Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureThis app will give your storefront a more attractive look, with animated floating icons that's sure to catch your customers' attention and add special atmosphere during sales, promotions or seasonal celebrations. App provides your storefront with animated flying objects, partially transparent falling images, customizable object amount and effect colors. If needed, you can show animated icons only on the main page.
Seasonal apps usually make you switch effects on and off by hand. Festivify runs itself. Pick your markets once and it dresses your store for each festival automatically, on the right dates, then clears it when the festival ends. It nails the dates others miss — movable festivals like Diwali, Lunar New Year, Easter and Eid, plus Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
