What is Social Bar: Social Media Icons?
This GoodApps social icons tool is a free, simple app for adding social media links and share buttons across a storefront, with flexible placement in header, footer or any custom section. It shows a 4.8/5 rating, but on only 36 reviews, making it one of the newer and less-tested apps in this batch. It's completely free. It's developed by GoodApps, based in Lviv, Ukraine, and launched in September 2024.
How does the app work on a Shopify store?
Merchants let visitors share content with one click, choosing from multiple layout options and styling icons to match the storefront design. Placement covers footer, header, hero section, homepage, landing and product pages. It covers 3 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese) and connects to Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and X.
Why choose this app over another social icons app?
Worth being direct here: one detailed recent review describes the app as "raw and buggy" with a largely non-functional AI preview feature, no Instagram support despite Instagram being one of the most requested platforms, and support limited to bot responses rather than a human. That's a meaningfully different picture from the two very short, generically positive reviews also on the listing. Given the small review count (36) and this specific negative account, hands-on testing before relying on this app for a live storefront is especially warranted here, more so than for the other, more established apps in this batch like Dakaas or Avantify.
What are the 3 main features of the app?
- Free social icon and share button placement, across multiple page sections.
- Mobile-responsive design, styled to match store branding.
- Multiple layout options, for header, footer or custom sections.
