DropInBlog ‑ SEO Friendly Blog , 218 arvostelua

In general, this app is only suitable for complete beginners, and it's best if your store doesn't have any existing blogs. If you need to customize blog pages extensively, I would suggest using a page builder (I won't mention the names of these apps to avoid suspicion, but you know, they're easy to search for), or just contact a web development team.

Pros:
1. Easy to use, can quickly create a medium SEO quality, rich-media blog
2. Customer service is responsive, with a good attitude, and helped solve many problems together

Cons:
1. Don't expect the blog pages to have many customizable features. Compared to the native Shopify blog, the biggest advantage here is just text-to-speech conversion.
2. The product placement function is very limited, basically only including product titles, images, descriptions, "read more," and "add to cart" buttons. If you don't have web coding skills, you basically can't modify anything.
3. If you have a bunch of old blogs, after importing them into this app, the same number of new pages will be created without any notice, with identical content. I think there is a risk of Google considering it duplicate content or spam, and if you later abandon the app, all these links will become 404, and you will need to redirect them yourself.

I am all about commending this app as a great app for blogging. The interface is very easy to use. I have tried many different blogging apps and overall, this one is in fact the best. Whenever you install an app, you usually get the email that says, "Thank you for installing" and "If you have any questions..." and "Check out our website for more information". However, with this app developer, they spammed the heck out of me, with 10+ emails about thanking me for installing, and other associated content. I pay for an app to help build my business, but way too much spam and while the developer may want to communicate, excessive emails shows me the developer is a little narcissistic of the app. My recommendation is use this app and it will help your blog, but unsubscribe from their emails as soon as you install it or be warned you will get a ton of spam.

5 stars on their customer service, as they were very responsive to a few questions I had. 2 stars for the software, as it feels a little clunky and doesn't separate itself from apps that have free versions. For instance, you can't change the font (that I've seen), but that's standard free feature in a competitive app. Images are difficult to place and wrap text around (really made an awkward preview for Mobile viewing). The ability to upload a Shopify product into the post is helpful. All in all, can't justify the monthly price tag associated with the app.
