I deleted the old version and installed this because it said the old version was an unsupported version. I used to be able to select just one collection to advertise, but those controls are now gone and all products are being shown. Cannot change any settings in AdWords except the name of the new campaign that this app sets up. Once setup, cannot change locations, bids, schedule, etc. This seems like it was made for users with no previous Shopping campaign experience. Total disappointment.

Ridiculous app, wasted 2 days of my life trying to get this app the even start to sync my products which it flat out refuses to do. No errors, no warnings just nothing happening. Absolutely useless.

Sadly I moved to Shopify to get this app working with my Youtube channel. Can't get it working it's terrible and my YouTube channel is for tech training.
People have multiple youtube channels not just the main login.

Uninstalled because it clearly wasn't ready for use. It now throws an error on installation, yet Shopify are requiring it's installation by the end of October. Why is this going so badly?

Great in Theory but when we installed the app it caused changes in our whole theme and created a bug in our jquery file. We are still trying to fix it but we had to take down our site for a day.

Shopify is not sending the product info to Google Merchant Center! It is so frustrating to have to spend hours upon hours on YouTube looking for solutions!

Ok, if 90% of the reviews are 1 star when will Google & Shopify wake up and fix the issues? App does not work on my store or on any other store I try to install it on.

I can't even connect the app to try it out. I keep getting "Error 400: invalid_request
Account restricted" If you’re the app developer, make sure that these request details comply with Google policies.
