“Couldn't give this app or Justin a high enough review! Bulk editing is quick and Justin is Great! TY”
The Wood Shape Store · 5★

What merchants complain about

“Unreliable app. They force us to pay even though I installed the app when it was completely free. I've been using hundreds of apps so far but none of them treats their early customers this way :( My client (the store owner) feels disappointed at me as I told them the app is free to use.”
