Daily review count and rating drift. The blue line is cumulative review count; the dashed amber overlay is the rating on the right axis. Boring is good — sudden swings stand out against an otherwise stable curve.

What merchants praise
“I've been using Locksmith for at least 3+ years and it is a ROCK SOLID solution! It gives us the effortless capability to password protect tutorial pages of our site, and even a protection at the front end. I love that it offers many different kinds of locks - and combinations. The service from the developer has been exceptional. Same day response every time - caring service with step by step solutions from Jed the last time. Locksmith is a five star very elegant solution, flawlessly executed - I give it my highest recommendation.”
What merchants complain about
“After i've uninstalled it, some code was still present in my theme, and it was showing error for customers that found me via google. They could not access products at all, it was showing error. I had to install the app, disable it in the settings, and then uninstall again. Lost a lot of money because of that.”

Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
