Otto Blocks & Images Scheduler
The reviews are overwhelmingly positive about the app’s core value: it makes scheduling banners, slideshows, homepage content, and promotional images easy, fast, and reliable. Many merchants say it saves them time, especially for recurring promotions and seasonal campaigns, and several note that it works well even on custom or heavily customized themes. A major strength highlighted throughout is customer support, which is repeatedly described as quick, responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to make custom adjustments or add requested features. Users also appreciate that the app can fill a gap for stores that do not have Shopify Plus, and many call it a lifesaver or highly recommended. The main negatives are that the app can feel basic or limited for more complex scheduling needs. A few reviewers mention restrictions around banner scheduling, difficulty reordering slides, and missing options such as more scheduling formats, header banners, image+text blocks, or multilingual scheduling. One reviewer felt the app was cumbersome if banners need to be changed or reordered often. Overall, though, the negative feedback is relatively minor compared with the strong praise, and even some critical reviews still acknowledge that the app works well for its intended purpose and that support is excellent.

Makes getting sale slides scheduled quick and easy. And best yet, if there is a feature that you think should be there and would like to be there, they are quick to get it added. I wanted to control the speed of the auto slide and wanted to toggle the "pause on hover" off but it wasn't available in the options. One contact request later and both options were added within a few days. Quick responses and a pretty handy tool. No complaints.
Otto has been wonderful! Before this app I was manually making sale changes at 9am, even on weekends. Our website was custom coded, so Otto didn't recognize the header bar for me to schedule changes. I reached out to Otto and Adi was knowledgeable and nice enough to make the changes for me! So not only is this app easy to use, but I'd also give it a 10/10 for customer support!
Perfect app for scheduling certain blocks and slideshows. Very easy to use and very useful. Support is excellent and professional.
useful app and support is excellent!
This app is incredibly basic and has weird restrictions on the scheduling of banners. If you don't need to switch out banners very often then this basic app will work. If you do have to switch out or re-order your banners often then this app is quite cumbersome to use. To re-order slides you have to delete the slides and completely re-do them in a different slide order.
Hi, sorry you are encountering restrictions with the app. If you reach out to [email protected] we'd be happy to help with a custom installation to meet your unique needs. Quite a few customers are able to use our default section templates but some require more in depth integrations into their themes because of Shopify's limitations with app blocks. We can make the integration as robust as necessary to fit your workflow.
