Nextiva App 4+

I work for a small business and we use Nextiva for our office phones. The desktop app and user experience is better than what mobile has to offer, although there are a few smaller shared issues.

My biggest complaints with the mobile experience are the notifications and login. I have all notifications disabled in my iOS settings, yet the Nextiva app still takes up my whole phone screen when a call comes in and pings me with other notifications. This is particularly annoying in the car because it interrupts my music or podcast, and there is no way to decline the call unless I take the time to be distracted, open the Nextiva app, and go through the slow and inefficient login process. Logging into the Nextiva app requires use of a Safari pop up instead of an in-app login. Why this is, I’m not sure, but it’s definitely slower and less efficient than baking the login into the app, which is how I believe it should be.

Otherwise the mobile app provides a mostly identical experience and feature set to what can be found with the desktop app.

I have used Nextiva for about 4 years now. My first experience was on their old mobile app, and the old desktop app. Which myself and the first company I worked for never really had issues. The downside on the prior versions was that the mobile and desktop app were not in sync. I moved to a new employer in August of 2022, who was using ring central. Right away my first experience with Ring Central was not great, the support was outsourced. And in all the account reps were just not knowledgeable. I contacted my prior Nextiva Rep, and he showed me and my new boss the Brand New Nextiva One app. We were blown away! My boss immediately wanted to switch to Nextiva, and EVERYTHING the Nextiva rep told me was exactly spot on. I will say that in September when the new app was released there was lots of bugs, but they seemed to always get fixed almost immediately. It’s now 6 months since Nextiva has rolled out the new platform and they have it dialed in and running perfectly. The customer support had some issues for about a month around December/January but ever since they realigned their customer service teams anytime we have ever needed support it’s been a blessing working with the Nextiva support team.I am now the hero in the office as I helped get our small company of 14 users over to what I would say is the best solution available.

Hi Travis! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your review. We're thrilled to hear about your experience with Nextiva. Thanks for the love and if you ever need anything, feel free to reach out!

Phone service with Nextiva and the app have by far been the most frustrating and maddening part of opening our small business. The desktop interface as well as the app are awful. I honestly don’t know how they could be worse. The app doesn’t seem to refresh, ever. There has been multiple times I will see a notification pop up on my watch for a voicemail or text but cannot find it in the app to reply or listen to, no matter how many times I refresh or log out/log back in, etc. And the app logs you out randomly, it’ll be a day or two and I realize I haven’t seen anything and go to the app and I’ve been logged out. With how crummy everything is I have zero confidence that I haven’t missed a call or message once I get logged back in.
Also, calls ring through to my personal cell number and I have no idea how that happens. I’ve looked at every setting multiple times and chatted with support and still I continue to receive calls on my personal number. This is frustrating because I don’t always answer unknown numbers and my voicemail message is my personal one so I’m sure that’s confusing for clients when they call. I don’t feel that it’s too much to ask for this to not happen.
We’ve started to look into other providers and I will GLADLY pay more for service I can actually use confidently and that doesn’t make me want to scream with frustration almost daily.
