Opinew Produktanmeldelse UGC

Third class service. I had this app integrated on my website for 1 year; after an year they said my free trail is expired, which was never mentioned before as I always had the free version on. On top of that; they removed the reviews I received during the time; and the widget. Tried getting in touch with the support team multiple times; and they dont seem to be able to fix it; nor even identify the issue. ISSUE: You guys removed my reviews. Simple

Installed but then quickly realized there are better options. Uninstalled but now there's a stupid error showing on my site because Opinew didn't even uninstall properly. Absolute fail.

The support of this software is terrible. I would not recommend this to anyone. I tried for 4 days to get them to help solve the issues and after several people asking me if there was a problem, no one ever did anything to solve the issue. I gave them access to my site so they could dig deeper but they did nothing. Beware of this company. so far they have not returned my money either.

Used this app for years, and then it stopped being able to tell when my orders were shipped, so I couldn't accurately send review requests. (which also were not able to automatically send, so I would have had to manually send them) Reached out numerous times over several weeks and was told it was being "looked in to" but there was never any update on their end. Uninstalled and moved to another app.

This app used to be decent... Then this past February I realized none of my reviews were syncing. Nothing worked, got nothing but errors. Reached out to support, went back and forth for weeks waiting for an update, finally they say it's Amazon restricting imports. I believe them, the other apps are dealing with it too. But those apps are $25/month, I WAS PAYING $500 for their top plan!!! And who knows how long my reviews weren't syncing for. Nothing was working except my $500/month payment to them. SAVE YOUR MONEY. Get one of the other apps for $25/month that do the SAME THING MAYBE EVEN MORE.

Worthless. It was a great app at first, but for almost six months now I have been having problems adding Ali reviews. For six months now I have been contacting these people every two weeks or every month and all they say is:
We understand your frustration, we apologize for the inconvenience, our team is working on it. Can your team not solve this in 6 months? Meanwhile, I pay 20 euros every month. For what? Keep your promises and make sure everything works.

This app has gone downhill fast. Prices have skyrocketed, and they've stripped away features that were part of the base paid package. Now, I have to pay FIVE TIMES MORE just to respond to reviews on my products—a feature that was previously included. This is a blatant cash grab that completely disregards the small businesses Opinew claims to support with said package.

Customer support has become a nightmare. It takes forever to get a response, and when you finally do, the reps act clueless. One even told me there was no record of our previous conversations. I HAD TO INCLUDE SCREENSHOTS OF PREVIOUS MESSAGES BEFORE I GOT SOME HELP. This level of incompetence and disregard for loyal customers is infuriating.

This review gathering feature of this app has been broken for over 4 months, and I wasn't notified, yet they continued to collect money. I can't believe how unethical these people are.

Doesn't work in any way, can't recommend

A Cautionary Tale

Pricing and Transparency Issues
Initially, I was drawn to the app for its promising features and signed up for the Advanced plan at $199 per month, along with an additional feature called "smart review" for $9. However, the first red flag was the payment confirmation, which totaled an unexpected $247. This discrepancy was not explained upfront and was only clarified after a prolonged wait for customer support response.

The support team explained that the pricing for "smart review" and other features was based on the "number of order values" over the past 12 months—a critical piece of information that was not disclosed on the app store page. They did provide a link to calculate these additional charges, but this lack of transparency from the start is a significant concern.

Disheartened, I decided to downgrade to the Growth plan, which was advertised at $89. Yet again, I was faced with a surprising charge of $137 upon confirmation. This continued lack of clear, upfront pricing information is troubling and suggests a pattern that could mislead other users.

Integration Woes
Another major issue I encountered was with integrations. The app advertised compatibility with other popular tools like smile.io. However, it turns out that connecting these services requires not just the Advanced plan but also a Plus subscription costing $999 per month for manual API integration. This critical detail was omitted from the feature descriptions, adding another layer of unexpected expense and complexity.

Conclusion: Beware of Hidden Costs
Based on my experience, this app suffers from serious issues with transparency and customer communication. The hidden costs and misleading feature descriptions have not only caused financial strain but also wasted time and added frustration.

For other Shopify store owners considering this app, I advise caution. Ensure you understand all potential costs and confirm details with customer support before committing. What I encountered could be described as misleading at best and deceptive at worst. It's crucial to approach such apps with skepticism and to conduct thorough research to avoid similar pitfalls.

UPDATE AFTER RESPONSE:
I'm not suggesting you're dishonest, but it seems there might be some discrepancies in what's being presented. Not once is it mentioned, either on the Shopify App Store or on your website, that your app is related to revenues. The only feature listed is an import limit. This not only breaches Shopify's Terms and Conditions but could also be considered fraudulent. Your lengthy reply, filled with questionable remarks, suggests that this might be intentional. I'm surprised Shopify hasn't shut down the app yet. I hope they will take action soon. In the meantime, I urge everyone to review the app's page, take screenshots, and be cautious of any hidden costs.
