Customily Product Customizer

I have been using this app for approximately four months. It is a very powerful tool, particularly for users who are willing to invest a significant amount of time learning its capabilities. However, the application is not very intuitive. The interface feels clunky and poorly designed, with many tools feeling disconnected from one another. Additionally, the designer experience is especially frustrating. Overall, the app would greatly benefit from a comprehensive overhaul to improve usability, cohesion, and ease of use.

Terrible experience for 10 months now. The customer care and technical help department send ai emails that are repetitive saying the same thing, "Looks like you haven't responded, we are closing the ticket now." Meanwhile I am flooding their emails demanding help or a full refund as the service was never used and not functional for 11 months. Worse experience of all millions of apps out there on the platforms.$50 x 11 of which they can confirm it is not functional nor has been used? The company's CEO must have been a car salesman through college.

Costs way too much to have this many problems. Simple intergration is a severe hassle. The interface doesnt fully show up and there are too many work arounds in the attempt to use it with Shine On. It had potential but fails to save time and almost guarantee that you will spend the Free Trial, trying to learn how to get it to work properly. Too many moving pieces what should have been simple, became quite the nightmare.

Although I have my entire site fot in with this app and it's too much to go back now and change it..they charge you for the service..THEN CHARGE YOU AGAIN WHEN THE CUSTOMER USES IT..$1 FOR EVERY SINGLE TRANSACTION PLUS 50/MONTH...WHICH IS OUTRIGHT REDICULOUS..do not use this service without realizing how much they are taking..absolutely insane..the software is very limited in usability to be charging that much

While I wanted to love this app because it is a bit easier than Teeinblue and has similar features, the fact that you still need to hire a Fiverr to help you is still frustrating. It's not simple to use and I am beyound frustrated. Especially when trying to save designs. This should be a BASIC feature.

Unfortunately, there is no way to save designs. Even when you do save it, your image and text just disappears, so that if you want to reuse the design on another POD item, you have to redesign the entire thing all over again.

Picture doing the same design repeatedly just to place it on 50 different items. It's incredibly frustrating and time consuming. While support was willing to send help docs, it doesn't change the fact that this basic feature doesn't work correctly. The app is also very misleading.

They boast that you can use the background remover and cartoonizer features. What they fail to mention, is that you will need to spend hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars more to connect to third party apps to use these features. So these features DON'T actually come with the app as they've listed. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for another product personalizer.

I strongly advice you to never use that app. As a Shopify Plus customer you can be sure we know how things should work. But this app... Oh my god.. The team behind it is unwilling to hear about critical bugs. They just keep telling you to find "hacks" and "workarounds" instead of fixing things on their end.

As a business owner I always spend time first to learn the basics before I hire team members for tasks, but with Customily, unless you hire cheap workpower to spend 8 hours per day on what else could be done in 30 minutes (without bugs and with a proper UX) – you are going to go completely nuts.

In 3 months we couldn't even launch our first customizable design because although the replies from the support are coming fast – they WON'T FIX ANYTHING. Heck I even offered free UI/UX consultation to them to be able to do something finally, but they haven't replied on that.

Here is just a FRACTION of the bugs and pain points:
1. When you press CMD+Z to get back, 30% of the time the layers position will be messed up with no way to revert it except manual work.

2. You can't move multiple layers positions in bulk (although the option exists it doesn't work when you have many layers on the design).

3. If you have many layers be prepared for manual labor like no other. Instead of offering functionality to set standard thumbnails for each layer you'll need to go one by one and change these. You can think it's not a problem but when you got 400 layers to change it becomes very painful and could be fixed super fast by the team.

4. The UX is so bad, I proudly tell colleagues about it being the app with the worst UX I've seen since probably 2010. They overcomplicate everything with no reason, honestly it sometimes feels like they just want you to suffer.

5. You can't clone designs – for those of you who didn't use the app – designs are the building blocks of your products. As soon as you change the name of the option set inside that design you can not longer clone it. Now think you have created a base with 400 layers, spend days on it, and now you can't reuse it to create new designs because it won't copy. This one takes them already 18 days to fix and they're probably not even close because they still try to figure out how to "hack" our way through instead of just fixing it for god sake.

Please stay away from this app no matter what. Your life is too valuable to spend it on Customily. Learning your way thorough a bug hell which will never compensate at the end. Please understand that unless you want to be a freelancer who does Customily for other people you will go through weeks of learning without any value at the end. You will eventually face a huge bug which ruins your workflow and they won't be interested in fixing it. You will then come here are leave a 1-star review just like me, spending even more time on pointless things which won't bring you any sales.

EDIT: I changed my review: recently our store has encountered many bugs and preview errors that Customily took forever to fix, even though we've contacted their support team and waited according to their processing timeline. No fixes or improvements whatsoever so far. The errors found in the webpage and in confirmation emails sent out are causing us many tiring communications with customers. Thinking of moving to another app.

Tried to reach out for creating a product for our business as no one in the team knows how to finish the customization， and it is urgent for us， received the answer 10 hours later, and told me they are going to charge extra. Don‘t know if this is normal, yet Sounds not cool.

Keine gute Nutzererfahrung. Dann besser bei Teeinblue bleiben...

This app is not that good:
1. this app is my second time using it. I looked at it as having a 9 day trial left, but it turned out to be a straight up charge. Not a good way to unsubscribe and get charged.
2. it's not cost effective and the clips in the library are old. Requires you to buy or design clips from somewhere else.
3. the clips in the library in the app cannot be deleted, and after I accidentally deleted them, they can only manually add them one by one. It can't be reset either. I appreciate the efforts of their staff. But it seems like their company is powerless on this issue.
4. even though I paid for it and have only been using it for a couple of days, I can't use it at all due to deletion of libraries. Which means I'm not actually using it at all. I paid the full fee. I had a problem and they couldn't fix it immediately.
Doesn't matter
Goodbye ...... never again!
