What merchants praise

Seriously, thank you and wow! I have been going crazy trying to get my videos to autoplay with the Sense theme. It's like if you don't have Dawn, no one can help adjust the code. I have wasted so much time trying to figure this out and I can't figure out why Shopify made autoplay so difficult. Well, problem solved!!! Seriously, this app is a quick download, you turn it on, and then your videos autoplay. Completely worth the small cost for this app. If you've been crazy like I was, your solution is right here. So grateful!

What merchants complain about

man i wish this app worked correctly. hide controls doesn't work they are still there, very ugly for what im trying to accomplish. i found a video on youtube that accomplishes what im looking for, but its a alot of work adding a section in the code library creating some custom css. id rather sprnd an hour for each video then put up with what this app claims but way under delivers on.
