What merchants praise

“I'm pleased...I've used my own message which appears when someone hovers over an image. It's done very tastefully. I feel that my images are now safe.”

What merchants complain about

“I feel stupid for being quick to trust this app and give it my money by upgrading immediately, there were a lot of issues and features not working but I trusted that they will try to fix them or at least respond. Gave them the benefit of the doubt that they might be busy and waited over a week, crickets. Don't want my money, cool. I'm out.”

Methodology

Where the numbers come from.

Ratings, review counts, pricing tiers, “Built for Shopify”, launch date, and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. 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 yesterday.
