I used to really like this app, been using it for years, but now it only works with AI. Even when you add things manually and start from scratch. Want to add a divider? AI will do it for you (while, in true AI-fashion, randomly remove something else you had added)! So disappointed.
support super réactif, efficace et sympathique
Fast response time when needed in chat!
This app is fantastic and has become a valuable tool for managing many of our website’s promotional activities. It offers a wide range of features that make setting up and managing sales, discounts, and special promotions much easier and more efficient. The customer support is truly outstanding, especially Judith! She
