This app has a few distinguishing characteristics that make it standout above other metafield editors. First, it correctly discovered and presented all of our complex product metafields and allowed them to be edited in a simple editor. While one would think all metafield editors would succeed at this, I found this was the only app able to do that without strange artifacts or simply missing the metafields all-together. The app developer also generously provides a good deal of free functionality so you can get a feel for the app before purchasing. It took about 5 app downloads before I settled on this app as a direct metafield editor.

I downloaded 8 different apps to resolve two large-scale difficult issues I had. This was the only app to resolve these issues flawlessly. Our product catalog has some products with pre-existing complex metafields and other products with just the standard shopify product template (no advanced metafields). I had to perform for a search-and-replace against both of these product sets. Many other apps could not "get past go" and even recognize the existance of the metafields. Others failed repeatedly to perform a search-replace or insisted on a spreadsheet method of import and export which, for this task, is overkill for basic editing and relatively high risk. Further, this developer gives an awful lot away for free which is rare for such a well-executed app.

This is a wonderful app, within just a few minutes it solved a large problem for me that I didn't think anyone had a solution for-- to simply post my Shopify blogs to Facebook in a consistent, streamlined, and traceable manner. I produce content that is targeted to the website and to different social platforms. With this tool, I can simply copy-and-paste a link (in this case a blog entry) and then "shout out" it to Facebook with a nicely formatted post and picture from my blog-- no separate image uploading, copying text, etc, just copy the link in and publish. I didn't use the scheduling tool (autopilot)-- I disabled that feature as I learn the tool. You can simply shout-out on demand which matches my model at the moment. This only scrapes the surface for this tool, it's about the most basic thing it does and it's a very big timesaver. The pricing model is very generous, they don't charge a monthly fee but instead only charge by post and they give a large number for free. The portal interface is very nicely done and easy to use. Everything I've done so far is at no cost. I plan to expand my use of the tool and putting time into finding ways I can use it, anytime I get immediate ROI like this, and at no upfront cost to-boot, I know I have a winner.
