Great little tool



Posted on 04 February 2026
Functionality
This is a handy and very useful little tool that does exactly what it is designed to do.
Ease of use
very easy, extremely versatile and customizable... This text is supposed to be "longer than 64 characters" so I need to invent some text
Support
If a problem arises—in my case with the display on mobile devices—the developer is immediately on hand to fix it.
Value for money
OK. No complaints!... This text is supposed to be "longer than 64 characters" so I need to invent some text to fill the space...
I used this to: For a ticker on a client's website at their request (using it with JoomShaper PageBuilder's built-in "Module" add-on)

Not worth 30$...

This tool can not used with news out of a category.
Of course you can use it for all described but you have to type in manually.
Ease of use
It was a mess installing it. It has currently 5 verisons. I 1. installed latest v., this only gave errors. Then install all vers. - worked.
Support
I wrote a ticket 1 day after buying the tool. I got no answer till now.
Documentation
didn't need one. After installing the whole versions it worked, but htis was trial and error because latest version does not work.
Value for money
I thought I can use it for news... and news are in common sense articles in a category. This tool can only use manually typed news. Poor.
I used this to: I wanted to use this for cliients website. After testing I will not use it for anything.
Owner's reply: Hello Neil Glenelg,

Can you please tell me what's your name or email in the purchase order?
I am trying to find order details by searching your name "Neil Glenelg", but I can't.

I really value my clients and never fail to give support. And I reply to each support email promptly, in minutes.
If I know your email, then I can find if I missed your email or you missed my reply.

Regards.

I tested several news tickers and chose News Ticker!

News Ticker does everything one would expect of a news ticker extension.
Ease of use
Very, very easy to setup and use. Since there's no user manual I just played around with the settings until I found what I liked.
Support
Had a small feature request and Rajesh added it within 24 hours. Wonderfully responsive support with multiple, direct, email communications
Documentation
Even a fairly simple extension like this would still benefit from a user manual.
Value for money
Very good value for the money. When I pay for an extension, I expect it to work perfectly and News Ticker did just that.
I used this to: A charity website to alert supporters of ongoing activities, weather closings, office schedule changes, upcoming events, forms turn-in deadlines, and so on.

Perfect
