One of our favourite apps! We use it across all our websites and the social proof really helps. Sample of how we utilise on www.gamory.com.au
The support from Asa and his team is simply AMAZING, and the constant improvements they're making to the app brings it to another level. Reasonably priced and simply WORKS.

This is a MUST have app for my store elitefitz.com . It shows my customers in real time, real purchases. With so many over saturated markets this is mandatory and so worth it.

I messaged with Asa today because i was having display issues and the experience was so pleasant and helpful. I even got a few bonus recommendations. Highly recommend.

WOW! WOW! WOW!

I don't usually leave reviews but I can't praise the app or the support enough, I got an instant response via live chat and everything was answered ASAP. They even helped me out with an issue not related to their app!

If you're thinking of installing this app then don't think twice!!!

Update after speaking with developer: they were really helpfull and explained a few things that were not obvious and that I misunderstood about how the app works.

For example: the app doesn't show reviews posted before the app was installed - you have to enter those in manually. It only starts collecting reviews posted after it's been installed.

Thanks for the help, awesome app!

_________________________________________

Initial review:
Doesn't work properly. After installation it refuses to display reviews even though I've set it to ONLY show reviews and not purchases - it still shows purchases and no reviews.

The notification format is bugged - it shows the full address of our customers (City, State and Country) even tough I've set it to only show the city - we do not sell outside our country.

Had to disable it for now.

Have submitted a support request, will update review later as needed.

Excellent support. Question was answered and Asa resolved in a flash. The GUI of this app is the most well-polished and tidy compared to all the others I've tested (Fomo, Sales Pop). This app is far superior. For starters, it uses first name, instead of the arbitrary "Someone purchased".

Excited to report back with attributable store performance metrics.

8.15.2017 Update: Just had another quick exchange with Asa and the support team. Big shoutout, these guys are very prompt and professional. Top class support and app for sure.

Worth the price!

There are few other apps like this one, few of them are cheaper but it doesn't matter.

THIS ONE IS THE BEST ONE!

Support is responsive, polite, and fast

Don't waste your time on other apps, I did test them and there is only one app worth installing RECENTLY 3.

Just installed this app after experimenting with 5 similar ones today. Recently 2 is the winner in my opinion!

I had a couple of questions/suggestions for the developer and they responded immediately! They are adding a feature to create specific notifications (instead of relying solely on orders from customers) which should be released sometime this month or next, which is exactly what I was looking for! They also listened to another suggestion I had (and actually were already working on it as well). So customer service, A++

The pop-up looks great on mobile. Unobtrusive and smooth. GREAT for social proof and suggesting products!

Being new to Shopify, this is the easiest app I've encountered so far. I've installed and uninstalled so many already because I just don't want to have to tweak things right now. But Recently 2 was literally just one click & it's already working for me! Thank you!

Update: Well Asa def squared me away. She helped me find what a major problem was and their app wasnt working because of it. Apparently a part of my theme code was jacked up and causing major issues. We got it fixed up and no issues at all! Definitely way better than I code the CSS as well as fix the positioning of this gem. All it needs to complete itself is a fade in not a fly in.

All in all I cant complain with the app. I love the little slider that shows up on the screen (its customizeable) with the image and a brief description of the item. It has never went down and support staff is always quick to respond and try to make adjustments that you ask for. They updated it so if there is no name attached to the first name it shows as Someone. Perfect

Used similar apps in the past, however Recently is by far the best. Full customisation & very reliable. More importantly, pushed conversion up. Thanks to all the team at Recently!

Tried out 3 different Shopify apps for my store (1) Notify, (2) This one - Recently, and (3) Recent Sales Notification Popup, and Recently came out tops! Using it permanently on my store now. I didn't want to spam my visitors with these popups, so any app I chose HAD to have a feature to limit the number of notifications it showed.

It had a good balance of price and features. Best of all, the customer service I received from Asa was simply amazing, turn around on replies were less than a day. He made customisations to shorten the state name, and optimised the mobile view all within a space of 3 days. *huge thumbs up*

Quick summary and ranking of the ones I've tried:
1) Recently - $10/month, lots of customisation options and has the ability to limit the number of notifications based on time of order.

2) Recent Sales Notification Popup - $5.95/month, lacked the feature to limit the number of notifications a user receives but it's the cheapest option.

3) Notify - way too expensive at $15/month, clean interface but lacks customisation options.

We'd trialed similar apps to this previously and none were without merit - some did the job nicely but were too expensive, while others which were cheaper, didn't have the customisation options we were looking for.

"Recently" on the other hand looked ideal, offering all the features we wanted while pitched at a realistic price.

We've now been using Recently for just over a week and have to say we're very pleased with it; it was a breeze to install, all those customisations were easy to implement and it functions exactly as we'd hoped. Nothing negative to say - no page slowdowns or any other adverse effects.

5 stars or 10/10 - well done Appifiny!

This is better and cheaper than Notify. More features, more customization, and you don't have to clear your browser cache to see changes. If you're still using Notify, you're doing it wrong.
