“Furthermore, the platform is also a hotbed for scammers, fake accounts and misinformation since there is no hands on moderation like other apps.”

Absana P.

“From time to time, it will have problems where notifications do not show up instantly, particularly during busy sales.”

Luis V.

AGENT SALES

“I normally tell students to text me when they need help, but with TextRequests notification issues, I have had to resort to having them call me, which makes juggling multiple conversations very difficult.”

Jacob C.

Instructor

“I am also not a fan of the incoming message notification chime ( it does sound off until you open the platform, which is a good thing), it does not always sound and there have been many occasions that I missed or was too late responding to messages because I received no notification.”

Mellissa C.

Instructor
