WISH I CAN GIVE YOU GUYS 0 STARS. You're running people's businesses down with your bad customer service and app.
literally the worst app on Shopify. If you have a serious business then you cannot depend on these people. They do not reply to emails and there's no other way to reach them. I contacted these guys over a week ago because their app keeps showing up errors and we lost all of our replies to customers because they were never sending. Up until today, none of them has reached out to us . but leave them an honest review and watch them reach out to you. Your customer service is appalling. UNBELIEVABLE

Hello AMEKANA.COM Team,

First of all, please, accept our sincere apologies for the troubles you had to face while using our app it was unintentional in any way.

I'd like to explain the situation to you that,indeed, at the beginning of this week we faced some technical issues which affected some of the customers' stores(as a result of that issue, they could see errors while trying to archive the tickets or send them, as well as the newly incoming tickets were not received in the ticketing system).
Please, note that this technical issue affected our side and system as well, to my regret.
That's the reason why your messages haven't been received from our side and replied to on time.
That's what we truly apologize for!

But the issue has been spotted by our developers' team and resolved within the day.
So now, I believe, you shouldn't see any errors within your ticketing system and the tickets should be received properly.

Please, notify us if you still see any errors from your side and I'd be more than glad to assist you with it.
We've already reached you via email and hope that we'll be able to resolve this unpleasant situation.

Once again, my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Looking forward to your reply.

Regards,
HelpCenter Team

In recent days, we have been unable to receive messages from customers via the "Contact Us" page.
After testing, we can't find the customer's message in the mailbox, please tell us what is the reason?
This has taken a toll on us.

I try to set up the mailbox in the background, and every time I set it up, I can only receive the first message.
Then, the background automatically restores the previous mailbox

Hello Creabest Team!
Please accept our sincere apologies for the issue occurred.
We'd like to investigate and fix this case, however as the app is already uninstalled we are limited in a help.

That would be great if you could give us a second chance to sort this case out.
Please check the emails that have been sent to service@creabest.fr.
We'll be happy to do our best helping you.

Looking forward to your reply!

Best regards,

Cant format text. I even tried formatting in word and pasting in the app but it changes the format. I had blue titles on one page, different size fonts, different colors, different types of font. this app is horrible! I wasted so much time and I gave up

Great app, easy to install and looks professional.. so why the 1 star?

Well, all was working great but my customers now cannot get past the reCAPTCHA form. I have contacted the developers who haven't replied.

I will change this review to a well deserved 5 stars for the app once the issue is resolved. Sadly, my 1 star for customer services will still stand regardless.

It was free to use at first, and I thought it worked well, but later it was charged, which I thought was unreasonable. I used a lot of information and content on the FAQ function provided by you, but suddenly changed it to charge, which is obviously unreasonable. Should be later to use the user charge, the old user does not charge. Now I bought a topic that provides FAQ functionality, and now I have to spend a lot of time migrating data.

Hi AEYEE team.
We're very sorry to read about the bad experience with our app.
Please let us note that we've been informing our customers about the changes in the HelpCenter Free plan since the beginning of December 2022. And starting from January 16 the limitations for the Free plan were applied.

None of the information was deleted - you can go to the HelpCenter app and review the FAQ section - some articles are just inactive (because only 5 active articles are available on Free plan). It's possible to activate them all with any other plan rather than Free.

If you'll have any question or require any kind of assistance you can always contact our support service - it's available 24/7.

Kind regards,

HelpCenter team

at first I was excited about this app. It had the potential to make my FAQ's page wonderful. However....... while it was seamless and I got things added, then added it to my store, there was a problem. I could see the headers but the links to the actual questions are not showing up. seems that the type color that shows up on the main page with the titles of the questions are the same color as my background (dark gray) if you highlighted the entire page you could see the questions and once you clicked on a question the designated color assigned to the type shows up.... but you have to know the link is there to do that. Makes no sense to assume that customers will know that.

NEVER USE OR PAY FOR THIS APP! We had the worst experiance with this app. The app is slowing down the processes. The support was not helpful. The best thing was: They delete your content on FAQ pages. Never ever again.

Hi 82NC!

We apologize for the issue in our recent update which resulted in the loss of some customers' content in their shops.
This was an unfortunate oversight on our part and we’ve taken all measures to ensure it does not happen again.

We want to assure you that we value your feedback and strive to provide the best possible service!
Right now the content is restored but deactivated due to the Free plan limitations. Please contact our support team for the information regarding restored data.

Thank you again for your feedback, we have drawn the appropriate conclusions and will not allow such oversights on our part in the future.

We hope our cooperation with you will continue and bring you only positive experience.

Warm regards,
HelpCenter team

I have been unable to reach support to work out how to make the page work on my site. I spent hours uploading the text, then I can see a preview of the page but not when I lead my site.

I used to love this app, but I just found out that if I want to continue adding new sections and categories to my FAQ page, then I'll need to upgrade to premium. From now on, the free version will only include one category and one section. This will basically force every user to use the premium version, since having only one section on the FAQ page is not very useful (unless you want your page to look totally unprofessional).

You say you will not charge existing users for the sections they have already created, as long as we don't uninstall the app. However, if we have some technical issues that require uninstalling and reinstalling the app (and we don't manage to reinstall within 48 hours), then we will have only one section on our FAQ page, just like new users, unless we pay up.

I understand that you need to make a living, but I'm quite pissed that you managed to ruin one of my favorite apps. If the free version included unlimited categories and sections (just like before), then it wouldn't seem like you are pushing your users to pay for the premium version.

Dear Polaris Baby,

Thank you for your feedback. We want to assure that all Help Center features and FAQ structure that you had before Premium plans launch remain you for FREE. If you need to change a structure or add more categories, sections to your FAQ page - you can add as many as you like for free in transition period (or if you'll need a prolongation of it - please let us know). And use upgraded structure now or later - according to your business needs.

We'd kindly like to pay your attention to app uninstallment and 48hours period: this comes from GDPR requirements and Shopify redact policy. It is general obligatory rule for all app developers to delete merchants and it's customers data after 48 hours when app is uninstalled. We understand the inconvenience that might be caused in such cases, but app developers have to follow these important Shopify requirements.

If you'll have any additional questions - please let us know (support@eoscity.com).
We'll be at your service.

kind regards -
Help Center team
