What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants highly recommend this app for enhancing product page visuals with features like zoom, thumbnail carousel, and 360-degree views, which work well on mobile devices. It supports zoom on hover, magnification, full-screen options, video, and 360-degree images, all customizable and responsive. The installation is simple, and the customer support is noted for its responsiveness and free customizations. Merchants find it cost-effective, appreciating the one-time purchase price over recurring fees, and credit it with boosting their site's professionalism and user experience.

LAST EDIT: After receiving a new message from the support, I realized that the mistake was mine. I had ticked the retina image switches for the zoom and the gallery which had caused my images to display too small. All fixed now and the app is back on our Website. Many thanks to Paula for her help! I decide"d to keep the entire review as it is as it may help other people who may face the same issue ;) This app is great!

EDIT: I’m disabling the app today while concerns #2 and #3 are being addressed. However, the way my images are displayed on click is the real deal breaker. When the gallery opens, the images appear even smaller than in the initial view. Unfortunately, this is completely counterproductive and pushes visitors to close the gallery.

I still don’t understand why the app can’t display images the way Shopify does natively. While Shopify’s approach sometimes enlarges images too much (depending on the original size), at least visitors get a proper zoom when they click.

It’s a shame because otherwise, this app is very well done and probably ideal for businesses that can share full-resolution images without concerns about counterfeiting.

INITIAL REVIEW: I have been using this app for a couple of years now and I'm globally very satisfied! It does what it says and doesn't slow down our Website. To top it off, it's super fairly priced with a one-time payment!

Only missing features to make it perfect are:
- the ability to zoom expand beyond the actual size of the image (like a digital zoom effect). Because if your images are not big enough, the expanded view makes no difference with the initial size.
- a feature to force all images to display at the same size in the gallery view
- a feature to display the image captions in the gallery (not when zoomed or expanded)

Hi My Retro Poster! We're pleased to say that thanks to your feedback, we've added these new features to the Magic Zoom Plus app:

1. When small product images are used, they will always show as 800px width in the enlarged view.

2. If a gallery contains different sized images, you can enable the new 'Square images' option and a 1:1 aspect-ratio will be applied. This will prevent jumping when you switch between items.

Thanks again!

The app is really good and the support team has been very helpful.
only this is I would love if they can implement adding video onto the extended view it would be so helpful.

An image "zoom" feature was an absolute must for our store which sells high-end statues and action figures (where the customer needed to be able to see the detail and quality of the products). Our theme is fully responsive so the guys at Magic Zoom helped us tailor the app to also be fully responsive to our site and ensured that the site worked in all major browsers. This was a very big ask and the support from these guys was simply amazing!!!!! Big thanks from www.redhottoys.co.uk
