But again, is the missing bit to consider is a complete product. ----- ### "Glad I chose phpFOX\!" — 4.0/5 > **Amber** | *1 July 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a very good product with lots of features and many customization options. This is a big point of difference from other companies with this product/service. The staff is always very patient with me. They also release updates and new features regularly. > > **Cons**: I'd love if the company could have longer working hours so turn-around time is faster. More detailed reporting for admins would be helpful. It would be great if the 3rd party apps that integrate with the browser version could also work in some capacity on the native mobile app. Sometimes I run into a limitation and custom work is cost prohibitive for my small budget (although probably charging a reasonable rate). > > I'm glad I chose phpFox because they have a great product that is always evolving. The staff is kind and patient and takes my requests and concerns seriously. I'm hungry for more reporting options, features, and flexibility in customizing the mobile app and happy that the company is always listening to feedback. ----- ### "total scam\! nothing works." — 1.0/5 > **Mark** | *3 March 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: i thought i was buying a good product but was fooled by these peoples fake reviews. most of these reviews have to be fake because phpfox is a total ripoff and money scam. i spent so much money with these people > > **Cons**: nothing works. 3rd party vendors can steal your bank accounnt and private information, then phpfox says they have no connection with them. they charge for basic things the menu says it can do but dont actually do it. they have to do everything no matter how smart or advanced you are, phofox have their product laid out so you will have to keep paying them to install. until i see my product working for my money i spent, i will not recommend this crappy product to anyone. dont buy or you will have a headache trying to figure out where your money went > > everything about them is bad. they seem nice at first but they are crooks ----- ### "Teaching an old fox new tricks" — 4.0/5 > **Stuart** | *10 July 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It offers a lot of functionality for creating sites tailored to different audiences. It has matured into a stable platform and I find the look clean and familiar. The more recent addition of docker builds makes it straight forward to deploy and the availability of source code is reassuring. > > **Cons**: As with any piece of software that has evolved over a long period, there is a learning curve to familiarise yourself with, both with planning the functionality and fine tuning the underlying infrastructure. At times I feel the performance could be a little snappier, but been adequate for my use so far. One area I feel is missing for a modern web platform is automation triggers inbound and outbound, either by web hooks, and API or to services like zappier etc to facilitate integrations with other platforms and SaaS tools. > > I've been using phpFox/Metafox since 2011 and there have been ups and downs along the way. However over the last couple of years I feel the product and the team behind it seem to be on a more consistent footing and have been positively moving version 5 forward both technically and with more accessible pricing. After I previously let the annual support fee lapse for a period, I renewed last year and intend to keep supporting this as I have a new site in mind to use it for. ----- ### "phpFox - great social network platform you can customize" — 5.0/5 > **Josef** | *7 July 2025* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Currently, the react interface has been a huge step up. The platform keeps up with most mainstream platforms in terms of design and functions. > > **Cons**: If you do any customization of the code, to get the system updated to the last version is quite painful. > > I am using it since version 3 for more than 12 years and I probably will use it the next 12 :) It is a social network that I can customize and it suits my needs. Constant updates and new crucial functions keep emerging. It seems that it is a system I can trust that will not cease soon so I will not be force to look for an replacement.. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/170483/phpfox?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/170483/phpfox) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
