Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing. You can only contact them by email; there is no phone number. They say they'll refund you and then make an excuse why they "can't."
  • It is a nice convent platform for podcast. I have enjoyed using it for almost 2+ years to listen daily to the Gerry Callahan show.
  • The user interface is fantastic. It has the feel of a slim Facebook without the ads, the manipulation by algorithm, etc. It's a great way to support the creators you love.

Cons

  • No phone number. "Support" is a joke. They lie about refunding you.
  • When the podcast I listened to every day stoped presenting because of the host's illness I could not get my money back.
  • Honestly: nothing. Of course more features would be welcome. But it’s a startup and they are moving fast.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Design. There literally are no other pros. The site lags forever and you can not even talk to support on the phone.
  • Nothing but issues from the beginning... all they do is apologize and tell you to send them the feedback which they queue while charging you for support and never do anything... They have no major update or vision... It's probably one person working on the code....
  • It looks nice....but only looks.......... .

Cons

  • Slow slow slow, lagged. I hated the fact they don't come in for support until 9:30 PM EST so if your site is down and you are in the USA, you're just completely left to hang. My site is down for 15 hours now and they tell me 24-48 hour response time. BEWARE!!!!!
  • Stay away from this bunch if thieves and crooks unable to fix any issues or lying about everything they do or sell. They have no business acumen and no work ethic, they actually despise their western clients.. And there is nothing you can do but post bad reviews since they are so far away from any kind of liability.
  • Two big problems that make this script or platform VERY expensive; - support: after you have bought it, you have a few months support. You ask something, it taes several days for the answer, that mostly is not an answer to what you asked. You lose a lot of time and after a few months they stop support, unless you pay further support. - customization: if you want to personlaize the script /platform you have no other choice than asking it to the people of phpfox. This can become very expensive. BUT, the biggest problem is the fact that EACH time that they launch an upgrade, you have to ask them again to do that customization and of course, this will not be for free. We bought this platform a few months ago and there have already been 3 upgrades. Money, money money! Looking on Google other people also have problems with Phpfox
