MICHE review for Discount Ninja Promo Engine

Dec. 2, 2023

Been with this app for over a year now. There is good and bad. First the pros: 1) This app is several apps rolled into one. 2) Lots of promos to choose from. 2) Affordable. 3) Customizable. 4) Help desk is around for basic issues. 5) Help desk will get back to you timely, even when they are "not online", again for basic issues. Now the Bad: 1) Not user friendly to install. You will need help and they will charge you for it. Our theme just updated causing me to loose my "Dynamic Pricing" features and I have spent 2 hours trying to reinstall it myself, but can not get it work properly. Help desk that handles this is only available M-F to do this, so no matter what I have to wait and will have to pay to have this done every time I have a new theme update come through. 2) Next, some of the promos do not work the way you think they do. Their verbiage can be very confusing and misleading. Limits do not work correctly based on how they have explained it. Caused us to loose out on more sales. 3) On the busiest day of the year, on BF, they had a coding error in one of their promo features, which caused it to malfunction and freeze our site. Took them all day to fix it. I get it, stuff happens, but should not be happening on the busiest day of the year. 4) Unless you are in front of your computer when you need to do an update or change a promo on the fly, you are out of luck. This app is not compatible with a tablet or a mobile device. If you are tech savvy , know coding and can decode what it is they are trying to say in all their parameters, then this is a good app to be on. But, if you are a newbie and need something simple and easy to just get the job done, I do not recommend. I fall in the middle of the two and I am just really frustrated with all that has gone wrong in the past several days with this app.
