Firehose Chat iPhone App Review
We are living in a fast world. None waits for anything anymore. Even communicating via email is not quick enough. The quickest means of communication we have now is live chat. Firehose Chat for iPhone is a chat application that will come handy to website owners to chat with the site visitors. Once you add the code snippet to your site, you can see other users who use the app. Developed by Mysterious Trousers LLC, Firehose Chat iPhone app is available as a free download from iTunes App Store.
Features
A live chat box in a website gives a personal feel. With Firehose Chat for iPhone, you don’t have to write even a single line of code. Instead, the app generates a snippet of code that you got to embed in your site’s HTML. From both ends, it is an elegant looking solution. It creates a neat chat box on your guest’s side and a pleasant looking inbox on the owner’s end. An iPhone notification pops up to notify you that someone is looking to chat. In other words, you will receive a push notification to your iPhone and Mac when someone wants to chat, even if the app isn’t open. So, even if you are away from your PC, you can still respond to the chat requests. You can set “do not disturb” hours that determine if the chat box allows visitors to try and live chat with you. If you’re not available, visitors can leave their e-mail and a message so you can respond later.
The app interface is neat and uncluttered. Novices and experts will find it easy to use. If there is any downside to note, then it has to be the non-recording of your chat history. To enjoy that extra functionality, you got to upgrade to Firehose Chat premium. The premium version also let you view what your teammates are typing so you don’t both chat with a visitor accidentally.
Conclusion
Firehose Chat app for iPhone provides an easy way to add a chat tool in your website. The app provides the code snippet that you got to embed in the site’s HTML code. It is pretty much plug and play. The app interface is uncluttered and easy to use. In the free version of the app, you can’t access chat history. For that, you got to upgrade to the premium version of Firehose Chat. Overall, a useful tool for anyone looking to connect with their website guests.
