Information about Spaces: Follow Businesses
App Feature
A companion app for Wix-powered communities that lets you follow businesses, shop online, book appointments, join events, read blogs, and interact with groups—with real-time notifications to stay updated.
Verdict
Verdict: A versatile all-in-one follower app for Wix communities, best if you already engage with Wix sites, but less ideal for heavy mobile content creation or site management.
Who is it for
Best for:
- Customers and members who shop, book, or attend events with Wix-based businesses
- Communities that want a single hub for posts, chats, and updates
- Small businesses directing clients to follow, book, and purchase via mobile
Not ideal for:
- Creators needing full website building or robust mobile editing (use Wix Owner app instead)
- Power bloggers who draft long posts on mobile and expect rock-solid autosave/sync
- Users seeking a universal local discovery app not tied to Wix sites
Real-world User Experience
Users like it:
Smooth integration with Wix sites; easy shopping, booking, and event access; ability to read and comment on blogs; active communities and chat; generally intuitive once learned; notable app improvements over time; responsive customer support.
Users complain about:
Intermittent editor issues (e.g., keyboard glitches, small/misaligned images), draft sync losses during connectivity changes, occasional lag or resets when switching apps, inconsistencies between app and web content, limited account switching/log-out options, and niche feature requests (media controls, role naming, caller ID integration) not yet addressed.
Is it Worth Paying For?
Free with no ads or IAP. Worth using at no cost, especially if you already interact with Wix-based businesses. Any payments would be for the business’s services or a separate Wix site plan, not the app itself.
How it Compares to Alternatives
Compared to single-purpose apps (e.g., Shop for shopping, Mindbody for bookings, Eventbrite for events, Substack for blogs), Spaces is broader but less specialized. Its standout advantage is tight integration with Wix ecosystems—one app covers stores, blogs, events, and communities—while alternatives may offer deeper features in their niche but lack unified cross-functionality tied to a specific business’s site.
Summary
Spaces: Follow Businesses centralizes the customer side of Wix sites into one app: shop products with coupons, book and pay for appointments, join events and Zoom sessions, read and engage with blogs, and participate in member communities—backed by real-time notifications. Users praise its all-in-one convenience, steady improvements, and supportive service. However, mobile content editing can be fragile, with reports of draft loss, formatting quirks, and occasional lag or resets. It’s excellent if you already follow Wix-based brands or communities and want a single, cohesive hub. If you’re looking to build or deeply manage a site from your phone, the Wix Owner app or specialized apps may fit better.
