That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 56 of the 63 other customer review tools grade higher. It costs $2,388 a year. - You could make: Review collection and appointment booking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network. - You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. - You could not: Fax numbers connected to the phone network. - You could not: Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
