There is no option to downgrade or upgrade the plan in this app. The support is not even assisting at all.
This is a ghost app. It is doing exactly nothing. The support page is blank, and no contact details are available. Shopify should review and remove it from the app store.
I've been using this app for yeas and now I cannot access it at all. Does anyone know what can I do? I tried from different browsers. Thank you!
the app does its job well and we have always been happy with it, we are forced to give 3 stars for customer service, as we have had requests to make to them for a new theme that we have to install in our website and unfortunately the answers we receive are fragmentary and often they don't even answer to us with any kind of feedback. Let's hope they can improve in this regard.
VIP has an easy drag and drop interface for easy setup and works exactly how it's described (just follow the directions y'all). We recently upgraded to a premium theme and the Eshop Guide support team went above and beyond to help us get the app setup. Overall great app with a support team that will stand behind it! *Edit* 5 years since our original review - we still stand behind this company. The Variant Image Penguin app is affordable, with unmatched customer service to back it. Still highly recommend it!
The worst experiance I had ever with all of great app providers for Shopify! Tragical contact, they didn't support me in 10 days!!! They wrote 3-times that will support me in 24 hours - nothing happens! Highly not recomended!
This app does not communicate with excel CSV updates within shopify. Performed an import for a price increase and lost all the image variants for over 6000 variants. Now they all have to be reassigned individually. We are losing sales and money. I recommend checking with the developer before doing any major updates/imports.
The app does exactly what it says and is really easy to use. It didn't work when I first set it up, but the support team fixed it right away. Excellent support and fantastic app that solved a big problem for my store.
This is a great app for selecting variant images. Easy to use. Great customer support. I switched Themes and they made the transition seamless
I've been working on getting this feature to work on my website for a year now. So many other apps and developers could not accomplish this. I am so grateful to have found VIP. It works correctly and is affordable for small businesses like mine. Highly recommend. Great support too for install on my custom shopify theme PRESTIGE.
Great support, they can customize to make it suit your custom theme and any requests to make sure it works
A fantastic app. Easy to use and with very helpful and quick support from the developers I recommend for stores looking to group images easily for variant selections.
I've used VIP on a few stores now and have always had amazing support, rarely have an issue with install but whenever adjustments need to be made they're always happy to help.
Had to get some help from support to get it working with my theme. After they added some extra JS everything worked perfectly.
A zero (0) would be more appropriate. Despite a well versed Shopify developer on staff and numerous attempts, we could not get it to work. No problem right? Surely their support would assist by going into Shopify and getting it working. The customer service is next to non-existent. A lone person replies once every 3-4 days and even then seems disinterested or incompetent. There are lots of other suppliers in this pool, we went with a competitor that communicates.
I'm so happy I found this app, the product page had too many images before. Super helpful support that has helped me a lot. As with all apps there's some issues but given the price and what it does I think it's great :)
I used this app and it worked great for about 1.5 years, then it started to really bog down: perhaps because we had more items and images? It became too slow to use easily. We couldn't get it to load correctly. When we uninstalled it it left some nasty bits of code in our Theme.liquid file that caused a lot of 404 errors. I would have no gripe if that had not happened. Hi there, and thank you for your honest review. The app never touches the theme.liquid by itself. It is most probably that you or our support staff inserted a script link to speed up the apps loading times as described in the help article manually. We apologize if this has caused any problems on your side after uninstalling. Cheers, Dave
I had a problem with thumbnail image and id image. Their assistance edited theme code and fixed it! I would suggest their app to everyone is looking for a excellent variant image service!
This app is really worth five stars - and the help from EshopGuide and Mandeep was very useful. I recommend it!
My theme was not on the list but Mandeep helped me with that really quickly. The main image slider on my website is a swiper-slider which is not fully supported with the app but Mandeep fixed that really quickly with a customization fee. Really happy with how the app works and the support is great!
The app works great and the support team has been very helpful. We are in the process of switching over to a new theme and we were having issues displaying the variant images. After working with the support team, they were able to identify a way that their app would work.
This is an excellent app - serves its purpose very well - and the developers are very responsive to any enquiries.
Good app: does its job. Great support team too: there was a small bug causing our image gallery to look bad on mobile and they solved it in no time.
Exceptional App! Drag and drop images as necessary without any complications. Just follow the setup advice... Takes minutes! I had one or two personal preferences, which the owner responded to fairly promptly. All in all, everything was running at absolute perfect standard within 7 days. Will be keeping the app for the forseeable! Highly recommend
Happy with this app and is exactly what we wanted as sell lots of items with colour variants We use Out of Sandbox Turbo and had to pay an additional $50 fee for them to get it to work but this was done quicklly within a few hours and the app is so simple to use.
Great app, great support! Had problems with setup, contacted support and they made it work like a charm :)
Great App. Easy to use and does evrything you'll need regarding variant iamges. The support team is awesome. They fixed any of the issues I faced. It's a rare quality and definitly worth trusting them. Five stars Guys !
Had some trouble getting it working, but their support was very helpful and got it up and running right away. Does exactly what we need it to, and really helps with making the product pages nice and clean. If this is what you're looking for, it seems to be the best option out there.
Good app that can do what I want. However, I've never had any luck setting it up myself, and I have good computer knowledge and basic coding skills. Mandeep did the backend set up for me, but I'd like to be able to do it myself. For this reason, I give it 3 stars. If the set up could be done without help, I would give it 5.
Fairly good. Does exactly what you'd want and helps you assign images to product variants. Some features like 'Hover to Zoom' won't work because the zoom will pick up photos being hidden but, we just turned that feature in our theme customization off and it's made our website look a lot nicer and hopefully more user friendly.
Our product page went from crazy messy to nice, tidy and clean!! This app does exactly what it supposed to do. Assigning images is straight forward. The technical support is responsive and very helpful, thank you :)
We must agree with all previous positive reviews of this app and David. When we tried to install this, we had problems because the theme our website is based on (Yourstore) is not from the Shopify theme store. We also heavily customized it with custom code and other Shopify apps. We contacted the Variant Image Penguin folks, and within I think a day, the app was installed and working. As we continuously improve our graphical user interface, not having a dozen images on our product page is making our design job easier. Thanks Dave.
Dave is a beast. He really went above and beyond to make this work on my theme (Launch). Can't say enough about him and his app. works great, great level of support. I try to use this app with all my client sites. Very very happy that this exists in the shopify app store.
Dave was extremely helpful. Initially, the app wasn't working due to issues with our HTML/CSS but Dave was more than helpful by looking over our code and resolving the issue for us.
Fantastic app and fantastic service. The team was very responsive to issues that I encountered with getting the app to work with our site's theme.
Not what I wanted and after I uninstalled it broke my theme. Variation images no longer appear when the associated variation is selected. Contacted support for assistance and they said they would help, but then dropped the ball!!! Very upset. Another developer has been working on fixing it for a week and has not been able to.
Fantastic app, we had some issues with the native integration with our theme and Dave got back to me super quickly and made some tweaks in our CSS that left the app functioning beautifully.
Great App and the service was quick and efficient too. Two thumbs up.
David is a very prompt, generous and efficient app developer. I was building a store which contained hundreds of products, many with multiple colours and sizes. Using VIP massively reduced navigation nightmares, condensing variations of the same product to simple buttons, keeping it clean and simple for customers. Had to make additional changes to mobile version (but this was due to my theme), and David was kind to keep the app running for free whilst I was in development for a couple months. Seems to be the only solution to multiple product variants out there!
This app is fantastic - kills it! As did all of the wonderful support I received from David Crowder. I highly recommend the product if you want to feature more than one image for each of your product variants.
Brilliant App. Works well, Good support - very goods communication. Would highly recommend.
excellent app and service. Email response with just in hours.
Excellent addition to our website. We invested heavily in lifestyle photos. Variant Image Penguin lets those photos shine on our product page. I anticipate an increase in our conversion rate as a result. Great app and great support.
These guys were great! I installed the App and needed some help with the layout. They were very quick to respond, and got me up and running. Highly recommended.
Works as advertised. Simple to use. Had one issue where no thumbnails were showing up, but this issue was resolved quickly.
Super responsive and going to make a huge difference in our shop. We make one-of-a-kind color combinations for products and it will save a lot of time and make it easier for the customer to see their options. Thanks for getting this app out there and recommend it highly to anyone making handcrafted goods that are unique within a style.
Still testing the features on the VIP app, however Oliver has been incredibly helpful and friendly in customising the features for us and he has been happy to go the extra mile. We are excited to start using VIP. Thankyou!
This app works great and the service was excellent! We needed a change to have it work correctly with our template and they did it quickly and resolved all issues in no time. Easy to setup also. Highly recommend!
Super useful app to get rid of all the variant images that shopify automatically inserts onto your page. I wanted a clean product page and this app does it. The developers were super helpful and responsive . I highly recommend!!!
