    What merchants praise

    Really happy with this app, I looked a lot for something that does similar but this is really the best and for the price it's a bargain. The customer support was so quick, I had some customising requests and they helped right away.

    What merchants complain about

    When i tried to install it chrome security alert stopped me and Sayed: "Dangerous site Attackers on the site you're trying to visit might trick you into installing software or revealing things like your password, phone, or credit card number. Chrome strongly recommends going back to safety. Learn more" As we know chrome sometimes makes mistakes so i clicked "Proceed anyway" And then the security alert of my internet provider stated the same and blocked your app and site... Its the first time i encountered something like that on shopify.

    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 .
