Webrex Announcement Bar made our store way easier to run! It was super simple to set up, no coding needed. We can show promo banners, countdown timers, and free shipping messages exactly how we want. It works smoothly on both desktop and mobile without slowing the site. Their support is fast and actually helpful. It helped us get more clicks and sales during promotions — we really recommend it!
The app is extremely responsive and works just as described. I wanted the "DAYS" section removed from my banner and was able to reach out to their help desk and receive help within minutes from laxmi. They were also able to troubleshoot a display issue on the product page specifically that didn't show on the other pages. Great app, great people!
No Customer Support! App Does Not Work!
I've been using this app for years and it's been great, but there must have been a software update somewhere, because the app now no longer works, and the customer support is non existing.
It shouldn't take a 1 star review to get someone's attention, will update if they reply.
This app is exactly what we were looking for to announce promotions and news to our customers, and to schedule those announcements instead of adding and removing manually. The few issues we had (regarding font and bar placement) were quickly and perfectly by the support team.

What just happened? Out of nowhere, black bars appeared on my site. The settings were changed without any notice, and suddenly my website was misaligned. I had to manually disable it. Extremely disappointing!

Updating my review after 12 days of trying to resolve the issue. Despite multiple attempts to get help, there’s still no solution. I paid $499 for a lifetime plan, but at this point, I feel like I’ve thrown my money away. Honestly, it’s a waste of both time and money. I found that Scale Up Announcement Bar is a much better alternative.

Two years later, and I’m still dealing with the same issues. Do not buy this app. I deeply regret paying for the lifetime plan. The app consistently malfunctions—despite me disabling the bars, they still appear on my site for up to an hour. What’s worse, their support is non-existent; sometimes it takes over an hour to get a response. I will continue to share my poor experience here because it’s frustrating to see no improvements. If you’re serious about your business, do yourself a favor and stay far away from this app. We're finally cutting ties, and honestly, the money spent was just a waste.
Thank you for the 5-star review and for choosing our announcement bar app. We're glad it met your needs and that our support team was helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Would be nice to have an option where the timer starts for every visitor at the same point like every visitor seeing 2 hours remaining
