Mailchimp Email Marketing 4+

A Good Start

I recently took over as my religious organization’s newsletter editor where we frequently use MailChimp to contact members of our congregation. Since I’m still in my mid-20s, I figured that downloading this app would work better for adding things quickly at events, while I’m out and about, or need to check something during my break at my day job.

While this app is great for checking to see what articles or other information we still need to add while I’m away from my computer, it’s not the best for writing or formatting the newsletter. Longer articles (or anything more than two or three paragraphs, to be honest) that I’m working on are often obscured by the keyboard while I’m trying to add something to them, which is unfortunate. I’ve also almost ended up sending mailings early due to the position of the ‘confirm and send’ button while trying to edit one of the newsletters.

Most of the time I end up having to do most of the major changes on my computer because of how this app ends up working. I won’t be deleting this app (as it is still helpful for at-a-glance updates), but it definitely could use some improvements.

Developer Response ,

Hey there, our developers have recently made a few updates and changes that will allow you to now scroll as needed when editing campaigns. If you do continue to experience any issues with scrolling while editing campaigns please feel free to write in to us at mobilehelp@mailchimp.com.

The Block my Account from sending emails For No Reason

I got the service to email my investors about new homes on the market. After only 2 campaigns Mailchimp decided to block my account. I didn’t break any rules whatsoever and I feel this is a disservice to me and my clients. No valuable explanation to why they done so. I will go back to constant contact because it’s better and they don’t block your emails for no reason. I give this service 1 star out of 5 because they don’t properly vet customers before blocking them, because if they did I wouldn’t be blocked right now. This is unacceptable and I will be sure to tell all my colleagues NOT to download this app and use CONSTANT CONTACT over this app. I’m mad I spent so much time adding my contacts and creating campaigns only to not be able to fully utilize the app. This app should just go out of business because it is discriminatory towards certain people and it is unfair with its rule. For one my campaigns are not spam, all my email contacts are subscribers to my email list so there shouldn’t be any problems. Mail chimps customer service is highly unresponsive to my complaints no reply or nothing! This service doesn’t even deserve one star!! DOWNLOAD CONSTANT CONTACTS I repeat DOWNLOAD CONSTANT CONTACTS !!! It’s waaaaaaaay better and not discriminatory towards its users!!

Get rid of the yellow!!

I’ve been using MailChimp for years and I do really like it. The app, in general, is pretty helpful and assists me in keep my mailing list up-to-date when I am out and about. However, there is a reason bright yellow is not used in most apps/branding... It’s hard on the eyes and generally off-putting. Just look at your competitors, as well as most of the apps in the App Store… There’s very little yellow because it’s just not a pleasing color to look at. Even Snapchat offsets by adding some white to make it look deliberate. The new look makes the app look amateur and ugly. When my partner first downloaded and installed the update, I thought something was wrong with their phone screen… Nope. There is just something wrong with the new branding. Please go back to your more neutral colors scheme, please. Even the newsletters are now ugly to read ...
