I installed their app after switching from another one that I had been using for years. I needed assistance with some minor modifications for my header bar, and Andy immediately responded and promptly made the changes that I needed. I'm definitely going to explore the full capabilities of this app and am very pleased with the service I received.

This app is incredible, does exactly what I need with beautiful announcement bars that are 'sticky'. The support is 10/10 they answer your queries instantly and will go over and above to get you the result you want, even if it involves custom coding. Sebastian from the support team was extremely helpful, thanks again, Diane

This App has been super amazing, especially when travelling overseas and essential announcements you want New Customers to know.

Tried several other applications this one works out the box, no technical complications, easy to navigate and lots of choices for banner location.

The bar worked like a treat. The only thing you cannot set it to end and automatically unpublish on the free plan so you have to manually unpublish it at midnight if your sale ends at that time. Good to hear you are always looking to improve the app.
