This app has made our site! We really wanted a clean and professional lookbook feel. Covet.pics provided us exactly what we needed. Started off with the free plan but quickly upgraded to the advanced $19.99 plan so that we had all the functionality. We are a few months into using it and have received lots of compliments on our site. Dom and his support team have been wonderful. Highly recommend.
We have been using the app for a few years now and it has been great for our on site galleries. We spent a lot of time initially reviewing and testing all the gallery apps available and Covet pics was by far the best and most versatile. We recently needed some UX tweaks to our modal displays and the guys were really helpful and collaborative. A great app and a great team. Would highly recommend.
After March 2020, Instagram was no longer allowing their feeds to appear on Shopify themes that supported their platform, unless through a partnered 3rd party app. I found Covet Pics and I could not be more pleased with the look and the great help I received from the developer Tom, to embed the app for me as well. As a small business I chose the basic plan, with plans to upgrade in the future. Love this app!
Used application for over a year. It turned out that they take photos from instagram from instagram CDN and if instagram changes addresses then nothing works. The support never answered for several months of calls. Deleted.
for developers - shopify can perfectly store files on its CDN with reference to products. It took me two days to write a replacement your service using Zappier and a couple of REST API calls.
Hi there - Our sincere apologies for not responding to your emails. We take pride in offering leading customer support and unfortunately in this instance, it seems our support software had incorrectly blocked incoming messages from your email address. It's something we are reviewing and working to ensure doesn't happen again.
Unfortunately, Instagram's new API does have some issues that are affecting all Instagram apps. We have to work around this and to do so, we've increased our syncing times and we have an instant Sync Images button so you can quickly and easily get the images back. It's great to see that you were able to write a custom solution for one aspect of what our app can do, but this won't work on other stores, unfortunately.
If you or anyone has any questions - contact us at support@spacesquirrel.co and we're more than happy to answer any questions and help out.

Obsessed with this app! I get so many compliments on the way my instagram feed shows on my home page! It really brings my website to life. It helps me get more followers on my instagram, as well as helps website visitors get a better glimpse of who I am even if they don't have instagram. This has definitely helped increase sales and get my customers more interactive with my website! :)

Unfortunately the idea of this app is perfect, but execution is really not well thought through. If you tag products to only some images and some not... the ones without will have a massive white space. And yes it can be taken away with CSS, but then you take away the share icons too..
Which means inconsistency.
Any professional website wouldnt be able to work with those conditions. and this at the price of 50$ a month. Step it up!
Hi there,
your detailed feedback in our many emails has been a great insight but as you are the only person that has requested this option, and because we have offered multiple solutions using CSS and without it, we cannot build this feature just for you.
Our app is designed to be a lookbook gallery app with the primary intention of converting more sales for you so it makes sense to have the product section of the popup a permanent and prominent feature. Tagged products help customers visualize their potential purchase and having access to an Add to Cart button directly next to an image is a huge incentive for customers to purchase your products.
We have offered you multiple solutions for what you are trying to do with the app, as we would offer to any user wanting customized features from our app. The reason we added the Custom CSS option is so that users can customize the app to their needs or they can ask us to customize it if they need some help, something which we are more than happy to do if it's possible.
We have thousands of users who use our app every day as a central part of their website and to them, the space you want us to change for all of them, is perfectly functional and a primary part of why they enjoy the app so much.
We appreciate all feedback and we've added your requests to our feature requests list in case we can find a way to add this in the future. If you have any more questions or want to discuss this further, please send us an email at support@spacesquirrel.co and we'd be more than happy to discuss this further.
We can see you're still using the app so we hope that you enjoy your continued use of Covet.pics

UPDATE (10/5/16): This app has changed the game for me. I now use my main IG gallery on my main landing page. Dom and crew have been awesome to work with. Fast responses to customer emails, and quick fixes as well. Thank you Covet!
Wonderful app. Fast, great customer service! Still relatively new, but can't wait to see where it goes. I've been looking for something like this for a while, but didn't see one I liked until this one. Highly recommended!
Great app! Simple to setup & use. Once you get through Meta and setup your accounts correctly, the rest is simple and useful. It lets you groom your hashtag photos and curate the way you want it to show in gallery or other modes without hard coding. Lots of customizations and options to make the best gallery or slideshow. Customers can upload their photos to into the gallery simply and easily. You can also easily tag products for easier sales funnel.
We started using Covet.pics even when it was in its beta/trial phase and there were 2 main reasons for that - (1) The product was actually miles ahead of the other solutions in this space - nothing looks as good and performs as good (2) Dom was just so responsive to feedback & ideation that we almost felt like someone was actually listening to us and building out our feature requests. Wholly recommend them - with so much done already, we can't wait to see how this app evolves next!
Love this app! User-friendly, easy to set up, looks great, loads fast and very responsive support. Very happy.
UPDATE: After almost 3 years of using this app, it still doesn't disappoint. The main reason for my update is to highlight the fantastic support provided by Tom and his team. Always fast responses, and no matter what the question, issue or request is, they make it happen. App support and responsiveness matter, and you can be assured you'll get an awesome app AND top-notch service from this team.
