We tried a few newsletter solutions for Joomla. For us, this is by far the best. Easy to install, easy to configure (never once looked at the documentation), easy to use.
Absolutely love it. Can't find any problems with. Good job!

We are a non-profit with very limited funds. We currently use their free core version. That doesn't seem to matter when it comes to their service! It is excellent, and we look forward to the day when we will upgrade to their fuller commercial versions.
Great features and most Enhanced but little confusing due to too many features.
Of Course, It is understood when you have a lot of features then you should have a bit hand on it.
But i suggest when you come to familiar with this you will never to see at other side.

I have to say that Jnews works fine with the standard feature set.
Because I wanted frontend Newsletter creation, I ordered their Pro Version, as it was advertised being capable of frontend newsletter creation http://www.joobi.co/index.php?option=com_jcenter&controller=catalog&task=show&eid=86&Itemid=268 - but is just did not work.
After contacting the support their only solution is to further upgrade to the Social Version for another 100 bucks. I definitely feel ripped off, the featurelist definitely says "Create / Edit a Newsletter / Autoresponder / Smartnewsletter". There ist nothing to misunderstand, and looking at the forums, I am not alone ...

Hello consyder,
I have investigated this problem. It seems that there was an issue on the Pro version you used on the specific setting you had. The problem was corrected 2 days after we have been informed. I am sorry that our new support agent informed you wrongly and advised you to upgrade to Social version. That was definitely not necessary. Simply contact us again and we will be happy to refund you the difference between the Social version and Pro version if you do not want to use the Social features.
I just wanted to thank Diego for all his help in guiding me through the set up of this component. Their live support is to a level like no other! Do not hesitate to use this component for all your mailing need!
Would like to differentiate the rating for the programm itself as good because it does what is promised and excellent for the helpdesk/support both email and chat support.
I bought the PRO version of JNews. But after installing it (which was really simple) it turnded out that I had the wrong package. I sent an email on saturday and didn't expect a reply before monday. But instead I had a reply within 45mins!! with the right upgrade solution. 20 mins later I was upgraded to Social.
On monday I couldn't get the front end access working and contacted the chat support. This time again I was helped instantly and the problem was solved.
Great support which is lacked by too many others.
As for the software, it is as said very easy to install and setup. Templates can be amended easily and sending out the newsletters is easy.
I still have to finalise everything and send out my first newsletter to the registered readers. But I amd confident that I won't be dissapointed.

I found the component well done and easy to use since the beginning.
After a while a had a problem so i went to the assistance link which is directly in the component (perfect and functional idea) and live chat started in less than a minute. Support was professional and detailed in the steps to follow and everything was solved within only one chat! And consider that everything was done for the NON COMMERCIAL version.
Thank you so much!

We use jNews since 2008 and the result is out of our expectation. Those guys are there to give LIVE (real live) suport and they do it good. Upgrade is easy and fast. (like all of us I have no time to loose!!) Many thanks I recommand to every body your satisfaction wi be assured. Our newsletter goes out every week and special sent 2 to 4 times a week. BRAVO !
Excellent support! The component requires some adjustments. However, it is the best in your area.
This component is an excellent solution for newsletters. Installation and configuration are a breeze.
I use jNews on several sites.
Some time ago I had an issue with the cron scheduling. Not only did Diego provide the solution, but in the newer versions the problem has been dealt with.
Five stars for sure!
