Directed Edge Recommender

This app is really easy to install and very powerful in supplying recommendations for both existing and new products.

It is easy to check the value added to your store by tracking revenue source in your analytics package.

Fantastic support when it is needed but the only grumble would be the "Recommendations by Directed Edge" link placed on our store.

Its not cool that I have to have a, Directed Edge, link on every single one of my product pages AND pay $39 a month.

Tried to sort out a billing issue with the developer about being charged some astronomical price like $249 USD and wanted to go back down to $9.00 which was my original price I was paying. He then said they're discontinuing the $9.00 package and was going to raise it up nearly 3x's more per month So I had to pull out. it's way to much for my taste. Sales haven't declined since i've removed this app so i'm okay with my choice.

Waaaaay too expensive for what it does. For $10 a month, I may have kept it, but IMO it's definitely not worth it at the current price.

Shouldn't a recommendations app be using the following information to make suggestions?

- which collection the product is in
- which vendor makes the product
- viewing history of the specific customer
- overall viewing patterns

As far as I can tell, this app mainly uses purchase history, which isn't very helpful in a new store.

The app supports CUSTOM collections, but not SMART collections, which is how we power all our categories.

Holding off judgment for a few more months while our order history builds.
