I've had many technical issues with the app that is yet to be resolved, and find their billing very confusing.

Unfortunately, we are experiencing issues with the pop-up during Black Friday, and the first-line support team doesn’t seem willing to fully understand the problem or take the time to resolve it. It’s been over 48 hours, and all we’ve heard so far is: “Yes, the pop-up appears.” We are already aware that the pop-up appears, but what we need is an analysis of *why* it is showing up more than 1,000 times with a 0% subscription rate. Additionally, we are receiving emails from customers reporting errors after signing in. Could someone from the complaints department please review this ticket?

I had high hopes for this $40 app, but it was a complete disappointment. First, their live chat button didn’t work when I needed help. When I finally got a response from Alex, they suggested hopping on a call—but I’ve done that before, and it was just a sales pitch to get me to upgrade. I asked if this call would actually help solve my issue, but Alex never replied. The app ended up conflicting with my theme’s coding and ruined a launch—items weren’t showing up in the designated collections! I uninstalled it after just 4 days because it was unusable. I requested a refund, but no one has responded. $40 down the drain for an app I couldn’t even use. Terrible experience.

Terrible terms and conditions and too expensive. I subscribed for a $105 plan, it was working fine but I found similar apps are much and works the same. So I decided to unsubscribe it before they charge me for the next cycle, and they terminate everything instantly. While I had so many other subscriptions, usually they would still let you to use till the next cycle. This is the first time they terminate it instantly. I still have more than two weeks left , talked to CS, no help. They said it's in their condition, wasted my money.

SCAM ALERT Check your billing statements. I've used this app for years without issue. A few months ago, I had an issue where all of a sudden my photos in my pop-ups had disappeared. I reached out and they told me I deleted them (I didn't and they were the same photos I had used for about 2 years.) They couldn't figure out why it was freezing and not allowing me to add another photo where the original went missing. I accepted a "collaborator request" so they could fix it, and they did. What I didn't realize was that since then, both of my websites have TWO recurring charges EACH for this app: $15 and $15 on one website, and $45 and $15 on another. I've been spending $90 on this app that is supposed to cost $15 for the basic plan. I don't know how I didn't notice sooner, so that's on me, but I'm surprised Shopify is allowing them to continue to scam people by adding the app multiple times. I've used this app for around 4 years across multiple other accounts without issue, including these two websites. All this began only a few months ago. If you've added them as a "collaborator request" to fix something, run and check your billing statements. I have 10+ years of Shopify use under my belt and have built around 12 websites. I did NOT download this app multiple times and agree to be billed multiple times a month. I have only ever used the basic version of this for a simple email pop-up: no marketing emails, nothing else they offer. SCAM
