Amazon 5 star experience with the costumer service! Quick to respond fixed the issue right away.
Fantastic app with really great customer support!
Having good success with the app especially given how challenging it is to use the standard Shopify Blog. This app makes beautiful looking articles that look very professional. Support has been extremely helpful in fixing issues as well!
This App is really easy to use, the templates available make creating and keeping up a blog a easy. The support is great, I had one little thing that I was struggling with and it was resolved very quickly. Very happy with the app overall, just what we needed.
Abby was so helpful in troubleshooting and we quickly solved the problem on my end. Thanks again for being so prompt and proactive!
Using it for years now - excellent app and phenomenal support.
It's terrible. It started of nice but became a nuisance very soon. As I started writing my image moved to the centre. and I could not move it to the top. I could not add paragraphs coz it kept sticking the blocks next to each other. and when I deleted the additional blocks it deleted the whole article. when I added a section it looked like a new blog article. 45 mins wasted!
Blog Studio is extremely glitchy and crashes constantly. The features are complicated and difficult to use, not straightforward at all. It deleted a blog I spent hours on. I will no longer be using this app.
Bonne application, même si il y a quelques beugs. Il faudrait aussi que ce soit connecté directement aux produits et collections shopify pour faciliter l'intégration des produits dans les articles de blogue.
Customer support team is very helpful and efficient :) The app is intuitive and user friendly however some functions bug very often :(
I just started using this app, but so far it is working well. Customer service has been really responsive and a great help.
It doesn't allow drag and drop at all. What a huge waste of time. This app is seriously the most frustrating thing to use. I'm going to delete it because it does not work.
Great app. Customer service was fast and solved all of my issues. The app does exactly what it says. Best one I found for customizing blogs
New to this app, but so far it's exactly what we wanted. The customer service is Amazing!!! Seriously, the response is so quick and they actually care! I'm excited to learn more about the different options and create awesome blog posts. Thank you!
Pretty good app, much better than the vanilla Shopify blog experience but I don't think it's very intuitive and it took me a while to figure out the best way to add new content to an article
Really easy app to use to create blog and articles to promote your products. The customer service team is super helpful and responsive. A big thank you to Jordin and Anh for always coming back to me with an answer ans doing their absolute best to help with any question!
Shopify's ability to format any sort of page is REALY bad. This makes it alot easier. There are somethings that could be improved-- for example, it would be really nice to be able to update sections and have it apply those changes to all the posts it's on-- but for the price, it's worth it. Also, the customer service is really helpful! I've had a couple of questions on how to add padding, etc. and they've jumped on our site and added code to work it out.
So far, so good. I can insert blocks, and create very custom blog posts that look great on any device. However, the app suffers from the restriction of inserting its code into the theme's template. So, for example, if you want a full-width layout, and the theme's blog post template only has a 50% centered layout, you'll need custom CSS to get it to look the way you want it to look. But that is not a fault on this app. This app works as intended, so far. Just be aware of the limitations. I used flowzy's custom CSS plugin to add the additional CSS. I wish there were a way to easily add related products into blog posts. Right now, it's very hacky and not automated.
Very useful app for making nice blog articles, with a cool tool for Photo Publish, paragraphs, and many other features. It worsts their money. I have to use the Blog Studio for 2 weeks.
AWFUL. no directions how to make it actually link to the website, how to add it to my menu. Spent THREE hours creating a post and saved it over and over. NOW IT'S JUST GONE. WHERE IS ALL OF MY WORK.
The app creates an easy way to design great blog posts for our brand outside of the formatting of the template in our theme. We did have some challenges getting the formatting set up within our theme but the support team was great and we'll continue to depend on this great tool.
i used this app for quite sometimes now, but WHAT WITH THIS UPDATE? ugly and i can't create a simple post without complications, i'll delete soon. Update: the support team was very helpful in initiating me working with this new version, it just needs time to understand the new layouts
When I had an issue that I couldn't solve by Googling, the support team quickly found the solution for me.
I HATE THE LAST UPDATE!! Ever since they updated their app it is so complicated I can't do anything! I have used this app for months and now after this update will most likely cancel if its not gonna be like it was!
Wanted to make better looking blogs in Shopify. This did exactly that, very intuitive and easy. Strongly recommended.
Simple to use. Doesn't have as much functionality as some of the more expensive blog apps, but so far that hasn't been an issue. Still has enough to create beautiful blogs. Their support has been quick and extremely helpful in giving step by step on how to customize things to keep on brand.
My oh my. What a wonderful experience I am having with this app. I tried out the top 5 blogging apps before deciding which one to go with, and Blog Studio is far and away not only the best but also the most affordable. Very clean features, super easy to use. This is going to take my blogging platform to the next level. (And a special thanks to Mandy and Anh for the amazing customer support I've received. You rock!)
The interface for editing the posts is a little bit clunky (it's easy to add erroneous blocks and spaces), but it is miles better than the native blog posts that Shopify offers. Support is incredibly quick and courteous, I would highly recommend giving this app a try if content marketing is an important strategy for your shop's traffic. I can't say enough positive things about being able to finally redirect blog visitors to my products inside of a post and the ability to add a table of contents for easier reading.
App works great. Tons of options for layout! really a game changer for us! Have only had to use support once but they were super easy to deal with and had the issue fixed very fast.
I recently posted a review that expressed frustration with the app. I have to say that the customer support was exceptional and they have sought to address all my concerns and fix them. I still think it is a basic page builder but after much research, this is the best option you will find for Shopify blogs if you don't want to pay for PageFly and Shogun (really ££££ if you just want the blog features). Great service. Give it a try and if you need them to sort issues they really will do it for you.
Great app with amazing customer support and an easy way to create content and highlight products you want to sell or direct traffic to. I looked for over a month to get the right fit for my blog posting creation and so far this is it!
I was able to write a blog quickly by using this app. Simple and easy to use. The staff is very kind. I am very satisfied with the support.
I created an extremely detailed article about making Face Shields and I couldn't have done it without this app! The graphic options are plentiful and I loved that I could easily create # links within the article so that I could create a table of contents. The page looks great on both computers and mobile devices. This app is going to get me back into blogging because I will finally be satisfied with the look of the posts! Thanks for an awesome App! My only request would be to have a multi-photo uploader, and a "zoom in" photo block (for example the image would zoom when clicked), but I'm very happy with it thus far. :)
Really great app! I tried a few others and Blog Studio is by the far the best I have found for really getting professional-looking blog posts on Shopify. Also, ShopPad's customer service is fantastic. They offer support through chat and the response time was within minutes. I had every question answered. highly recommended!
So far the app does what it says. I will say that there is a learning curve to it and when you implement it, there may be some changes needed to make it perfect. BUT what is most impressive, and maybe important is that their support team is super fast and knowledgeable. They changed the app css code to give me the exact spacing I wanted between sections. Not a lot of apps will change your code for you, especially within 2hrs of asking the question. I am still on free trial but expect I will move to paid version once it's up.
I really like the application, and as a beginner, I appreciate to be helped quickly when I have a problem. The assistance is reactive, I recommend it!
Pretty crappy and basic, it's like the 90s all over again. Don't waste your time. For example you can't add an image to every blog post, you can't really do much at all come to think of it.
I originally gave this four stars after putting together one article (which was tricky and a bit buggy), but once I saw the result on our site, I was not pleased. Different fonts and colors appeared in the post on our site than were showing in the app window. Headings that showed in the app as all in caps were not when seen in Shopify. The app is also still limited and needs improvement - We need to be able to add back in any of the blocks that are available... If you delete a block, you can't re-add it. It also needs some more flexibility, and hitting the backspace in the wrong place shouldn't back you out of the article in progress without saving it! I did contact support and quickly received a request to access my store to work on it. They reported it fixed, but when I previewed the article on Shopify, nothing had changed. This could turn into a decent app in the future, but currently it looks like they're trying to get people to pay for an incomplete app that should still be in free beta, for all its bugs and limitations. I am deleting it while it's still in free trial mode. If they make significant improvements in the future, I may be willing to try it again, and if it's better, I will edit this review.
Fantastic app! It makes editing blog posts easy and has lots of great templates. They even helped me with a custom request - awesome customer service.
cant resize images in blog posts. Fonts and spacing in preview mode is not what you get when blogs are published. Not worth it.
cool and useful when you get used to it. makes me spend more time doing it properly which is a good result
Quick and easy to use. Turns our blogs into stand out articles. Our brand is about story telling. Blog Studio enhances our stories. Thanks guys! Paul Raybould Founder & CEO Visionary Pet Foods
The blog template on Shopify isn't the best awe inspiring platform and the Blog Studio does offer a greater functionality. I did a "man thing" and jumped right into the app with very little reading about Blog Studio but there are plenty of tutorials, its just works !!
This app works well, when it works. I've found it pretty buggy to be honest. I publish a lot of blogs and it's not the most efficient app. Font sizes change on their own all the time. Sometimes the website theme setting are imported, sometimes not. It's annoying because you have to go back and change things. No auto save!!! Annoying if something happens! Also, a feature that would be awesome would be scheduling. Currently there is no way to publish posts at a specific time. This would be super helpful. As for as apps go, i find i really pricey for the quality.
Great for designing our blogs + making them look stylish + interesting. Helpful prompt support! Thank you so much to the team.
This app made my blog posts look great! It is easy to use and very affordable. This is the second app that I have used by ShopPad and their customer service is always excellent. They went out of their way to find a fix for a request I had quickly and efficiently. Thank you Alan for such great support!
Had some issues with the way the posts were showing up on my site. Alan with Blog Studio figured out it was something in our theme coding and quickly walked me through a fix. Very helpful customer service. Thanks!
We have been using this app for a while now and it's brilliant! A really easy way to produce professional looking blogs without the need for coding knowledge! The templates are beautiful and there are lots of options to showcase products within a blog. Most importantly, the app support is amazing! Both Anh and Mandy have helped us very quickly with queries, providing excellent help and advice! Thanks so much to the team, we love this app! - makememento.com
Customer service rocks! Super helpful and quick. I needed to have a few things adjusted in my blog format and they created quick ways for me to do it in the future!
The desktop version looked really great. Easy to use and looked fab. But when it published to mobile it was all over the place. Had to get rid of the app because more of my users are from mobile than anywhere else and it just looked second rate.
I've only done 1 1/2 blog posts so far, but the system is fairly easy to use, looks wonderful and the customer service has been top shelf. Thanks!
This really helped our blog look better. The user interface sometimes is a little quirky, but we got quick support to help us figure things out.
Our blog was looking quite drab. This app really gave us the tools to take our blog to the next level.
I started using this app for our blog, but found it would not display any images uploaded to its image template that had text across them. In contacted support, but found they were difficult to communicate with. Ultimately support claimed the app worked for them. The App is a good idea if it functioned and its support was more responsive
Downloading is fast, no coding, we start working immediately. The pages are beautiful and the overall use is simple, even when you don't speak English. I removed the application because I was mainly looking to create a blog home page with menu, which would be visually independent of the online store with its own menu. I put 4 stars because it's a little expensive but customer service is always there. Shirley
This is a great blog app that has some nice content block features, and very good customer support :)
This app is perfect for our blogs and podcasts we post to our shopify page. Also, the customer service and tech support are really great as well. When ever we have a question or an issue they get back to us same day and follow up to make sure we are back on track. Solid product!
Indeed you can customize the blogs, however they don't always transfer exactly the same to your Shopify website. They do not allow any sort of subscription to the blog or allow for comments. They do not offer any sort of archive page to show what blogs you have, and when I requested assistance with this, they mentioned I could hire one of their staff to customize my site for $16,000... I am hoping I misheard that... The staff is VERY nice but the service is largely incomplete at the time of writing this.
This app is way too expensive in my opinion. I recognize the work that goes into apps but this one should not be $180 yearly for what it does. It also has a weird feature in that you cannot save a blog post without it going live! They should fix that asap. I do think they have done a nice job of creating a bunch of layout options.
Whilst we are just starting to use this app, we are extremely impressed by it's functionality, capabilities, ease of use and most importantly, prompt & proactive customer service. Thank you for this amazing tool - it will make a huge impact on the value of the content we create for our business.
This app has no customer support at all. It is not easy as the video shows.
[Update] I had a problem with this app. I contacted the support and within 1 day it was fixed. Simply amazing. ------ I initially worried about creating good looking blogs using Shopify's standard blog interface. But this solves that problem with simple drag and drop interface. Great work
Awesome app for posting blog articles. Allows you to drag and drop content all in one easy to use app. Boost sales by adding in a collection of products within each article. Always a good way to build internal links.
Easy to use and install. Big improvement over the blog that came with my theme in terms of look and feel. I had to contact support for one quick question and they responded same day and fixed the issue for me! Great app
I've been using it for a week and have to agree, there are some real problems and omissions with this app. Support times are limited and the support teaching materials are not thorough or adequate. They don't even cover comprehensively. I have used it to format, then have to go back in through the standard Shopify Store app to tag, and make adjustments. $15/ month is a lot of money for something that doesn't do what you need it to do.
App is super easy to use and there's a good amount of layout options for you to build off. Way better than the standard Shopify blog editor. Can be a little buggy sometimes when playing around with text sizes, fonts, and images but not a major issue. Support is really great, they respond quickly and are happy to help.
I like it very much so far. It has some good options for allowing you to create author's credits that are not names of the people who have admin access. I think once you get used to the graphics tools they are easy to use.
We like the app. It is a good substitute to the regular Blog editor on Shopify, with more options and a better user experience I had a compatibility issue between my theme and the app, and the team took care of it quickly, which is nice. I recommend it.
While we are still in the process of learning the ins and outs of this amazing app... So far so good! Blog Studio is just one of those apps which happens to come along and you realize that you should have been using it ALL ALONG. Incredible customer support as well! Great job, great app, look forward to doing so much more with it for our business. Thank you for providing such a well thought out blogging app! www.clositherapi.com
I want to give it 4 stars but based on cost and what other apps can do in comparison it's a 5 star product. Does it work perfectly? NO...can it dramatically improve the attractiveness of your posts? YES!!! If you like WordPress or Blogger but want to post on Shopify and not a secondary website...try this app. We are using it to create a fun Q & A blog. Answering common questions about flooring. Instead of buying the content somewhere in our collection or product pages we will have fun and interactive articles that link to our store in a non sales kind of way.
It has some potential but it is useless at this moment. Crashes all the time, works slow etc.. Very frustrating.
Mediocre Software - Might pay 14.95 as a one time fee for the software, but $14.95 a month..... no freaking way. These people need to wake up charging these hefty monthly fees are apps that do little to nothing at all. I could do the same thing this app does in any word processing app and copy the code over, yet I am expected to pay more monthly than the entire MS Office suite cost per month, not to mention I get 8-10 fully functional apps with MS OFFICE. Don't waste your money on this software. By the numbers that $179.00 per year, $895 dollars in 5 years. Just to be able to publish a blog post with pictures. Good Lord...
Love this app! Easy to use, learned it quickly, and offers a variety of layouts. Customer service was quick and helpful when I made a big goof! Thanks guys!
Excellent app with smooth integration. Makes writing, posting, and tracking your blog posts quick and easy.
Very powerful and creates very nice blogs with a lot of layout and feature options. Takes a bit of experimentation to learn, but the tutorial article is very helpful.
We have loved all of the features in Blog Studio that make our blog pop more. I love that they have tons of different fonts and customizable layouts. I wish they made a way to store author bylines and there was a way to preview the blog without it being live. Other than those small changes, it's been amazing and our blog has gotten a lot more traffic since then we got it!
Beyond stellar support! They have a great live chat. Any of my technical difficulties were resolved within 24 hours. Worth every penny.
I'm loving blog studio for my Rug store, so much better than the Shopify editor, very well done
The user interface of the app is great. It is easy to use and comes with a variety of templates to choose from. Gives a blog page a very neat and professional structure. After sales experience has been great and it is pretty much instant. It should be an essential app for every shopify user. 5 stars..
I love this app. It is like having photoshop for your blog. Perfect. I enjoy testing new ideas and various ways to present new products. I cannot wait to see what the future brings with this beautiful app.
truly easy to use and 20 times better than the regular shopify blog features
Absolutely stunning, only suggestion would be to keep up the great work!
Thank you! lovely set up, many options, tons of fonts, as easy as wordpress or other blogging platforms you might be used to. My only wish was that it displayed wider on my site, but I think that is probably my template and not Blog Studio. No regrets whatsoever!
Love Blog Studio, very easy to drag and drop and make your blog beautiful. I would add an email field so people can subscribe to the blog.
Practica y muy facil de usar. Altamente recomendable en nuestro día a dia
