Top Rated Flashissue for Gmail Alternatives
The feature to build a standard mailing for your customers or business partners as easy as it gets. The tool is handy and very fast in building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Many errors when building a mailing. I lost all progress once and was very dissatisfied. Especially when I have a critical dead line and want to remind my customers it is bad. Design limitations are also a problem I think. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It integrates directly into Gmail and has a chrome snippet extension I like too. I like being able to monitor source sites via RSS for new content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike the subscription admin. I had a very good price which I kept as a legacy. I looked at the options but by clicking them I lost my subscription and the features I had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Works immediately after connecting with your Gmail account. Is in general a solid tool for people who want to make a newsletter without having enough experience for using other advanced tools. I had only a small learning phase and after that I could use all features of this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I lost my progress a handful of times while making a new newsletter. Because if the tool crashes it doesn’t save anything of it. This needs to be addressed by the developer team because it is frustrating, and you lose time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fact that an absolute newbie like me can create appealing mailings with this tool. Also, it is not expensive and it saves time. Also, the support was even in the trial period top notch. They responded very quickly and solved all my problems I had at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At first, I had some problems with crashes but the support helped me. Also, I think the layout templates and overall design could need a little improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although I work as an accountant and never came in contact with designing a mailing before I could handle the tool after a only a short while. At the same time the design variations and settings are huge for such an easy tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I had some problems with the sending of a certain mail but the support team has not answered in an appropriate time. But I think they will improve in the future if the tool is more successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
flash issue makes it easier to send communication to a group, and has features to make it more appealing than a typical email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing structure is not the best, but workable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think it has his strengths in the private sector or for small companys which doesnt focus mainly on newsletter marketing or something. One can easily build a newsletter/mail. The building process is in theory very intuitive and even possible for newcomers. Sending massmails is going fast and without problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Now the downside. Although the building process of personal mailings is made very easy it has two big flaws. The tool crashes here and there without saving the progress and you can start from the scratch again. That is extremely negative and in a company where time is money one cannot afford this crashes. The other big flaw is the limitation in design. It is not comparable with tools that are more difficult but offer more freedom in the mail build process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the concept of building dynamic Newsletters right in Gmail. If it works, the design around templates would make it easier to create branding and would allow me to build and deliver newsletter information more frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When sending my first emails, I received a notice that they were being held for "review" to ensure they are not spam. The note said it could take a few hours to clear for new customers, but after several days they have still not been released or acted upon by FlashIssue. My inquiries go unanswered.
Also, I have a paid subscription, but I haven't been able to get any communication from FlashIssue on their educational discount. Overall, it appears that "nobody is home." I am still holding out hope that FlashIssue is just suffering growing pains and will become a quality product and service. Right now, not so much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fast and helpful way to send mass mailings to your customers. It is very easy to handle the installation of this addon. The learning curve is perfect for it and it only needs a few minutes to make your first email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The limitation of design and settings is a problem right now but I think in the future there will be more of them. Also, my progress was not saved a few times at the start when I worked with this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the pre-built templates and the ability to quickly move content, insert pictures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a longer list. Emails do not reach recipients. FlashIssue attributes this to spam filters on the inbound server but I have no problems emailing these recipients directly using gmail. Recipients are sporadically categorized as "bounced", meaning the email could not reach them. In almost every instance, the bounce was not legitimate. FlashIssue would add the recipient back, but the same problem occurred on the next email. Recipients show up as unsubscribing when they have not unsubscribed.
Customer service is practically useless. There is no phone number to call. When someone does get back to you, it's usually several days later. The technicians are always vague about what it is that they've fixed and they have yet to actually fix any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
