It’s great to get images quickly optimised. But BEWARE. After days of work optimising all the alt descriptions manually, this app wiped out all my hard work and rest it. So although it was great in the beginning, it’s actually ended up costing me days of lost work and effort. Totally gutted. I would suggest only loading this app if you are intending never to optimise the images yourself. OR immediately uninstalling it once you’ve let it do the initial optimisation.

Works as advertised. I asked for a new feature to distinguish multiple images for a single product so they don't all have the same alt text. This way, Google would know they are different. They added the feature in less than 24 hours. Great.

UPDATE: Learned that the alt tags are updated daily, checked and it works perfectly. Great app, saves me a lot of time! Highly recommended! I have hopes but it is not working as I hoped. Waiting to hear from support. It fixed all images but appears to not do anything to new photos/listings? I add all the time, I need something that updates them as they are added. Will update my review if this issue is resolved.
