Hi Jagmit,

I’m Gael, co-founder of Smiirl.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m truly sorry for the issues you’ve encountered.

Receiving a product without a charger and not hearing back quickly from us is simply not the level of service we aim to provide. You’re right to be frustrated, and I want to personally apologize for the inconvenience caused.

We’ve already prepared your missing cable kit, and it will be shipped out tomorrow. I’ll email you directly as soon as it leaves our warehouse, so you can track the delivery.

I also just reached out by email with a compensation offer. We know this situation hasn’t been up to standard, and we want to make it right.

Thanks again for your patience, and I remain available if you need anything else.

Warm regards,
Gael from Smiirl

Outstanding support following an unfortunate start.

Unfortunately my unit was delivered faulty and was no one’s fault. I don’t often update reviews but do think this one needs an amendment. Finally when Customer Service came back to me the support was superb. Very quickly a replacement was sent on trust that I would return the faulty unit. They bent over backwards to put right what had initially gone wrong, culminating in an email from the CEO. I may have been a little harsh in my initial review but this was in part that I needed the counter working for a Social Media event. Having had the unit successfully running for a few weeks I feel it only fair to reflect the outstanding service I subsequently received.

Hi Rupert,

I'm Gael, co-founder of Smiirl.
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback.

First of all, I’m very sorry for the frustration you experienced. Receiving a damaged product is already disappointing, and feeling ignored when asking for help only makes it worse. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have with Smiirl.

We did receive your messages, which all came in on the same day.

While we aim to respond as quickly as possible, especially in urgent cases, our support team replies personally to each request, which can take a couple of days.

I’m glad we were able to catch your request and get a replacement shipped in time for your event. I also followed up with you by email to thank you directly and stay available if you need anything else.

Thank you again for your patience and for being part of the Smiirl community.

Cheers,
Gael

I and the customers get so excited to watch the numbers click and move. All I have to ask is "Do you follow us on Instagram?" Even if they say yes, I say well double check because when you "FOLLOW", you make the counter move. The phones come out and Smirll numbers start moving! Its a Win-Win!!!

Really bad experience

Good afternoon, I don't even know where to start counting... I bought three Instagram counters, one was broken, another was broken and one worked.
I sent emails to several people from smirll, they told me that I would have to do a calibration to the machine took days to send me the email with the link and with the information of what I should do... I did it several times and it didn't work, I recorded a video doing the calibration and sent it by email they told me to pack and send it back... they sent me an email days ago with a collection of the ups I arrived at the collection site the collection was in us I'm in Portugal... some more emails explaining that I was another customer they sent me the collection paper with my name and everything was right I sent the two counters the party and what doesn't work even after calibration, they contacted me from Smiirl asking why I had sent two counters and if at the Chronopost station they had told me about overweight...
Result I bought three accountants at the end of May we are in the middle of July and I only have one I'm still waiting for them to honor the commitment to send me two functional accountants... communication with your company is too bad to be true...
The product is funny and I think it results in an increase in followers but they really take a long time to act on customer problems.... I'm still waiting for two functional counters today is July 11 and I paid at the end of May...

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. I’ve read it carefully, and I want to sincerely apologize for the multiple issues you’ve faced. You deserved a much smoother experience, and I’m truly sorry for the delays, miscommunications, and the time it has taken to make things right.

Our Chief Technical Officer spoke with you yesterday, and I’m glad you were finally able to start resolving some of the setup issues. We’ve also sent the replacement Counters your way, and we’ll continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure everything is working exactly as it should.

Please know we’re taking your feedback very seriously. Your patience, despite all the frustration, means a lot to us. We’re committed to turning this experience around and regaining your trust.

Hello Felipe,

I’m Gael, co-founder of Smiirl.

I want to sincerely apologize for the long delay you experienced with your delivery. The specific documentation requested by Chilean customs took longer to obtain than expected.

You waited 6 weeks in total which is completely unacceptable, and I truly regret the inconvenience it has caused.

To make things right, our team had sent a replacement package which finally came with the right documentation.

I’ve also reached out to you directly by email to check in and see how we can further improve your experience.

Thank you for your patience and for giving us the opportunity to fix this. We’re here and ready to help in any way we can.

Warm regards,
Gael

Hello MK,

I’m Gael, co-founder of Smiirl.

I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience and the lack of response you’ve received. That is not the level of care we aim to provide, and I understand how frustrating this must be.

Unfortunately, we were unable to match your review to a specific order due to the pseudonym used. To resolve this quickly, we’ve sent a secure request through Trustpilot so you can safely share your contact information. Once we have that, our team will do everything necessary to ensure you end up with the best experience possible.

Thank you for your patience, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Warmly,
Gael

Hi Joe,

I’m Gael, co-founder at Smiirl.

I’m really sorry to hear about your frustrating first experience with your Counter. I also tried to reach out by phone earlier and left a voicemail, just to let you know we’re here and ready to help.

Our team should have been in touch much sooner, and for that I sincerely apologize. You deserved a smoother setup and better support from the start.

That said, I truly hope you’ll give us another shot. We’d be happy to walk you through the setup process step by step. I sent you an email to book a direct support call with my colleague Romain, who’s amazing at fixing these things together with our clients.

Looking forward to hearing from you and turning this around.

Warmly,
Gael

Good & bad

The items look great but it arrived damaged, numbers were not attached, missing half of a zero abd very difficult to connect online.
For the amount of money we are spending i was expecting better service and quality.
The company still has not written back to me.

Hello Ty,

I’m Gael, co-founder at Smiirl.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m truly sorry that your first impression of our product and service fell short. Receiving a damaged unit and facing a delay in support is not the experience we aim to provide, especially for a product designed to bring joy and visibility to your business.

My colleague Veronika replied three days after your initial message, which is a bit beyond our usual response time.

I also reached out to you directly by email and was glad to hear that both your Instagram and Facebook Counters are now fully functional - and that our proposed solution met your expectations.

We’re committed to making sure your experience from here on out is nothing short of excellent.

Thank you again for your patience and for being part of the Smiirl community.

Warmly,
Gael

MEGA experience!

Our experience with Smiirl has been great since day one. The follow-up for the billing & delivery of our Facebook & Instagram counters was so efficient. Fast & secure delivery. Easy set-up via a user-friendly website. Doubts about an error during the process were resolved by email within less than an hour. Very friendly team whether by email (Veronika & Charlie) or on Instagram (DM). Our whole team is excited seeing our family of MEGA clients grow with Smiirl!

Everything has gone according to plan

Everything has gone according to plan! A custom-designed Google Review counter graphic was created for our Smiirl. It was shipped with care in a timely manner. And the unit is well-made and easy to set up. Our team is seeing the effort to do well and gain Google Reviews every day as they walk in and are around our showroom, and talk about it, especially when someone hears the little flip of the numbers. Thank you!

Great Service / Support

Easy ordering, really quick delivery (normally it takes some weeks to The Canary Islands), despite ordering a reconditioned counter, it was in great order, like new!

I did have a few issues with connecting it because of this, BUT, Veronika in the service team was incredible!!

We tried a few things by email, and when it still wouldn´t connect to my WiFi, Veronika booked me a video call with her, to walk me though it.

Within 15 minutes of the start of the call, I was happy to say "It works!!"

In just 2 days, we have seen a 200% uplift in our follows, as people see the counter and want to watch their follow tick over.

It´s a great talking point, and our staff are excited about it and mention it to our guests (we are a busy bar/restaurant in Tenerife).

Thanks for the support, I know if anything goes wrong in the future, I can call on the team at Smiirl!

Great purchase! Very Happy!
Highly recommend!
