No support

Functionality

Fine as long as you are a developer and you know how to fix issues.

Ease of use

Works out of the box as long as you don't try to use all the functionalities. I have issues with pre-loader. The spinner spins endlessly.

Support

You have to wait for the developer's help. Website says:Tickets replied same day! Unfortunately not true.

Documentation

Basic questions, not enough for troubleshooting and support is zero.

Value for money

So and so because they do not support their product. Seems they are dissapeared since April when I read their reply in another review.

I used this to: To make a PWA for a 4.4.9 website. To make it easy for visitors of my website.

Do not order - no support at all and they will charge additional money without permssion

Functionality

After fixing some bugs on my own, it works. But it requires custom javascript changes in order to work as it should.

Ease of use

Initial setup fine. There were some problems with functionality on products with iOS (loader spins endlessly when you press the back button)

Support

There is absolutely NO support. I wrote three tickets, and I get no response at all (I wait 6 weeks, still no response).

Documentation

The documentation only addresses basic questions, not enough for troubleshooting and support does not help at all.

Value for money

Be careful providing them card information - after 6 weeks they charged me additional fee without my permission for "Lifetime support".

I used this to: I used the extension to create a PWA application on joomla pages version 4.4.9
