What merchants think

Merchants highly recommend this app for its effectiveness in boosting sales and growing email lists, ideal for small to medium-sized businesses. It features customizable pop-ups, email, and SMS marketing tools like spin-the-wheel, which have notably increased email subscribers and conversions. The app integrates smoothly with Shopify, offers a user-friendly interface, and provides exceptional customer support, including live chat and Zoom assistance.

Unfortunately, we are experiencing issues with the pop-up during Black Friday, and the first-line support team doesn’t seem willing to fully understand the problem or take the time to resolve it. It’s been over 48 hours, and all we’ve heard so far is: “Yes, the pop-up appears.”

We are already aware that the pop-up appears, but what we need is an analysis of *why* it is showing up more than 1,000 times with a 0% subscription rate. Additionally, we are receiving emails from customers reporting errors after signing in.

Could someone from the complaints department please review this ticket?

I had high hopes for this $40 app, but it was a complete disappointment. First, their live chat button didn’t work when I needed help. When I finally got a response from Alex, they suggested hopping on a call—but I’ve done that before, and it was just a sales pitch to get me to upgrade. I asked if this call would actually help solve my issue, but Alex never replied.

The app ended up conflicting with my theme’s coding and ruined a launch—items weren’t showing up in the designated collections! I uninstalled it after just 4 days because it was unusable. I requested a refund, but no one has responded. $40 down the drain for an app I couldn’t even use. Terrible experience.

I've had many technical issues with the app that is yet to be resolved, and find their billing very confusing.

I used this app for long years for my business until about a month ago. Had huge problem on my last products launch. On the launch day, emails weren't being sent to my customers. I reached out to them and I only heard back a day later with no solution. It cause me great loss. I left after years super unsatisfied having the loss. I don't recommend.

Terrible terms and conditions and too expensive.

I subscribed for a $105 plan, it was working fine but I found similar apps are much and works the same. So I decided to unsubscribe it before they charge me for the next cycle, and they terminate everything instantly. While I had so many other subscriptions, usually they would still let you to use till the next cycle. This is the first time they terminate it instantly. I still have more than two weeks left , talked to CS, no help. They said it's in their condition, wasted my money.

Very hard to use and make changes. took me so much time to edit everything and it also changes things by it self. I still can't believe I wasted so much time to edit simple things. If I didn't have my follow up emails setup already will remove the app right away

Privy wasted a month of our time! We initially used Privy because their sister company, Attentive, told us we were too small to use their platform. They recommended we use Privy instead. We signed up with Privy but after a month of using their platform they informed us we couldn't use their SMS feature because of the industry we're in. SMS newsletters was the reason we even switched to Privy. You would think they would screen new clients and let them know if there were any issues, but no we wasted a month of getting all of our contacts migrated over, setting up automations, etc. A month of work down the drain, but Privy got their fee. Thanks A LOT Privy (and Attentive). Now we're back to square one. Avoid this company

So far it looks pretty easy to use but only had it for 5 minutes. Will review later.
Has capabilities but there is no help/assistance - they promise you all kinds of help and service -
don't bother - find another app
