Nicky Perryman Artist review for DropInBlog All‑in‑One Blog App

Sept. 14, 2022

Coming from a Wordpress background, I was shocked to see how utterly pathetic the native blog is that comes with Shopify. I contemplated doing the subdomain Wordpress install and attaching that to my Shopify site but then realised that it’s not the greatest solution for SEO etc. Searching for an answer, I came across DropinBlog and thankfully someone has the sanity to create a blog app that is actually worth having. DropinBlog is so easy to use, it has a built in SEO analyser which is like having Yoast if you are familiar with that in Wordpress. It has a nice interface. Easy to set up categories, authors, users, set scheduled posts. The editor actually has some decent features including being able to add video - yay! As well as products. Really easy to use. I think there are some features it could really do with, such as being able to bulk edit posts - if you had a lot of posts this would save so much time. Also it would be lovely to have more image presentation options, like a carousel gallery for example. Adding images into a table is a bit clunky at present. On the whole, I’m pretty happy with it. It is a solid alternative and is waayyyyyyy better than the native shopify blog. The customer support is really good too and highly responsive. I’ve just kept off one star because of the lack of bulk editing capabilities. Also I think the price is a little steep but as there isn’t much else out there, I think I will have to swallow that for the sake of good SEO. In general though, I really recommend this app. It’s really nice.
