I got an invitation to participate in as an early adopter for this app and I jumped on the opportunity since I was looking for something like it for a while. I think this app is brilliant on a couple of concepts: First, it does what it's set out to do well, publish posts automatically. I don't know if this has to do with the context I provide, which was thought out to produce better results for my kuadros.com site but the prompt is nothing out of the ordinary. The quality of the writing is top notch and it feels very human, which was surprising. I only have an ocassional issue where the content is chopped at the end, I imagine it exceeds the quote or tokens somewhere (or times out during the AI call). On these ocassions I have to complete the content manually with AI. Also I would like to see more than 1 internal image in every post. Currently it produces the main image plus 1 only other internal image, usually made with AI but with very good quality. In my type of content, about 5 internal images would be great. I'm also waiting for the post to be published as draft instead of going live so I can review it first (author said he's working on it). Finally, the app doesn't allow you (yet) to choose the name of the publishing writer, no big deal for me as I opted to hide the author to accomodate for this. Second, this app is brilliant because it allows you to be part of a network. Which means that if you accept to take in links from other sites, you will publish their links but the other users in the network will also publish links to your own site, thereby bringing tremendous value in link building. The concept is brilliant and the external links are very well handled. It also of course does internal link building to previous posts, and it's flawless so far. I think that after 365 days of automated posting and link building, internal and external, my kuadros.com site is bound to go up in the rankings. It's just a matter of time. Therefore I'm really rooting for this app to do really well and I appreciate the effort by the developer in creating a good concept. The dashboard is really well conceived, as is the ability to connect other sites from other platforms, which is the icing on the cacke. Do give it a try without hesitance.
I'm changing my initial review of the app from 3 to 4 stars. Even though it still has some annoying issues, by having my entire strore translated to 3 languages (English, Spanish and Portuguese), I've been able to sell to all kinds of market that we didn't reach before. My main issue right now is that the app only supports 3 languages. I think it's critical that Shopify allows many more lanuages. I can't wait until I can translate to Italia, French, German and sell paintings in all those markets. This app has in my opinion great business value. ----------------------------- The app is fair, not excellent. Duplicate products should not preserve the original translation. In some cases when translating certain fields the case is not maintained. When editing an existing translation from scratch, sometimes the descritption does not translate again. There should be a button to translate from scratch when reviewing a product. Aside from that, the translations are pretty decent, not sure if it will be upgraded to fix the bugs to reduce time from the shooper. Oil Paintings Shop: kuadros.com
In the past I used the app to backup and restore religiously. I took it out at one point to save money, a decision I regretted deeply later, as I managed to damage my store by erasing hundreds of images using "Files" in the Shopify settings. I had to restore image by image one by one. Running a proper backup with the ability to restore is a no brainer and the app works as it should with granularity. I'm never taking the app off anymore and when I reinstalled it I got really nice service from Marina.

Thank you very much for your excellent review! Please note that our app can backup the following items: Products and Product Images Orders Customers Themes Pages Blogs Custom collections Smart collections Locations Saved Searches Policies Shipping zones Metafields Unfortunately, Shopify doesn't allow access to "Files" in the Shopify settings. As a result, we can't back them up. However, we will start backing them up if Shopify opens access to this section. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions about our app!
I've had only but good experience with this app from the beginning. Recently I wanted to try the "free" speed update, which was hard to believe. A peson named Jazmin contacted me and we chatted live and she did some backend work to boost my site's speed, which was pretty impressive. Not sure what she did though or how, but I'm happy with the results. I sell online paintings through kuadros.com so my store is pretty heavy in graphics. The speed boost is great and I'm hoping it will improve the SEO
I only wanted to test the file rename feature but the app wants me to compress the images first, which I do not want. Like others have said, the app is deceiving. It's not free, it has a free plan. The upper plan limits compression per month to 5GB. Probably my store is a lot larger than that. Uninstalling without testing the functionality
