Major Highlights of the Week

Mobile Editing Limitations
The Wix app lacks full mobile editing capabilities, forcing users to rely on desktop versions for complete functionality, which is inconvenient for those without access to a computer. This limitation is seen as a critical feature gap compared to competitors like Shopify.
I’m disgusted by this lack of a critical feature; mobile users should be able to fully edit websites via the app.
Customer Support Frustrations
Users experience significant dissatisfaction with Wix's customer support, citing unhelpful AI-generated responses and a lack of effective human assistance. This has led to frustration and a perception of indifference towards customer issues.
Customer support is useless, providing only AI-generated answers that don't resolve real issues.
Subscription and Billing Issues
There are numerous complaints about unexpected charges, difficulty in canceling subscriptions, and misleading pricing information, leading to a perception of predatory billing practices. Users feel misled by the promise of free services that incur hidden costs.
App Performance and Reliability
The app is criticized for poor performance, including frequent crashes and slow load times, which hinder users' ability to manage their websites effectively. This has resulted in users seeking alternative platforms that offer more reliable service.
Every time I open the app, it crashes within seconds, making it unusable.
Feature Removal Concerns
Users are upset about the removal of critical features, such as fax notifications for Wix Restaurants, which disrupts their business operations. This has led to dissatisfaction and consideration of alternative platforms that maintain these functionalities.
Removing fax notifications has disrupted my clients' processes, and they are considering leaving Wix.
Complexity and Usability Issues
The app is perceived as overly complex and counterintuitive, with users struggling to perform basic tasks like domain connection and site management. This complexity is seen as a barrier to effective use, especially for those new to website building.
I can't even finish step one of getting a domain; the process is unnecessarily complicated.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I really want to like this app, but it keeps giving me an error — 'There was a problem saving your product. Try again.' — every time I try to update. On top of that, I can’t make updates from my phone at all and have to wait until I’m on a computer. It’s really frustrating since I need to manage my website on the go. Please fix the mobile editing and product-saving issues!
ibJANELL™
Please allow mobile users to fully edit a website via the mobile app. I’m also unable to pull up the editor on iPad via chrome browser. Very poor performance and coming from a Shopify build, this absolutely needs to be a standard feature. I’m disgusted by this lack of a critical feature.
BSlate90
I’ve been a loyal WIX customer for years, but this experience has been shocking and frustrating. I was charged double what I’ve consistently paid, and when I reached out for help, I was met with generic policy articles — completely useless in resolving a real issue. This level of inflexibility and lack of empathy is unacceptable.
