"AI Makes Email Writing Effortless, But Needs Better Zoom Options"
What do you like best about Front?

I find the AI very helpful for composing emails, allowing me to sound more professional, friendly, or empathetic. Assistance in this area is always welcome for me. You make the process so simple. I also appreciate the ability to set my out-of-office notifications well in advance, allowing me to focus on my responsibilities without further concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

My eyesight isn't what it used to be, and I find myself wishing it were easier to zoom in on things. I know there's an option at the top left of the screen after pressing ALT, but I don't find it very user friendly. Another feature I would like is the ability to change the importance level of an outgoing email. I also wish we could snooze a calendar reminder. That isn't an option Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Front’s AI tools are helping you write more polished, professional emails and that features like advanced out-of-office scheduling make your day-to-day workflow smoother and more focused.

We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback about zoom accessibility, message importance, and snoozing calendar reminders. These are great suggestions, and we’ll share them with our product team as we continue to enhance usability and accessibility for all users.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave such a detailed review we’re glad Front helps you stay organized and in control throughout your workday!

"All-in-One Email Solution with Customizable, User-Friendly Interface"
What do you like best about Front?

Being able to have multiple streams of email communication in one place and being able to internally comment on emails without having to forward to other teams members. It is a very clean and easy to use platform. Coming from Apple Mail & Gmail it allowed me to customize my inbox using tags and rules the best way that works for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Although most of the macOS app has a dark mode, when accessing "settings", it defaults to the light mode and there's no way to change it.

I wish the dark mode experience was consistent throughout all pages of the app including the aforementioned "settings" page, it is so nice to look at the inbox, calendar and all other pages in dark mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear that Front has helped you bring all your communication streams into one organized, customizable workspace, and that internal commenting and tagging make collaboration easy and intuitive.

We also really appreciate your feedback on dark mode, you’re absolutely right that consistency matters for comfort and accessibility. Our team is continuously working to refine the macOS experience so every page feels seamless.

Thanks again for sharing your experience we’re thrilled Front is helping you and your team communicate more efficiently!

"An Organizer's Dream"
What do you like best about Front?

What's not to like? There are so many useful features such as assigning individual emails out of the group box, @mentioning in comments instead of CC'ing coworkers in for a quick answer or reply, archiving, snoozing, tagging, the list goes on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

That not everyone uses Front so they don't know all of the wonderful features they are missing out on organizationally. Also, if you assign an email to someone else, it still shows up in your shared folder or your inbox as you are co-tagged on the message even if it is not yours.

"Efficient Email Management and Team Collaboration"
What do you like best about Front?

Consolidates all of my company's customer service emails in one place, easy to tag team members or assign emails to another team member, provides shortcuts to other services, makes templates easy to build and access, groups all responses in one place for simplified management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

If two or more customers send an email with the same subject line, Front groups these together as a single email (then, if you click Send & Archive—the primary "send" button—all of the emails vanish to your "sent" box, including the ones you haven't yet answered). It's also difficult to determine specifically when you (or your customers) sent emails, as Front only gives you approximately how long ago the emails were sent (e.g., "3 weeks ago" instead of "November 21st"). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and for using Front. We’re glad it helps your team work more efficiently with shared inboxes and templates. In regards to the grouping/threading issues and experiences with "time sent ago" compared to specific timestamps; please feel free reach out to our Support team (support@front.com) and we can look into some grouping issue examples and also provide best practices when users prefer to view specific timestamps for their messages.

"Effective Email Collaboration Tool with Some Setup Challenges"
What do you like best about Front?

I use Front for my HOA and Property Management business and it really helps with triaging and delegating customer emails. I like how it allows our team to collaborate easily on email conversations and assign tasks to the right people. The features I appreciate most are the internal comments and tracking of response times. The internal comments are great because they prevent us from forwarding or accidentally sharing email information with clients. Plus, they let my team chat and attach documents or screenshots to ensure we provide the best response or solution for our customers. Tracking response times is really helpful for identifying team members who might need assistance or are overloaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Some of the UI can be clunky and difficult for our less tech savvy employees to pick up. Setup was cumbersome and difficult in leading the rest of the team on how to setup their channel. Wish it was more plug and play or had someone to walk the team through it. We are a small business without a dedicated IT team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that Front has helped your HOA and property management team triage incoming emails, collaborate more smoothly, and assign tasks with clarity. It’s great to know that internal comments and response-time tracking are making your workflows more secure, efficient, and supportive for your team.

We also appreciate your honest feedback about setup and the learning curve for less tech-savvy teammates. Front is designed to support teams of all sizes, especially those without dedicated IT resources so input like this is incredibly valuable as we continue refining onboarding and usability. We do have a few resources like our Community (https://community.front.com/) and Our Academy (https://academy.front.com/app) to help Teams onboard.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad Front is helping your team stay organized and responsive, and we’re here anytime you need support!

"Effortless Email Management and Team Collaboration"
What do you like best about Front?

I appreciate the ability to switch seamlessly between shared inboxes, like info@ or sales@, and my personal inboxes all within Front. This feature is incredibly valuable as it keeps everything in one place, eliminating the need to jump between multiple systems. I also love being able to share emails among team members effortlessly, which enhances collaboration and ensures everyone stays informed. The API integrations are amazing, in addition to the out-of-the-box integrations. Additionally, the initial setup of Front for my team was super easy, which made the transition smooth and hassle-free. This compelling ease of use, combined with its robust functionality, contributes significantly to why I would highly recommend Front to a friend or colleague, rating it a 10 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The form submission feature in Front could use some improvement. I feel that it is important to keep as many features available for small customers or startups. Additionally, it would be very useful if it were more obvious when someone submits a chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you for sharing such a detailed and positive review! We’re thrilled to hear that Front’s shared and personal inbox features, seamless collaboration tools, and integrations have made managing your communications so effortless. It’s great to know that setup was simple and that Front has become such a valuable all-in-one solution for your team.

We really appreciate your feedback on form submissions and chat notifications those are excellent suggestions.

Thanks again for your thoughtful review and for recommending Front so highly we’re delighted to have you as part of our community!

"Drive Customer Service & Accountability"
What do you like best about Front?

What's best about front is to know exactly what emails each user has to be involved with, but also the ability to manage an email amongst other groups. For example there might be an email that comes to a Customer Service team but it's actually best for Finance, well taking that email and simply applying it to the other group is super simple and doesn't create the same confusion that just forwarding does. It's also really easy to use. There's barely any learning curve needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The only real downfall I've been able to find is that it can get a little tricky in creating rules. Some rules will fire and they're simple to understand but if I can create a filter in the searchbar that returns results, the same filters for a rule should yield the same and it sometimes doesn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Hi Ernie!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're thrilled to hear that you find our platform helpful in managing team emails and improving collaboration across departments. It's great to know that the simplicity of assigning emails to the appropriate teams has reduced confusion and streamlined your workflow.

Regarding your feedback on the rule creation process, we understand how important it is for these features to work seamlessly. We're always looking to improve, so we'll pass your comments on to our product team for further consideration. If you have any specific examples or additional details, feel free to share them with us at support@frontapp.com!

Thank you again for your feedback, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more suggestions or need further assistance!

"Front makes support work so much easier"
What do you like best about Front?

I work as a payments support agent and Front has made my daily work so much smoother. Having one shared inbox keeps everything organized, and I really like being able to assign emails, leave comments for teammates, and see the full conversation history in one place. It saves me a lot of time and helps avoid duplicate replies. It’s also very intuitive, so new colleagues learn it quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The only thing I dislike is when they roll out a new UI update. It usually takes me a little time to adapt, and right after the update the app can feel slower or a bit glitchy until it stabilizes. It’s not a deal breaker, but it can be frustrating in the first days after an upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that Front is making your daily work in payments support smoother, helping you stay organized, avoid duplicate replies, and save valuable time. It’s great to know that features like assignments, internal comments, and shared conversation history are making collaboration effortless for your team and that onboarding new teammates has been intuitive.

We also appreciate your feedback on UI updates. We understand that change can take some adjustment, and we’re always working to ensure updates bring long-term improvements while minimizing any short-term disruption. Your input helps us keep that balance in mind.

Thanks again for sharing your experience. We’re thrilled Front is helping make support work more efficient and less stressful for you and your team!

"Enhances Customer Communication with Speed and Precision"
What do you like best about Front?

I love how Front is incredibly fast, which enhances my productivity when communicating with customers. The new AI-generated tool is fantastic for ensuring that my messages are professionally worded and free of spelling errors, providing me with confidence in my customer interactions. Additionally, the ease of navigation within the app is superb; every necessary function has its tab, making it seamless to manage messages and tasks. This organization makes it remarkably simple to customize messages, and everything feels intuitively placed. The app's setup was also quick and hassle-free, thanks to my team's support, allowing me to get started with minimal downtime. Overall, Front is an excellent tool that I would highly recommend, as reflected by my rating of 10 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

I feel like the timestamps on the messages could be improved. When sending a message, the timestamps can sometimes be inaccurate, registering the time as a full minute ahead even if only seconds have passed. This causes confusion, especially during work where accurate timestamps are necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and for highlighting Front’s speed, AI assistance, and intuitive navigation—we’re thrilled it’s boosting your productivity. We appreciate the feedback on timestamps as well; if you’re open to sharing details or examples, our team can investigate quickly at support@front.com.
