Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSeasonal 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.
With Seasonal FX you can create mesmerizing effects to show your customers it's that time of the year again with more effects to be added soon. Decorate your store for Halloween, Christmas and New Year.
