Perfect for quick updates
Exactly what I needed to post short updates across the site without issue. Clean design and easy to customize. And great fast response to my questions. Thank you!

Didn't work on my site
Installed the plugin on two websites, it worked on one and didn't work on the other (both set up with Divi theme). I contacted support and they didn't respond. Contacted them again a week later and they responded saying, 'there'll be an update soon that will fix the problem'. Not very helpful service, and really disappointed since I paid for two site licences and they had such good reviews. Using 'my sticky bar' now, it works, it's free, no hassle.

Don't download this
Don't waste your time: the free version will add an ugly 'powered by Bulletin' label at the left corner of the screen. Ridiculous advertisement space for such a simple plugin.

Works great
We use this together with WooCommerce and it works well. For short term info banners. Even with multilanguage with Polylang. Thank you.

Works well and easy to use - recommend
We needed an easy clean option that some mid-level users could also use for emergency banners and this fits perfectly. Easy install, setup and usage even for multisite. Id like a little more granular customization options, but it works great. Definitely recommend!
