Appstle℠ Memberships

We installed it on our shop as an optional thing to complement our YouTube channel, but it has been the perfect tool to allow our audience to donate directly through Shopify (where we also sell books). Also, customer service has been of great help, as we have no knowledge of coding whatsoever.

I was freaking out about membership stuff. Too many options, with not enough substance about what I need. I wanted things to be simple, but they weren't. Until I found Appstle. Not only was it fairly easy for me to figure out by poking around, but once I ran into a snag with the membership not showing up as a purchase option, Nancy was on top of it. The support was quick and helpful, and they fixed my problem nearly instantly. If this app continues to be this user friendly, easy, and accessible, then I can't imagine ever using anything else to manage my memberships. Great job everyone. And thanks again, Nancy, you Rock star!

Have been evaluating different membership apps and Appstle app seems to be the only one not charging transaction fees. The beginning was a little challenging with multiple customer service agents and long wait times. Then I was connected to Mann who had a great idea to set up a quick meeting to discuss everything. We set up the membership plan in 30 min.

They have really nice support staff who try to help. But after two days and a number of different people I have given up trying to get this app to work on my site. I have had to repeat my issues multiple times as new people keep jumping in and while I tried hard to make this app work the support teams suggestion for a call after I have spent over 8 hours try to get basic features to work i just have to give up on it.

So far so good...the support is very good. They are very responsive and appear to be available at any hours of the day. We already have the Appstle Subscriptions app, but we have found that as a CPG product business customers will order a subscription item, but if they are not using it fast enough they cancel the subscriptions. We are updating our strategy and the memberships app is perfect for our new offering.

**UPDATE 3/15/25**
We are now looking into the Loyalty App because as it turns out Smile.io does not allow us to add customers to their VIP Tiers based on a customer tag, but Appstle Loyalty does have this feature, and for half the price....been paying for Smile all this time and doesn't even have what we need. Instant support from Appstle to answer our questions about the Loyalty App....very responsive.

Appstle, has been incredible. The membership platform has allowed me to monetize my subscriptions, and to open up new avenues with my business in a way that I could not have imagined. Appstle is incredibly easy to learn, and anything that I have struggled with (I'm not at all tech savvy), their 24/7 chat made the process that much easier. Not only did they plug the right information in the correct fields, they taught me how to do so that I could manage in the future.

Thank you Appstle!

Very very happy with their customer service. Maryum was patient, experienced, and kind. She guided me through the whole setup process according to our requests. At Crescent Cast, we are focused on selling high-quality crystals and needed an app to provide our loyal customers with a membership plan. This app suits our needs perfectly and with their free plan we get to test the integration and functionality on our site. Very happy so far setting everything up, now hoping once we get people subscribing, the app remains working well. The good thing is that I know we can count on their customer service if any problem arises!

This is now my 2nd life review, as it seems worth giving. Appstle offers incredible apps, and this membership app definitely follows suit. It is simple, yet seems to give way more than appears, primarily due to the professional feel it gives your company, and with how smooth the app runs. There is plenty of customization to make it seem like everything is provided from you, the merchant. The customer service is also great, and responsive, however, ANNIE is AMAZING! She is a great combination of friendly and informative, she is fast at fixing all issues, and excellent with follow up communications when issues are not hers to fix. HIGHLY recommend APPSTLE Memberships

Support has been great while starting my online consulting business. The team is responsive and found a way to implement my specific needs into their membership platform. Highly recommend! 5/5

The issues we are having with Appstle are becoming way to constant. We are reaching out because of something wrong on their end at least once a month. Most recently an honest customer let us know that despite their membership expiring two years ago, they just came back to us and still had access to all membership benefits that should have expired. It has now been over 48 hours, and the only response I get is that they need more time... no information on what the problem is, if they have identified it, and when the problem will be fixed. No information on how many other expired memberships are having this same glitch. So basically we are shelling out a lot of $$$ per month for an App that isn't even functioning properly... We are officially looking for a new app as this one just keeps disappointing us over and over again. UPDATED 9/15/2024

Appstle did eventually fix the problems we had, and has been functioning flawlesslly since. They have also provided excellent customer service since fixing all issues.

I would have given 5 stars exept for the issues we had that took too long to fix.

I initially gave Appstle Membership 5 stars.

We have been using Appstle Membership since the end of February. Unfortunatley we are still having kinks that need to be worked out, that have supposedly been fixed, the biggest issue are tags not being removed from customers when their cancelled memberships expire, which gives customers unpaid for access to membership content. I have put an ultimatum on the line and if the app isn't working properly, I will be back to shopping fo an App to handle our membership needs, which I am not looking forward to as migrating from one app to the next is a huge pain and takes a lot of time and energy.

Wow! We are a Membership/Subscription model for accessing digital content on our website. We were using ReCharge, but found lack of support, continuos issues, and the need to add apps and work arounds to have our Memberships managed well to be too much with what we were paying to ReCharge. I researched Appstle, and initially wanted to move to their subscription platform, but they recommended with my needs the Membership App would be better.

The migration went incredibly smooth, without disrupting our customers access to content, and we were able to get rid of 2 other apps that were needed with ReCharge because gating the content, and accurate tagging are taking place in Appstle Memberships. Best of all, the customer can cancel their membership at anytime, and keep access to the content until their membership expires!

We also find that the customer interface is more intuitive, and functions correctly, so I am not getting emails from customers asking me to help them cancel their memberships, because it isn't working.

The support we receive from Appstle is top notch. I do not need to create work arounds to have my site function the way it was intended. I wish we would have started with Appstle Memberships first.
