NICE IS COOL ! FREE
All great
Great app, very easy to use, customer service staff patiently answered questions
It says its free, its not actually free it has a pricing plan like every other paid app. Dont waste your time if you want a free one.
Awesome customer service! I knew exactly what I was looking for in my announcement bar, but the feature was not available in the app. So the team went to work and built it. They will walk you through any issues until it is resolved. Shoutout to Muxi for his patience and perseverance.
