This was super easy to use. I had everything set up and running for a countdown timer for a sale that we were running with in maybe 15 minutes umm everything is customizable on the free plan you get I think it's 1000 views and then you have to upgrade which is not a big deal there's no branding or anything like that on the free version it looks great on the site and I would recommend this for sure
Excellent app and outstanding support experience. We were facing an issue with our countdown timer placement on the product page, and Matas from the Essential Apps support team resolved it very quickly. He identified that the old timer ID was still connected and updated everything correctly without needing unnecessary access to our store. The app works well, looks great on our Shopify store, and the support was fast, professional, and genuinely helpful. Highly recommend this app to other Shopify merchants looking to add urgency and improve conversions. Special thanks to Matas for the excellent support!
The app has been working like a charm. I encountered my first issue today on view count after upgrading my plan, which was quickly addressed and resolved by Wendyle. The prompt response and resolution was much appreciated, thank you.
Fast response and helped me solve my issue
Had a question and the response was almost immediate. I was able to fix the issue easily - (it was a user error issue). The customer service was excellent.
Matas was extremely helpful and quick in getting my query resolved. thanks so much. it gives so much confidence knowing there is help whenever needed.
The application is simple to use with tons of built in customizations. The support team works at lightening speed and Sebastian had a custom tweak in place for us within 30 minutes.
Loving this app and all the options it offers. It has helped boost sales, and the support team is fast and friendly. Thank you!
