Appikon ‑ Back In Stock

We’ve been relying on this app to send Back In Stock notifications for a major product launch, a critical moment for our business. Their system completely failed to send the mass emails, leaving thousands of customers uninformed and resulting in significant revenue loss.

Despite identifying the issue ourselves and repeatedly explaining it to their team, we were ignored for days. Only after they fixed another unrelated bug did they finally acknowledge the very problem we had flagged from the start, without so much as an apology or recognition of our earlier reports.

It’s now been over four weeks, and the app still isn’t working properly. We’ve lost tens of thousands of dollars in sales due to their negligence and lack of communication.

If your business depends on reliable notifications or responsive support, stay far away from this app. It’s been one of the most frustrating and costly experiences we’ve had with any Shopify integration.

The app has not been able to export our data after 4 months forcing us to integrate and pay a new app
No answer or support

Terrible customer service. The email service has not worked for over 2 weeks and they have left us hanging loosing a lot potential sales after a big restock... Wont trust them in any of their future apps if this is the way of operating.

Attention aux facturations abusives !

Nous utilisons cette application depuis un certain temps et plus de 3 000 dollars nous ont été facturés à tort principalement pour des SMS soi-disant envoyés, alors que :

1. Nous n'avons JAMAIS dépassé les limites d’envois affichées sur l’application
2. En janvier 2025, l’équipe nous a assuré par écrit que les SMS étaient désactivés pour notre compte.
Pourtant, en mars 2025, plus de 400 dollars de frais SMS nous ont encore été facturés !

Les tarifs ne sont ni clairs ni accessibles, et il est impossible de désactiver complètement cette fonction depuis l’application. Ils rejètent la faute sur shopify en vous faisant croire que c'est Shopify qui facture les SMS.

Nous considérons cela comme de la fraude pure et simple. Des remboursements ont été refusés malgré les preuves, et nous avons engagé des poursuites judiciaires.

Vérifiez vos factures ligne par ligne. Cette application facture en toute opacité et rejette la faute sur les utilisateurs.

Appikon has decided to close down this app, with no support for exporting any data. They have also not preemptively notified customers that they are shutting down. Only when I reached out to their support about some issues we found they told us about their plans to shut down. Do not use this app.

Update 2: Customer support is now completely ignoring the messages and unwilling to look into what caused our issues. This has made me look for another app. It is pretty good while it works but when it doesn't, good luck.

Update 1: App randomly stopped working for one month (not showing the sign up for restock button). We were not notified, hadn't made any changes to theme for months. We contacted support, and while the issue was resolved shortly, they are unwilling to investigate what caused this issue nor they are willing to give us 1 free month for which the app did not work as a compensation. Overall communication with support has been very subpar and disappointing.

ORIGINAL: One of the first apps I recommend to anyone with new Shopify store as it always pays for itself. The integration was perfect for our theme and it just works, looks great and offers also Facebook restock notifications which is awesome. The interface could a bit more simpler ar places but since it's an app that just does it's job in the background, it works amazingly.

Worked perfectly for years - then out of the blue stopped sending notifications - I shudder to think about how much revenue we have lost due to this. Support was USELESS in assisting with anything. Switched to another App.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE - DO NOT RECOMMEND. This app malfunctions constantly. During two key product launches for my ecom site, this app malfunctioned, negatively impacted on my launch and causeING myself and my team immense stress. On launch night 1, the automated "notification" button stopped working, when we added products for the launch into stock. So at launch time, the wait list that we had built up and promoted for weeks to be notified and launch and get early access, was not notified. After trying to figure this out for 30 mins, I eventually had to give up and manually export the wait list data to separate SMS and EDM platforms and contact these wait list people individually myself. Because of this, I lost faith in keeping the "automate notifications" button ticked on the app, so I turned it off, prepared to manually play out the same process for future launches. Come to launch 2, this time, the app would not allow me to export ANY data. The "export CSV" function was not working. So not only could I not automatically notify the wait list, I now also couldn't manually notify the wait list. Both times, customer service told me they would "pass this on to the developer" as priority, I got no timeline, no urgency, and never any response or resolution. Thank god I didn't wait around for their help team to fix the problems on these launch nights - because they never did. I had to download a Google chrome plug in and manually scrape MY data off the app. Terrible functionality. Terrible service. Unreliable. Incredibly frustrating for businesses who rely on wait lists and spend a lot of time and money into building this lists, only for this app to ruin your entire marketing and launch strategy, not once, but twice. I have now deleted the app as my business and livelihood rely on a wait list strategy.

App has been broken for over a month + the customer support team stopped responding two weeks ago. The purpose of this app is to send restock emails, and it cannot do that. Last I was told, they were banned from their email client, and most of their customers probably still don't know everything stopped working.

We are going through an extensive ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance update to our Shopify site and this is the only app that has not been helpful or had any resolutions or capabilities to bring the App and it's functionality when integrated, to comply with the American Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG); Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
