As promised, here is my updated review. First, I gave them a ( 3) stars for asking me for a review without using their service. Now, is ( 1 )start due to nobody responding to any of my 2 emails I sent 3 days ago to costumer service. Costumer service is very important. If you have a service or want to gain new customers it is imperative that you respond quickly otherwise, you leave a bad impression for potential customers and users in general.

We appreciate your honesty, Smart Pattern Making. Your input is crucial, and we're committed to enhancing our response times. Thank you for helping us grow. 💪🌟
This app is very suitable for stores that need to have some options to upsell their products on their product page. while I am new to using this app I can tell when a developer makes an effort to provide the best UI possible for its users and for that reason and support available to users as well I will give it a 5 starts and hope they can continue to improve their app as well.
Still learning the tools but looks promising.
Terrible app. I installed it 5 days ago and sent them an email requesting to have it installed and still no one has taken the time to take care of this. I uninstalled the app and I will be looking for a better app.
The app works as intended now after a few tweaks. Unfortunately, we are in the process of updating our site and will not be able to use it at this moment but it works well and helps viewers to find things faster on websites.
We have used this app for more than a year already and we will stop using this app due to their pricing structure as they want us to pay them more money for the traffic we are paying to get so hard and not for the usage of the actual contact form which is crazy. None of the traffic we have received has used a single contact form and they want us to pay them more money aside from the regular subscription we are paying that is a ripoff. Store owners beware of this app. Their pricing structure is not based on usage even if no one used your contact form they will ask you for more money as they did with the emails they sent to us.

We are sorry you are unhappy with our clear pricing structure. Our pricing is based on website visits (not tool impressions or clicks). We are very upfront about our pricing and have not changed it in 5 years. You said yourself you have used our app for 1 year with no prior issues. We see you created 10 individual contact forms to use on your website (part of our service). It is very common to base app fees on site visits (because it is easy to compare with Google Analytics) We offered you 100,000 monthly visits for $29.99/month (save additional 30% if you pay yearly) but you told us to refund your previous payment. For your information, IF you upgraded to the new custom plan offered you would get an automatic credit for unused part of your current yearly plan. We will cancel your Zotabox account as requested in your first email and refund your last payment. We wish you the best with your online store. (if you change your mind, your Zotabox settings will be saved for future use).
Review Update 4-23-20 Support just told me that they will not fix the problem because they test it on their end and it works for them. What this tells me is that they do not care about you. This is just a way to hide their software problems and just keep saying the same thing over and over as robots and nothing is fixed. To finalize it all, this time they said to me via chat, buy or use another computer maybe that will work but we will not fix anything. You do not have a sales rep that can take care of your account but instead, they have chat assistants that have no experience or are incapable of fixing any problem with the software. I am tired of your nonsense responses and unwillingness to fix the problem on your software. Users of this app, if they are not willing to fix any problems you face while using this app why in the world would you pay or keep paying them for a service that is not working as it should? ----------------------------------- Review Update 4-15-20. I followed up on all the steps you mentioned below 3 times and still, it does not work. We should be able to check the emails that were sent to clients without any issues. Do not let the app to use our client ip address and say that it is a customer viewing our site when they are not. That is a bad coding or bug in the software. also, you never see what the customer put in their cart it just says it sent an email but you can not see what products they added on the email when they sent the email to the customer. We should be able to see what product was put on the email when we click emails sent to costumers. --------------------------------------- Be warned users of this app. The live view does not display actual users' name and it uses different IP addresses with different names which are not your clients. I have tested this app in the default browser and subscribed to several forms that I created using our default browser google chrome. After, explaining 20 times the problem, showing them screenshots of me browsing our site and then going back to the dashboard to check the live view to see who was on our site at that minute I found out that it displayed me, as one of our existing clients browsing our site when in reality the client was not browsing our site and it was using one of our client's IP address instead of my own IP address and displayed me as one of our existing clients browsing the site. They have told me to clear up my cache, my browser history, go incognito, subscribe as incognito etc...but even after having done all that 5 times they still can not explain why is displaying me as an existing client browsing our site when in reality it was me the one browsing out site at that moment and minute. Test it yourself now and let me know if that is happening to you as well. This is frustrating and not a reliable way to check real visitors on your site. Best, Tom

We are upset to hear you had a disappointing experience, let us make it right! If you click into an email you sent to your customer, you might be recognized as your customer. Nothing to worry! Cleaning cache and cookies fully, not clicking on your customers' emails and starting fresh on your store will resolve the situation. Xenia from our support team will help you out with the steps; we are positive this issue will be resolved soon.
I had a problem with Google stating that my site had a manual action to take and checked using JSON-LD for SEO structure data to find out if indeed there was an issue with one of my pages and sure enough 2 problems show up. I contacted immediately Eric from JSON-LD for SEO explaining the problem that Google was referring to and he was 100% correct in pinpointing exactly the problem and how to solve it. Happy to have this app on my site and be able to copy and paste any links from my site to check for structure data errors.
I had an issue with google with one of the script codes that needed to be removed from my site and Loox support team was very helpful at removing it as that was affecting my overall site on Google. My reviews display now properly and they are fast at fixing problems.
Very Promising app and good concept. I am rating this app 5 stars. Hope more updates come on its way. Anton has provided us with excellent costumer service via email. Hope one they they can have phone support as well as we have not seen any phone number yet to contact them. My feed back is we need to see on the dash board who is the latest member who joined our community and what they looked at a glance on the dash board. otherwise use this app is the best app I have so far seen that works with eCommerce stores.
