Audioly ‑ Sticky Audio Player
The reviews are generally very positive, with many merchants praising the app as a clean, easy-to-use, and effective solution for showcasing audio on Shopify products. Several reviewers describe it as the best or one of the best audio playback apps available, noting that it fills an important need, works well for product previews, and is backed by responsive, professional, and helpful support. Some users also appreciate that the app is actively being improved and that the developer is willing to help with customizations. At the same time, a few negative points stand out. The most critical review highlights limited customization, outdated controls, functionality issues, and disappointing customer support, including slow email-only assistance and an unsatisfactory refund experience. Other constructive criticism mentions missing analytics or play metrics integration with tools like Meta or Google Analytics, and a desire for more advanced features such as multiple audio samples per product. Overall, the sentiment is strongly favorable, but there is room for improvement in flexibility, feature depth, and support consistency.

A Limited App and a Very Disappointing Customer Support Experience After using Audioly – Sticky Audio Player on my Shopify store, my overall experience has been negative, both because of the application's limitations and the customer support provided by the developer. Regarding functionality, the app offers fairly limited customisation options, outdated playback controls, and very little flexibility for stores that sell audio products. In my case, I also experienced functionality issues that ultimately led me to uninstall it. I believe several important areas need improvement, particularly the user experience, player features, and configuration options. However, the biggest disappointment has been customer support. Support is handled almost exclusively through email, with no immediate assistance available. Throughout my communications with the developer, I found the attitude and level of professionalism disappointing, and the willingness to properly address the issues was insufficient. After uninstalling the app due to the problems I experienced, I requested a refund for the charges. The developer agreed to issue only a partial refund covering the unused days after uninstallation but refused to refund the previous period, arguing that the application had been actively used. In my opinion, the fact that an application was installed and used does not necessarily mean it was functioning correctly or delivering the service customers were paying for. The situation eventually required the involvement of Shopify Support, and even then, no resolution that I consider satisfactory has been reached. I fully understand that any application can have bugs, limitations, or technical issues. What truly makes the difference is how the developer responds when customers encounter these problems. Unfortunately, my experience in that regard was equally disappointing. My rating is one star, mainly due to the combination of technical limitations, functionality issues, and customer support that falls well below reasonable expectations. I would not recommend this application to merchants looking for a flexible audio player with advanced customisation options and reliable technical support.
It serves its purpose quite well by only wish is that it provided play metrics that were detectable by meta/GA
