Update: This issue seems to finally be resolved (within a few hours of posting a review). Once we've had a chance to test it in a real-case scenario with a multi-sku restock we will update our review. We've been using this app for several years. It has been great...until recently. For some reason the app now requires a wait of several hours before the inventory numbers sync and "stick" between Shopify and the app's system and results in the BIS alerts not being sent when triggered manually. This causes multiple issues and prevents us from really using the app (that we are paying a pretty hefty fee for!) to its full potential. It makes it extremely difficult to time promotions, etc that are related to restock events. We have been in contact with the developers about this issue for the last 6 weeks. They have finally acknowledged that the issue exists, but have still not been able to resolve it. We've spent countless hours trying to get to the bottom of the issue and create work-arounds for a service we're paying the app to do. If they are not able to resolve soon we will be exploring other options.

They offer a 30 day trial period, which is great. Description says "Works with Shopify Locations." ... maybe... if you upgrade to $99/mo... then we think this feature just Notifies your customers in different locations when an item is back in stock. We do not think this app works with Shopify's multiple warehouse Locations... For example: we only want app to show Notify for a specific warehouse location that is out of stock, such as our EU warehouse, but not a warehouse that has product in stock, such as our USA warehouse... we do not think it will do this even if you pay $99/mo. Also, we wanted to uninstall app code that the developer added to our web site, but app does not do it automatically and developer will not uninstall code if you decide you do not want their app... they just sent us a web site address on how to do it ourselves... we are not sure we would have even tried their app if we would have known this :(
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. With the Multi-location feature, our app will identify your online inventory across locations. If the product is back in stock and available for online sale, the shoppers will be notified so they can revisit your site and complete their purchase. This would eliminate the possibility of sending out a notification to an online customer when a product is not actually available for online purchase. Our team has already reached out to you to understand your use case better and help you in the best way possible. Also, we lose access the moment you uninstall the app and that prevents us from automatically cleaning up all our files - am sorry about that but it's, unfortunately, a limitation where we have very little control. We had received your approval for our collaborator access request via Shopify. We have now removed all the remnant codes/snippet files from your theme. In case if you would need any further assistance simply drop a note to us at [email protected] and we would be happy to help!

**Second Update** Only after changing my original glowing review and leaving the review below, Swym decided to try to help me. They were very cooperative and helpful, and I am happy to say it is now working properly once again, so I will keep my subscription as it works very well for my store. I'm just disappointed that it took me leaving a less than glowing review to get them to be responsive. **Update** I originally gave this app 5 stars; I have an issue and the app is not working and they say they cannot fix it. Will be canceling my subscription; I'm so disappointed.
