What merchants complain about

one of the worst apps i've seen so far 1. no help or assistance in getting green tick 2. unable to send whatsapp broadcasts on half the contacts 3. according to india pricing i need 7$ to message a 1000 customers, i had balance of 18$ but still unable to do so frustrating, random replies to every complaint, apparently half the numbers don't have country codes, i uploaded all the numbers without country code. i still don't have the reply to why i can't send messages while i still have 18$ balance. there are many better and cheaper options. seriously beware

The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
