What merchants praise

Makes getting sale slides scheduled quick and easy. And best yet, if there is a feature that you think should be there and would like to be there, they are quick to get it added. I wanted to control the speed of the auto slide and wanted to toggle the "pause on hover" off but it wasn't available in the options. One contact request later and both options were added within a few days. Quick responses and a pretty handy tool. No complaints.

What merchants complain about

This app is incredibly basic and has weird restrictions on the scheduling of banners. If you don't need to switch out banners very often then this basic app will work. If you do have to switch out or re-order your banners often then this app is quite cumbersome to use. To re-order slides you have to delete the slides and completely re-do them in a different slide order.
