Disgruntled Grievance Apps

The Complain App Effectively Seeks Customer Service

— July 24, 2011 — Tech
Occasionally a bit of company criticism is worth your while, and it can often help out future customers. If you're not the letter-writing sort, the Complain app lets you quickly and easily construct comments that are guaranteed to get noticed.

Rather than launching an acrimonious email into cyberspace, this system offers a public platform that forces businesses to acknowledge your problem. It sends your feedback to Facebook and Twitter, and logs it in an ongoing feed with input from other :(omplain iPhone app users. As such, it's in the best interest of the service provider to straighten out the situation, given that this consumer-sided tool has the potential to quickly concoct a negative reputation. The Complain app is another convenient product by SNG Networks, Inc. that keeps consumers from being taken advantage of. Check the Complain App out here.
