Had not tested to see if the photolock still worked and found out it does not. How long have I been paying for a product that does not prevent vistors to my website from lifting my content? How do I apply for refunds? This was installed in 2019 and last major website revision a few years ago, I tested everything on my website. All was working well. Today I found out it does not work.
Great app! It gives me peace of mind knowing my photos can’t be easily saved with a right-click.
I am so glad I came across this app, because I was so concerned that people would steal my images. This app makes it difficult for them to do so. Photolock offers more than I anticipated in terms of preventing image theft. I’ve been using this app for less than a month now and can say that the support for this app has been great. I’ve had to contact them about two issues and received a reply within 24 hours with a resolution each time. Here is my recommendation if you have a problem with the app. Contact their support first before rushing to leave a negative review. They are responsive.
Does the job perfectly and simply.
Please whitelist photolock.io domain from Tracking Protection to view our site. It crashing my website last hours??? No response or help I lost money today due to photolock. if you have same problem go and delete from theme.liquid. {% include 'photolock' %}
1. Be aware the free trail is only available for the US$1 plan, if you switch to other plans, you will be charged. 2. I switched to the US$12 plan to check how the watermark looks like and it looks horrible in my opinion, there is a long OPAQUE bar which has same width as your picture and so it covers like 10% of your picture. 3. I contacted the team to see if they can have the bar removed or have the option to choose transparent color for the bar so there is only text on my picture. They told me they will have it done in few days, so I waited and stayed with the US$12 plan even though I am not using it. I waited for 2 weeks and sent them few emails in the meantime to see if they can provide any updates and they never replied to any of my emails. 4. So, altogether I feel like this is a scam, it was advertised with a 7 days trial, but it's for US$1 plan only, once I upgraded to US$12 plan, they just made me wait and wait and so if I forget to remove the app, they will charge me US$12 for every other months. 5. FYI, This app will slow down the loading of your website.
2nd Review - I loved the app. but in June, 2018, I was informed the app. price was going to increase from $5 to $12 which is a huge increase and unwarranted. I would not have minded a small increase but this is ridiculous when there are other apps that will do the same for a small price of $1.99. I wrote the following review in Oct. 2017. 1st Review in Oct. 2017 - Great app - I am so glad that I found it to avoid copying of my photos which people have done over many, many years.
our web site is not accessible from iPhone users over a week. Having hard time to get support, over the week. even shopify trying to reach them but nobody respond yet. I dont recommend this app, they are not responsible thats why I had to install this app to leave feedback(you cant leave feedback after 45 days from the installation). Hopefully they respond this time.
