Perfect after sale service. Nice settings for currency pairs. I have separate pairs to groups, for major pairs and for cross pairs, like eurjpy and etc.

The extension is well coded and provides all functions as described, the support is very friendly.

There are very much options to change the view.
A little contra is that there is no intraday change in percent or points displayed, however this is an outstanding tool.

This extension was easy to setup. I had it working within minutes. I had one question and e-mailed the developer. I had an answer within no time at all. Also, I like the flag graphics.

While I had some assistance in debugging the code to fit the module to my site, Cristi's quick action was ultimately what put it to work.
I was not expecting a reply during the weekend, but Cristi was very helpful.
The module is beautifull!

Excellent extension. I had some issues with it not displaying properly on some browsers, but with Cristi's help we got it working.

My only recommendation is have more than just 3 tickers.

Thank you for your positive review.
The module can be copied to create several instances (each with its own configuration and data, placed in various positions in the page), so the number of tickers is virtually unlimited.

I am a novice to Joomla and this installed easily. The module itself is a breeze to use. Their support was fantastic, we had an easy and friendly email to resolve an issue.

Highly recommended and works exactly as advertised.

This is the only good ticker module out there so look no further! Displays the currencies, against as many as you need in a quick interface.

If one thing is great about this module is its support. I had emailed support about problems I was having and they were quickly solved and the bug fixed instantly!! This is a developer who cares about his products. A+++
