Unfortunately this app was not as user friendly as I would've hoped. I originally paid $179 for a year's subscription, but after realizing it wasn't going to work out, I reached out to the company and was told they'd refund me. They did not. Months later I got an email saying the app had been updated, so I gave it another chance, but the app was still underwhelming and unusable. I contacted the company again and after much back and forth, FINALLY got a refund for the $30. It was only after leaving this review that they acknowledged their error and refunded the additional $150 in hopes that I would change my review. To be clear, I subscribed to the app based on what the previews showed and to get full access to all features. That's why I spent the money - but then was entirely disappointed. I don't write reviews for no reason. Edited to add: I originally gave them an additional star because they did eventually refund my money. But I have since deducted it because they continue to email me trying to get me to change my review and I also keep getting emails every time they edit their response (which is often).
We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. To clarify the situation, our refund policy is publicly available and explains how refunds for annual subscriptions are calculated. Annual plans are offered at a significant discount compared with monthly billing, and when an account has been actively used for an extended period, the time used is calculated at the standard monthly rate when processing a refund. In this case, there was clearly a delay and miscommunication on our side regarding the refund process, and we acknowledge that this should have been handled better. Once the issue was fully reviewed, the remaining refund amount was processed. EasyCatalog is trusted by more than 10,000 merchants, and we continuously work to improve the application based on customer feedback. We understand, however, that every business has different requirements and that our app may not be the right fit for every workflow. We also offer a free plan so merchants can explore and test the application before committing to a paid subscription. We apologize for the frustration caused by the refund process and appreciate the feedback, even though we're sorry that the overall experience did not meet your expectations.
Misleading pricing and a frustrating experience. The App Store listing says the Free Plan includes unlimited products, collections, and pages, but that is not true. Even the Basic Plan has a 10-page limit, which is not clearly stated either. I first tried building a catalog with the new Editor Version 10, but it had so many bugs and missing features that I had to start over in the old editor. There, updating products is very inefficient because pages need to be rebuilt and metafields have to be reloaded manually every time you add/update products. On top of that, PDF exports are not reliable. Elements sometimes appear differently than in the editor. Overall, not transparent and not ready for serious use.
UPDATE 02.09.2026. There were so many issues in the previous version, which is why we built a new one from scratch. All issues are resolved, and it works perfectly. I can say there is no other app in the Shopify app store with so many features that is still easy to use Please give us one more chance, as we have solved all the problems!
We subscribed to the highest tier ($359.99/year), expecting better functionality and priority support as advertised. Unfortunately, this app has been a complete disappointment. Support is non-existent: Despite paying for "priority support," our requests were ignored or delayed for days. Even after escalating the issue, we received no meaningful help. Buggy and unreliable: The app is riddled with issues. Syncing doesn’t work properly, and customizing pages doesn’t create usable templates. It’s not intuitive and far from user-friendly. False advertising: The features promoted in the App Store do not reflect the actual experience. It feels like a marketing gimmick designed to upsell a broken product. Refund ignored: We formally requested a refund after months of problems and were met with silence. This app is nowhere near worth the price. Save your money and look elsewhere.
Asked for a refund after 11 months of using the app. Unfortunately, our refund policy is only 7 days after the subscription period, so we can’t approve this request Best
constantly crashes, doesn't autosave. If you like working for hours to find your work gone, then this app is for you.
UPDATE: 29.08.2026 Hi, yes, you are correct. There were so many issues in the previous version, which is why we built a new one from scratch. All issues are resolved, and it works perfectly. I can say there is no other app in the Shopify App Store with so many features that is still easy to use. Please give us one more chance, as we have solved all the problems!
Terrible experience. The UI is clunky, confusing, and extremely time-consuming to use. The app feels very limited and far from user-friendly. The biggest issue is misleading information on their pricing. They advertise a “free plan with watermark,” but what they don’t explain is that the watermark is not a small corner mark—it’s a huge box plastered across every single page of your catalog. After you waste an hour or more creating a catalog, you realize it’s completely unusable unless you pay. That’s not a watermark, that’s bait-and-switch. This app is a total waste of time and money. Shopify should really remove apps like this from the store.

Despite taking the 29.99 USD plan the watermark does not go when you try and download the PDF.
You have to regenerate the catalog to remove the watermark. Sorry for misunderstanding
Prélevé des montants exorbitants sans raison, je suis passé d'un abonnement à $19/mois pour 3 catalogues et 100 produits à une facture de $360 alors que je n'ai pas utilisé l'application depuis plus d'un mois.
Hi. Please check again, as we had refunded you the full money on Nov 28. 2023. That was because you activated our Unlimited plan first at 360$ a year...
Waiting for over 2 months for refund. I email them every week and they tell me they will process a refund...still waiting. I do not recommend this app. Update: I have been told I was getting refunded since August 30th. It is October 20th and still have not received it. Nothing was done immediately. Update: I finally received by refund that I was told on in August was complete. Awful customer service. I did realize that I was not refunded the full amount and a processing fee was taken out. They told me if I changed this review, I would be credited the processing fee. My review stands as one star, this company lied to be several times saying they processed a refund, and they did not. They are also trying to buy a better review by offering all my money back. They can keep the processing fee. I will not be changing my review. I recommend you find an app with better customer service.

Takes money off your account even when the app had been uninstalled. DO NOT INSTALL this app, they are scammers.
Sorry for misunderstanding, but Shopify handles payments...
the result is not mobile friendly. We have been asking for a change to a template for months, it was promised to us but never implemented. The assistance service replies sporadically via email. We are very dissatisfied.

This app has awesome potential but is highly unstable. I lost my work no less than 10+ times. It's lacking some basic formatting functionality, it's super buggy, and some features don't work at all. It took me 3 days to complete what should have taken less than 3 hours. I reached out to tech support, which is non-existent. At one point it wouldn't even allow me save my file anymore. That's when I had to start over completely, and I was very careful to do everything perfectly the first time with no need for changes, and I finally got it to work. I'm very happy with the end result, which is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 1. Update: I've tried emailing support, but they only reply to the reviews on this page. Have not responded to a single email. Reduced to 1 star for this reason.
We launched version 9, which fixes all major bugs and issues. Please contact us at [email protected] for an offer Hi. Sorry for the problems. That's why I suggest a quick meeting or training via TeamVIewer or Zoom. That way is the easiest to fix the problems you have. Sometimes old browsers are a problem. We will fix that very quickly. Let me know if you are interested in 30min training session. Best regards
Hi there, Have multiple annoying issues, after I paid a subscription for the app. Sad I can't use this app as wanted, it's driving me nuts... Buttons not working, refresh app not working, the intempestive messages of "While the catalog is being generated (the approximate time is a 3 minutes) help us to make this app better" Duh I'm gonna uninstall it if it's that's annoying, Even I cleaned my caches of my browsers, still not working at all. I need to use it for professionnals purposes, so please make it working finely, why reduce my efficiency by doing this all the time ? Or refund us and we will try to find better apps because for a first day using in pro version, it's big fail.
Hi there. Thank you for your review, but we’ve noticed something concerning after conducting an investigation. It appears that you didn’t create a catalog or use the app at all; you simply installed it. Given these circumstances, we believe this review may be fraudulent and have reported it to Shopify. Best regards,
The app is unable to display Chinese characters properly even I reported the case to the support but it is not fixed after a week. Moreover, it's always hard to download the big catalog file as my shop is having few hundreds of items.
We launched version 9, which fixes all major bugs and issues. Please contact us at [email protected] for an offer UPDATE 20. April 2021. We finally solve all the problems with characters and you can use our app without any issues now. Please check: https://pdfdocs.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/rZe6Z.pdf Hi. Sorry for the problems with the characters. The size problem is because 1770 products in the catalog and the catalog is generated in a high-quality format. We are working to solve this problem as soon as possible. You can expect it to be solved tomorrow morning.
