The application itself is always improving and it’s already one of the best apps for live chat in my books, the features they are adding and integration they have already blows everything else out there out of the water. The plugin is simple to install and works flawlessly. Really can’t say enough about what this is and how every company should be taking advantage of this.

Super easy to install, super easy to use. And the team over at hybrid.Chat are responsive. I have found that they are always available when I have a random question. If you want to see how the plugin works, just message them on their site. CEO will walk you thru, lol.
