Soo many issue, need to talk with the developer all the time. Every time they fix on problem they create a new problem. I have been waiting 2 weeks on help with setting up "Coming soon" and notification sign-up with new orders.

I am still a user but strongly considering finding a new app.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that the issue took longer to resolve as this is pertaining to a customize theme therefore the standard app-blocks does not work. With your feedback, we had made enhancements to the app so that the app-blocks can work better with customized themes. Therefore we would like to thank you for that.

The app will start charging after 5 products, despite us having used it for years. There was no notification about the change in plan details, and now it's $300/year ($25/month). As a result, we have no choice but to switch to a better app available.

This app has a pretty big flaw that needs to be addressed. Basically it won't change the button to a "preorder button" if the user has a non-preorder button in their cache. In layman's terms, if the customer has viewed ANY other product pages (with their respective buy buttons) before going to a preorder page, they won't see the preorder button or button notification information because the normal "add-to-cart" button is still in their cache. So the app only works if the customer hasn't viewed any other products first, which is a fairly common thing. Spur-it only offers one solution which is, and I'm not joking here, "Just let your customers know to clear their cache" Yea, sure, let me just tell each customer to clear their cache before looking at a preorder item. Heck, the main reason for having a preorder Button is that customers don't read jack & squat, and need to be informed at the point of purchase, so this bug undermines the entire purpose of the app. It needs to be fixed before I can recommend this app to anyone because customers get REAL angry if they buy something and it doesn't show up when they expect it (which will happen if the button doesn't switch to a pre-order button and they assume it's just being added to their cart.)

The customer service team was responsive and listened to my complaint and says they plan to address this eventually, but until the app itself is fixed, I cannot endorse it. I hope one day to return and switch this to a 5 star review.

Since the management of the app changed, the support is very poor. No reply since a week, very disappointing. The app is full of bugs - deletes other products from the cart, you can't update pre-order items quantity. it's a mess.

Hi, We had checked our ticketing system but we could not find your ticket on 30 July. Can you resend your email to justin@amai.com ?

The app works fine, but we have some issues with the export feature and some duplications in the buttons. We have contact customer service and they have given us the worst customer service we have ever had. I am afraid we may be finding a new solution soon if they don't change.

I used this app as advised here and it allowed me to oversell products. It was a really nightmare to correct. The communication is really difficult with the developers. I would not recommend this app. It's been a headache. It is rudimentary in UX and design. I have been nothing but disappointed.

If I could give zero stars I would. I never installed this app or activated service and I have been getting billed for 2 years. I canceled this service once before when I first saw I was being billed and I am getting billed again. Be careful this app will continue to take your money even after you cancel service and you may not even know that you have this app active on your website.

UPDATE 7/1/2021: In order to investigate your claims, we had contacted Shopify for verification. We were informed that you had not uninstalled the app as of today that is why you were billed. I had sent you your history with the app as well as our correspondence with Shopify.

This app does not work corerctly and made us have serious problems, so pelase read carefully. And each time you contact the support, they say it is not their fault, it is due to the cache. But even when you clear the cache the problem is still here. Don't install it, you'll get into many troubles. First : the worse problem we had with this app is that we fixed limits for per-orders (according to the stock we were about to receive) BUT the app didn't blocked the orders after the limits were reached. So we sold 711 items that we won't receive! You can imagine the problem of contacting and refunding 711 customers and the bad image of our company that it gives to the customers! Other problem : the message that appear above the button "pre-order" changes very randomly. So, in may 2020, our customers could see that we will deliver our pre-ordered goods in january 2020 ! Because it showed the previous message. And even if you clear your cache, it does not change but the support tells you that if you browse on "incognito tab" you can see the changes... but who browse in incognito tab actually??. Another problem : if you need an export of your pre-orders (for exemple to identify the 711 customers to who you've sold unexisting goods because of this app), then it does not work. The export keeps loading and loading but you get nothing except an error message. And when you contact the support they say "there is no issue, it works on our computers" but the problem is that it does not work on their customer's computer... I've even read another review with the same problem. In short : run away from this app, you'll save time and money and will avoid deluding your customers and you'll avoid losing credibility.

Update 18/1/2022 - We had yet to receive a response from you despite several follow-up on the outcome. Do let us know if you encounter any further issues. Thanks

Update 13/1/2022 -As mentioned in our email, the app did not work due to code conflict with a third party variant selector app. Do keep us updated or feel free to link us up with the dev. Thanks.
