No muestra inventario, no permite adicionar badges o imágenes de pago, la atención en servicio muy básica y genérica.
Nuestra pagina se pone lenta con esta App, y el soporte es bajo. Incluso tienen respuesta automatizadas, o eso parece.

*** Warning will add significant page speed penalties ***

I've had to re rate my review, The app works well - however it has been over a year now since I first raised with the developer their substandard backend architecture.

They serve their scripts out of a US based AWS S3 Bucket. Which apart from not being AWS best practice and is needlessly costing them extra to operate - it causes massive performance problems for sites outside of the US.

In APAC I have a 1.5 second page delay added to =EVERY-= page.

The worst part is, is that switching to a CDN (Cloudfront) as all great apps use and is essential in ecommerce is a 10 min job for them being already on AWS. The simply need to setup the CDN (5 mins) and change one line of code in their app.. Also as an AWS employee I've provided them the simple information needed to do this.

They don't respond, either because it is too hard for them to bother or the speed of your website (and their cost base too!) is of no concern to them.

Very dissapeointng. Shopify really needs to mandate that ALL apps use a CDN. It is basic web scale architecture.

Playing with the app I realized I can hide/delete the trust badges and then other badges even I uninstall and reinstall the app, even I pause and delete the campaigns. Nothing works and the icons and messages are still there with all the efforts. I tried to make new campaigns in order to overwrite the initial campaign but nothing works.
They treat me like an idiot (Sophie) telling me that is because of the browser cache even I send them 3 emails and they check. So money for nothing.

This app is not so good. Doesn't work well.
I can't recommend to use it as it mess up your theme design.

This is a nice looking app but has a couple of serious holes.
First off to me its a little dishonest as it suggests complete customisable functionality that you can't really test out until you spend $9.95 for the first month no free trial. Then it really is only 70% there with features that are half baked.
For instance the Get-It-By timer/message on shipping the product has no way to put in non shipping days like Bank Holidays etc which makes it not really useful.
The Sales Timer only works on a per customer basis and there is no way to set it to a global fixed time which for a 24 hours daily deal is useless. Then some functionality didn't support the theme I have which again there was no way to test before you buy it. Sorry I'm uninstalling and will be reluctant to add an app again with a trial. So overall not good sorry.

Edit:- Even more dishonest If I try to review this from their app page it won't let me post a 1-Star review.

It doesn't even provide actual bogo discount possibilities. It makes you use the shopify discounts, which limits you to having 1 automatic discount at the time. Very deceiving, as I only found out after having to pay 30 usd.

Besides that, why don't you offer the option to select products based on collections?
