Superb little app. It's very handy, I use it all the time and it works very well.
Very effective application. Deserves 5* +. To recommend!
It’s great to get images quickly optimised. But BEWARE. After days of work optimising all the alt descriptions manually, this app wiped out all my hard work and rest it. So although it was great in the beginning, it’s actually ended up costing me days of lost work and effort. Totally gutted. I would suggest only loading this app if you are intending never to optimise the images yourself. OR immediately uninstalling it once you’ve let it do the initial optimisation.
Wonderful. It works! Wish I googled this sooner.
Works as advertised. I asked for a new feature to distinguish multiple images for a single product so they don't all have the same alt text. This way, Google would know they are different. They added the feature in less than 24 hours. Great.
Does what it's supposed to do - I heard Shopify's Director of Product discussing the functionality of this app as something they would like to offer in the future on the "Shopify Masters" podcast, but this app offers auto-generated Alt text already. Too bad it can't also pick up on images added to the description. Other than that a great app and a great price.
For now everything is perfeckt! Saved me tons of time, optimized around 3 000 images in less than hour.. All in 3 clicks. Great work
This app saved me hours of time! My shop has over 200 products, and alt text was added to every photo within minutes.
Super easy to use, just install, play around with the parameters you want to use for your alt text then all your images are updated within around 30-60 mins! So good to know it runs daily so if we add new images it's not ever something we need to worry about.
What a great service, especially for accessibility. I can not even imagine how long it would have taken us to do this ourselves. And the best part is it does not touch our themes.
Great App, this is a must-have for all Shopify sellers out there! your images will get optimized in seconds!
Truly a life saver. It helped me add Alt Text to at least 3000 different photos in less than 15 minutes. This would have taken me weeks. I also had some questions & custom service did message me back within a few hours. Usually with app companies they can be about 48 hours to respond (even the good ones & Im OK with that). But I was so shocked how quick they responded!
I recently migrated to Shopify from Wix. My Alt text tags didn't come over with my products. I was reluctant to spend hours reentering tags to help with my SEO. Alt Text was a great choice to take care of this for me in just a few minutes. It worked well, and I didn't need help with the process. I also appreciated that it suggested I back up my site first.
This app make it possble in only few seconds the work of months. i just would like to add the product sku but i couldn
FANTASTIC APP. Worked so well and we checked it after it said done and it had done it's job. Only question is - it says it periodically updates - how often is "periodically"?
This app saved me so much time! I just set up a quick template and hit optimize and the app did the rest. Hoping to see a boost in image SEO soon.
The set-up process is quick and easy. However, I think your website's product titles and types have to be structured properly for this to work. Time will tell.
I've been using this Alt Text App for nearly 6 months now. This is a great app that has saved us an extraordinary amount of time. Alt Text is extremely important for various reasons and we have more than 10,000 items in our store. Writing Alt Text manually and maintaining the Alt Txt with newly added items would be a full time job and very expensive. This app has been invaluable and so easy to use that literally a 7 year old child can setup the template and automate the work. I highly recommend this app. I also ask one question on how to check the Alt Text - I got a response back very quickly so the support / help was also excellent. Thank you.
This app could not have been easier to use and saves the tedious work of adding alt text to each image. So happy that we found it. Thank you!!
There was a bit of a hiccup with the initial run through, but Vitalii was quick to respond and fix the issue. Now everything runs smoothly and our image rankings are ever increasing!
Pretty sweet app! I have over a thousand images that I wasn't looking forward to doing manually. This app let me make a template and then did it for me in two minutes. Shopify should do this for us... but this is affordable and great.
Great app. I've had it for over a year and it does a wonderful job of adding alt text to all of my images. Saves me tons of time.
simple format to use and no fuss. use this if you have hundreds or thousands of images. Could be better if the app had more options for customisation
I slowly started adding Alt-Text to over 1000 products in my store. I did 4 products and figured there had to be a faster way. I found this app and it updated all the alt-text for all my products in a matter of minutes. That would have taken me days to do manually. Thank you for saving my sanity. Great app, highly recommended.
I installed this app, it wouldn't load or do what it was supposed to. I thought it was deleted. Then, I was charged $1.99 a month (I thought I had no apps with recurring fees). When I didn't pay the $1.99 bill (which I was unaware of), Shopify froze my account during the holiday season and I lost a day of sales. Since, I have received multiple emails from this company asking me to change my negative review, as it's "unfair to them." So I'm changing this to a neutral review, as the app did not work for me, but I guess it works for other people.
Fantastic service from Vitalii - very fast response, helpful and honest advice. Just installed the App and fixed image alt tags for 600 products in about 10 minutes. Will save me precious time uploading new products in future. Thank you.
Very easy to use. It does what it says for low price. Very useful, I can recommend it. Winfried (www.blanda-beauty.com)
I've used this app on both www.louisekool.com and www.bridges-canada.com and in both cases Alt Text performed with no problems whatsoever. Great little app.
Performed perfectly. Can't fault it. Save hours of work in retrospectively adding captions. Nothing more to say.
Amazing, I saved sooo much time! I'd forgotten to do this before I launched and was dreading the hours of image optimisation that I'd need to allocate to get this done.
Awesome app that works perfectly. Absolutely love it!
Iit would have taken days to get all our imagines optimized. finally an app really worth the price!
A nice simple app that helped me quickly update all my image alt tags at www.kidswatches.co.nz with a custom tag based on the product title so that they were all slightly unique.
App does exactly what it says; it changes the name of all your images based on the parameters you've decided on. Great if you have a large store with only one image per product. The Alt Text App Team is responsive for inquiries, which is good. Just beware; the app has one button and once you press it; ALL your alt text changes. This is not reversible.
Very helpful little app. It does what it says on the tin
It saved me tons of work ... I recommend this app
Great App a must have! We been using it without any problems at all.
This app was a major time saver. It handled my needs and I am very happy. Wish I had tried it sooner.
I like it. Set it and forget it for a fair price. I think they should add a free trial though so people can see if it works for them.
Does what it says! Gives you control over your alt tags and efficiently bulk edits them for SEO. I'm happy with it.
I'm now giving this app and the team behind it 5 stars as I reached out to ask them to make changes to the app to allow for variants in the alt text which they did. I can't fault them. My original review "I'd love to give this app 5 stars but currently, it doesn't support variant images so if like me you have products with multiple colour options each image is given the same alt text, not see to favourably by Google. I have contacted the developers and I'm hoping they will update the app for variants too, when this happens I will not hesitate to change my review. They were very good at answering my questions"
Works flawlessly. One of the best apps I have used so far!
I love apps like this one that just work automatically to your advantage. That app is just $1.99...... Unbelievable. It's a piece of cake for almost 1450 or more image alt test. Thank you for just a great app.
This app actually does what it says it does. I tried a couple of other apps like this that were free, but they were either slower than a snail or didn't do anything at all. Yeah, you have to pay a little bit for it, but the traffic you'll get in return will probably make up for the $2/month.
Very pleased - it just chugs away in the background and has added Alt Text to all of my images which is great. thank you
Seems to be working and adding Appropriate Alts, now to see how search results improve over the next week. Thank you!
I can see this app becoming a number 1 must have app for SEO and accessibility. It is very easy to use and will save a huge amount of time. Once you have set up the app it runs in the background and does all the work. Thank you so much for such a great app.
