Essential Announcement Bar

I would not recommend this app to anyone. They put me through a really awful experience where they completely disrupted two of my sales pages just before I was due to go live to thousands of people.

They published a page on my website without my consent and made drastic stylistic changes that left the page looking like a total mess. All of this was done without keeping me updated in chat. They simply went ahead and started editing without letting me know what they were doing.

I had to send countless messages asking them to revert the page and received very little communication in return. In the end, I removed their collaborator access and had to fix the mistakes myself.

I ended up launching to my audience 30 minutes late, which created additional customer service issues and unnecessary stress at a really critical moment.

I cannot stress enough how disappointing this experience was, and I would never allow them access to the backend of my store again.

Edit after reading their response:

Removing collaborator access was not the reason they were unable to fix the issue. It was my absolute last resort after repeatedly asking them, through countless one-sided emails, to stop making changes and revert my website while they continued editing my live store without responding to me.

My pages had become so disrupted that I could not launch at the scheduled time and had to delay by 30 minutes to thousands of visitors. I removed access only once the site was finally back to an acceptable state, so I could protect my store and complete the final fixes myself. No business owner should ever have to take that step just to regain control of their own website.

It does what it says, and works well. The support team is very responsive and were able to resolve the few questions we had to get it working the way we wanted it to

Awesome

Great tool to have!

The bar worked like a treat. The only thing you cannot set it to end and automatically unpublish on the free plan so you have to manually unpublish it at midnight if your sale ends at that time. Good to hear you are always looking to improve the app.

Essential Announcement Bar is a great addition to our website. Highlighting key offers and benefits that our customers can obtain. The team and Matas specifically we're great when I hit a snag and needed help. He responded to my query in a matter of minutes! Amazing!!!

Couldn't recommend this and broader suite of Essential apps enough on Shopify.

Exactly what we needed, very customizable and easy to use and update. Sebastian was a huge help with the only issue that has popped up in our first year of using the app.

This app is fantastic! It's incredibly user-friendly and easy to set up, even for beginners. What I love most is the wide range of customization options – you can really tailor everything to fit your store’s look and needs. From colors to fonts to animation types, the flexibility is awesome. Highly recommended for anyone looking to boost their announcements and promotions with a professional touch!

My only issue is I was hoping icons would be available for the free version at least basic ones. Other than that, it's great

This Announcement Bar app is exactly what we needed – super easy to set up and customize. It allowed us to highlight promotions and important information quickly without any coding. Works perfectly and looks great on both desktop and mobile. Highly recommended!
