After spending 3 hours trying to make my popup decent on my website I gave up. If you have a long scrolling homepage like 95% of people, then no matter if you choose a middle screen or bottom right pop up, it will never be displayed correctly. (basically it is displayed at the bottom right of your PAGE and not your SCREEN), the pop up is not "sticky". Therefore on a long scrolling home page it doesn't make any sense... Anyway, I finally gave up, uninstalled few hours later the same day, and despite asking for a refund, I still got charged for a MONTHLY fee, (for 3 hours of usage without even being to get the app to work). Thanks for the scam. Cheers

Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you were having problems with installing your POWr Popup. Please try to do an all pages install to install your popup as this is an issue with the Shopify theme that you're using on your site.

Super easy to use, just what we needed! The free plan had all the basic functions we needed, but it's really feature rich to enhance your business with the upgrade!

The worst of worst! Not helping at all, poor performance, ugly design and really limit functions! Don't buy, only when you want to waste your money.

I just added the free version to my store. Easy to customize and looks great. Will upgrade to paid version if it works well for a month.

The free plan allow almost nothing. I also tried other app from the same dev. , specifically the one to bulid "FORMS" and it is advertised as ok with Shopify POS, but it's not. I don't like this.

Wanted to create a simple mailing list sign-up pop up for my site, but this app was a mess. Not optimized well: mobile version was huge oversized box with a scroll bar. Desktop version repeatedly appeared blank. Emailed them for help/troubleshooting and received no reply. Deleted app and requested refund for the monthly fee. Developer declined. Bad app, bad customer service.

They continue to charge even after the app is removed. Even better they make this out to be your fault. They can tell if an API call is being made or to or an app used. Yet they stay quiet. There is zero proactivity to confirm if you either were having issues or if you were aware that subscriptions need to be cancelled. Not on uninstall, not anywhere to they offer you the chance or information to double confirm billing. Totally unethical. Why do you allow this Shopify? Why do you allow your app partners to charge outside of the eco system? Your customers deserve better than cowboy developers like this. -- Update Aug 9th. My response to them after they refund one last month. These guys are dead to rights guilty. It is their clear objective to remain quiet, not make this an easily avoided situation and wait for customers to notice as opposed to them being proactive -- G'Day Waylon, The issue is one of trust and customer proactivity. You setup a seperate billing connection outside of the Shopify billing system. The clear ramification of this is that if an app is removed, unlike most other apps, the charges don't stop and you keep charging. And you are comfortable with this? You are WELL AWARE of this as you have FAQ comments on this and instructing people what to do. I am sure I am not the first to complain. Since you are aware of this, it is even more disgusting how you have not acted to fix the root cause. Either by charging via Shopify, or automatically cancelling subscription plans when an uninstall is detected. Or sending CLEAR follow up emails instructing customers on what to do to finish a clean shutdown. You can clearly match active billing accounts to those with no API or data usage. A clear indication that the app is not being used. You could also further check these dormant accounts with uninstall records too and then either cancel the payments or reach out to the customer. You do not. It is such a truly horrible customer experience and a clear sign of where and how you value your customers. And it is also damming on Shopify to allow you to behave like this too.

The app began advertising an external porn site (instead of our discount offer) on my website overnight. Have had to remove and request a refund. It's obviously been hacked!

Tried to use this app and two SPAM pop-ups completely unauthorised by myself and directing my audiences to third party sites came up. Outrageous security breach and I'll be reporting to Shopify.

Thank you for taking the time to give us this feedback. We were made aware of a bug that caused this issue. We ran an update to speed up the loading of our apps and use better caching, but it caused a but where it was not handling the deleted apps properly.

Mad!!! A total mess with my store today... A popup with 15% OFF from our Easter Campaign appeared on home page: http://prntscr.com/ojd1l3 and could not close until the "Create PopUp" button is activated... In control panel there was no such popup at all: http://prntscr.com/ojd2vq, obviously was deleted??? When trying to "edit" the popup from the admin view of home page, there was the following error: http://prntscr.com/ojd3kn No chat support where you can get instant help for such urgent situations, so, lots of clients got this "Easter promo"... Same thing with my other store: http://prntscr.com/ojd8fs Removed this app immediately. Problem solved.

i am using it to promote a discount on selected products. It was/is easy to use and I am sure we will reap the benifits of the popup. Thanks to all involved for a great app. Chris

I paid for the "business" version. The pop up resets to the default reg pop with their company's logo. It happens about once a month. Not a good solution if you're driving a lot of paid media and depending on the reg pop for user acquisition. The really crappy part is that when you go into republish the pop up you get stuck in some upsell advertisement for their other products. These guys should stop trying to sell me stuff when i've already paid for a subscription to this app.

I tried for months and could never get the popups to post properly. The apps so-called Live Chat is robo-support only and is a waste of time, and when an actual human does respond, it's ONLY via email.
