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. ----- ### "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 ----- ### "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.. ----- ### "Amazing social network script" — 5.0/5 > **Alessandro** | *2 July 2025* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: PhpFox has an amazing power, you can edit everything and shape your social network as you want. It also has several useful plugins and overall is a complete script. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the way you manage blocks and modules may look weird, also would be amazing if additional language packs would come with the software and not apart. ----- 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
