Vipor CRM App Reviews

I’ve been using this app / CRM for my small business since about 2 months and I’m very happy with it. It’s simple, does the essential has a very good sync. with iphone and keeps well your datas from customer meetings, recalls … I recommand this app particularly for small business, Cies.

Everything I need as a Solopreneur to keep my contacts, notes and events all in one place. Simple to set up and get going. I love the idea of creating ‘Orbits’ and being able to assign my contacts and put them in different groups. I am looking forward to the future of Vipor.

Keep on it guys - this is the best practical real life problem solving and thinking I’ve seen after looking around for a while now...

This is too flawed to be a productivity enhancer. Under today’s activities are actions from 4 days ago. Under ‘upcoming’ activities for a given contact are meetings that took place yesterday. Standard ‘click to edit’ functionality is not available— you need to go looking for the edit button. It requires two actions to create an in-app calendar entry that shows up tagged with a contact AND an iCal entry. Too many clicks do nothing. I tried for 48 hours because it does look nice, esp compared with the ‘bad shoes’ design of so many CRMs… but this is a recipe for relationship confusion, and certainly not worth $20.

As a solopreneur, I’ve been using Vipor for 8 months now and this CRM is everything I need to keep track of my contacts, history, activities, tasks and meetings. I love that it works offline while so many CRMs these days are only web based woth monthly membership. It syncs great with my iPhone and iPad. It is not perfect but the team is working hard at improving it all the time and that’s what matters. This product is only getting better and their support team is great. I had an issue once and the support team was quick to resolve it. Finally, you buy the Mac version and get the iPhone and iPad version free, you won’t get a better CRM anywhere for that price.

The design is superb and it’s fairly easy to navigate. The UX design is intuitive. The “Orbits” concept is clever in that you can use it to manage reltionships and that’s what doing business is all about. Other CRM tools are often too complicated, Vipor is a CRM that let’s you focus on the work you need to do. As the saying goes “the fortune is in the follow up.” Good “how to” videos on YouTube and via the site. Best CRM for the Mac, iPad and iPhone with seamless syncing and calendar integration.

I like how this app make in easy to keep track of people across different areas of my life. It is easy to use and allows for easy follow-up tasks. The log that is created for the activities is very helpful especially as the I use it more. I believe this is a very powerful app for keeping track of relationships and making sure meetings, tasks, and calls don’t fall through the cracks. The calendar needs a bit of work such as drag and drop functionality. I have enjoyed using this app.

Not inuitive at all….I was told to wait for this new release. Now im back to sqaure one looking for a good affordable CRM. I’m glad i didnt buy this. I hope anyone important didn’t spend valuable time creating this app……very dissapointed.

I bought the predessesor product (VIPOrbit) for Mac a year or two ago. Way too buggy on the Mac, although the iOS product worked flawlessly. I REALLY LIKE the Mac implementation and have also installed it on my iPhone 5s. It needs some more capabilities, like the ability to easily add new contacts by importing a v-card or importing from cardscan or bizscancards, etc. But syncing with Mac or iCloud…I don’t care. I just want it to sync with my iPhone, my Mac, and my (someday) iPad. I have wanted a robust contact database that ties to a calendar, with tasks tied to contacts that syncs across all Apple devices. This is it, folks. It’s ACT! for the Mac. I like it. It’s very fast, even with my 3,500 plus contacts. Orbits are fantastic, as they can be whatever you want them to be (like “deals” or “projects”). It’s a great 1.0 app. If I could easliy import new contacts from a card scan or picture, I’d give it 5 stars. Thanks for the good work.

The early version of this app - VIPorbits - was OK, but needed a great deal of improvement. This new version should never have been released, not even as a Beta. It is full of bugs and has a terrible interface. It is not intuitive at all, requires multiple clicks to do anything when one click should have been all that was required. Just try to enter an address - it is nearly impossible and on top of that you cannot enter the state with a two capital letter abreviation, i.e. CA for California, you have to enter it as Ca. With a great deal of work it may be ready for Beta in 6 months.

Well, it’s more intuitive than MS-DOS. The import changed the time of appointments. Instructions for editing work only in one view, not in all the views promised. Import duplicated contacts. Yes, you can merge contacts. You still have duplicates, but one duplicate has no content. Deleting contacts is still a mystery. What else went wrong? I don’t know, I’ve only spent a couple of hours on it.

I had really high hopes when I saw that there was going to be a major update to VIPOrbit. Unfortunately, they still have a ways to go. The app does not sync back to the Apples Calendar or Contacts apps. In the case of the former, that makes this completely useless if you have shared calendars with people that do not use Vipor. If there was seamless 2-way sync, I’d easily give this another star. Regading Contacts, when I scan a business card into Evernote via my iPhone, that then drops the contact into Contacts. Currently, it doesn’t automatically pull that into Vipor. But, it at least is smart enough to only bring in the changed contacts…not the entire database all over again. The UI is certainly prettier, but has yet to fully leverage the abilities of iOS8. They’ve been VERY responsive to suggestions. So, I know they’ll get “there."

I pretty much ran my life and business using ACT! for Mac back in the day - and have never found anything that even comes close to being as good. Finally…Vipor tracks all my calls, meetings and to-dos in one app. I love it so far and am exciting to start running my business with it so i can keep track of all my clients, when they have appointments scheduled, how we originally met, notes from our last appointments, what I need to do after each appointment and so forth. And I really like that my information isn’t out in the cloud somewhere - it’s right on my Mac, iPhone and iPad so I can get to it easily without being tethered or paying monthly fees. If you’re tired of having this type of information spread out amongst multiple apps or floating in the cloud, definitely have a look at Vipor.

The previous version was much better and easier to use…..Don’t like this version at all…..

I have been searching for a good CRM app for the Mac. I thought this might be the one, but it lacks in some very basic ways: 1. It does not sync contacts with your address book or Google or anything, you have to manually enter them 2. It does not sync calendars with anything 3. It does not sync or integrate with e-mail, the video shows the CEO copying and pasting the body of an e-mail 4. Does not have any notion of deals or leads or anything regarding sales To sum up what this application does, is basically keeps a log of activities with a contact that only exists in the application. If they were to make everything sync (mail, contacts and calendar) they would have something pretty sweet, even without the sales based information. Let’s hope they get the idea and run with it. The Mac has yet to have a nicely integrated CRM application that puts all the informaiton about a contact at your finger tips without having to maintain it separately from the rest of your Mac apps.

It would be nice to have a great contact manager on the MAC and IOS. Since Bento was killed off this has been a problem on the MAC. I started with VIPorbit the previous version of this. It worked reasonably well. This version seems to be a complete rewrite of that program. The biggest problem is that you need to import any data into Apple Contact first to import into this program. There is no way to import a CSV file. So you have the limits of importing the data into Contacts. It’s a good start but still needs more work.

If you are looking to buy this for managing contacts don’t buy this. It is really poorly executed. I am kind of stuck using this until I can find time to transfer details to another database system. I would recomend using TapForms as this gives you better control and interacts some with Calendars & Contact. I think the people here are trying hard to put something great together, but for one reason or another its just not reliable and not functional : (

I’m a videographer looking to expand my business with my next big move to Vegas. I needed a program to store my old and new contacts and keep track of the relationships i build wth them all in one place. I’m please to have found this application through a podcast i was listening to called “Mixergy”. It was during the interview with the founder of "ACT!" and he spoke about VIPor for iOS and MAC. I jumped on it! I can’t believe its free right now… but i’m so thankful since I’m lucky enough to grab such a highend compatible software! A few things I’d love to see, would be full email integration for contacts, facebook, instagram, linkedin, twitter etc… in a way where it automatically syncs, instead of having to manually input all this info of your 500+ connections… Thats kind of a drag. But If it’s in the works, which I assume would be a no-brainer for these awesome developers, I can’t wait for it! It would cut out hours of busy work that I would have passed along to a virtual assistant.. saving me some additonal money. Thanks for this! And I look foward to the upgrades! You upgrade and i’ll make sure to share if you do!

Very curious about this software, purchased for mac and installed on iphone and iPad. Glad to find something suitable that isn’t a monthly fee as most of my industry specific (Real Estate) applications have a high monthly fee. Mobile apps seem to keep shutting down but Mac App seems to work much better. Will update with more news.

I was a fan of ACT! software years ago in business. It was a great tool to manage interactions with customers. I left the corporate world (and PCs) a few years ago, and have a (very) small business. I kept looking for something like ACT! for Mac. Almost all the available packages were Web-based and required a significant outlay of capital for access, payable in perpetuity. Vipor fills the need. Free download on iOS, low cost for OS X. Integrates Apple Mail, Calendar and Address Book. I imported data from the Mac without a problem. And my wife is VERY happy that I have been able to move all of my professional contacts out of our personal Address Book. Syncs seamlessly across multiple devices (but there are many slight differences in the user experience between iOS and OS X versions). Now if only the developer could figure out how to get the iPhone to grab the contact info directly from Vipor (if it isn’t in Apple Address Book, it isn’t seen by the phone). The work-around is that Vipor easily adds contacts back to the Address Book. So if you need to stay in contact with them more often, and want names to pop up when a phone call comes in, it’s not a big deal to get it into your Address Book. Better that than having the whole list in there, with my wife asking “Who is this?” about many of the contacts besides… A keeper.
