some brainiac nerd with integrity needs to develop an alternative to Twitter and a compatible social media manager. Someone who believes in free speech with no asterisks, who has no delusion that only their opinions are correct so no need for those with differing viewpoints to be seen or heard, and most of all understands the dangerous mindset of anyone who believes it’s okay to silence opposition.

Those who covet power more than knowing truth fear differing opinions the most.

I used this app years ago, and from what I remember I liked Crowdfire a lot. But for a period of time I got less serious about my instagram and stopped using apps to help me schedule posts and the like.
I recently got really into my social media game though after starring on a dating show though, wanting to capitalize on the following that it helped bring me, and I remembered this app and saw that people were still using it! I apparently still had it downloaded so I updated Crowdfire and I’ve been trying to access it for days. However, no matter what I do Crowdfire will not open. I just get the main page and it says launching forever. It may be a decent app, if it was usable, but at this point it’s needlessly taking up storage on my phone. Looks like it’s fine to delete and find another app.

okay hopefully u look at these bc I have some legitimate suggestions. firstly, I love Crowdfire & it is so so helpful. I use it for my twitter. with that being said, there are some things u should fix. 1) UPDATE THE CHARACTER LIMIT on scheduled tweets! twitter just kicked it up to 240 so some things I want to tweet won’t fit using this app. 2) i also CAN’T ADD VIDEOS OR GIFS OR MORE THAN ONE PHOTO to a tweet I compose on this app for the best time and I can’t tag people in those photos 3) please make the limit a little higher with unfollowing and stuff, I love Crowdfire but the limit makes it hard to get anything done

I’ve been using this app for almost a year to manage several social media platforms I run. Crowdfire has been a Godsend! My audience on each platform has grown, my likes and shares are way up because of the ability to post at the “best time”. It helps me keep up with breaking news on the RSS feed and makes sharing one article across multiple platforms very simple.

I’ve had questions and one technical problem, customer service has been excellent...

I can’t recommend this program enough...it’s been a game changer for me.

The concept of Crowdfire is great, but the bugs make it annoying. I bought the premium plan but I’ll be canceling soon. I can’t post to Instagram at all. The new Instagram interface asks if I want to post to Story or Feed. Story works but clicking on feed takes me to my camera roll. I pretty much got Crowdfire for Instagram posting so if I can’t post to Instagram there’s really not point. I thought they would fix this but it’s been a month now so I’ve give up hope. There are several other small problems with Crowdfire but this is the most annoying one for me. I’m just glad I didn’t pay for the whole year.

Though Crowdfire has had some great features this most recent update is as if they want to make it harder to use! I used to be able to unfollow and follow competitors with a tap of the thumb and the next profile would line up right under my thumb for me to tap again... this was great... now it no longer updates and removes the person I just added and just shows that I clicked it.. now I have to manually scroll to the next one! This is at least 10x as slow of a process. Someone in their User Experience department should not be in charge. This is backwards... things should get smoother and with less friction over time... this app is going the opposite way... more cumbersome and slow. Well done.

I have two Twitter accounts linked to this app. The first account was linked through the trial offer. I later paid for this app and added the second account. It has been a nightmare from the start. I have had to contact customer support several times. Customer service takes 24 hours plus to return my message. That means I try the fix and if it does not work I wait another 24 hrs. Last issue took 72 hours +. I am now locked out of this account by Twitter and have unable to unlock it. The only feature I really like is the deleting of non-followers. The posts provided are pretty generic. I would cancel but I paid up front and will suffer through until renewal. I wish I had never heard of Crowdfire. Numerous hours wasted.

I generally love Crowdfire, but its usefulness took a serious hit when they removed the "post multiple times" functionality. I REALLY don't like to have to manually post my content multiple times. Why this functionality was removed is beyond me. Big mistake.

Also, they aren't the most responsive to questions on social media. I asked about this multiple times on different social media platforms, but got no response.

Whether I renew this fall or not all depends on functionality. Make it easier for your users to share their content repeatedly.
