WebRex Multi Announcement Bar from Webrex Studio is a free app for promotional, countdown, free shipping, add-to-cart and email capture bars. It launched in 2020 and lets you set different content and designs for mobile and desktop.
Key features
- Promotional, countdown, free shipping, add-to-cart and email bars.
- Multiple bars and slides with regular, moving and carousel animations.
- Geo, device, page and traffic-source targeting, plus scheduling.
- Separate content and design for mobile and desktop, custom CSS and an analytics dashboard.
Pricing and trial
The Shopify listing shows a single free plan with unlimited slides, multiple placements, the analytics dashboard, contact, add-to-cart and free shipping bars, full design customization and 24/7 live chat support. Some older reviews mention a paid lifetime plan, so confirm in the app whether any features sit behind a charge.
Rating and reviews
WebRex has 4.8 from 271 Shopify reviews, 94% five-star. Merchants praise the free feature set, the countdown and free shipping bars and helpful support with customizations. Its six one-star reviews describe the app stopping working after an update, bars still showing for up to an hour after being disabled, an injected style that overrode a store's fonts and slow or missing support replies, including from a merchant who had paid for a lifetime plan.
Pitfalls
One merchant noted slow responses from the app's servers in the browser's network log. After installing, check page speed, fonts and how quickly changes and deactivations take effect, and re-test the bars after theme updates.
Conclusion
WebRex is worth trying if you want targeting and scheduling without paying for a subscription. For an alternative with a larger review base and a free tier, compare Essential Announcement Bar.
