For many online shoppers and deal aggregators,
Chrome
extensions
have become an indispensable
online shopping assistant
. However, finding the
top Chrome extensions
in the
Chrome extension
store can be a challenge. One extension that has been gaining attention is KDP Spy by BookBolt.io. Despite its promising features, its aggregate rating of 2.5 out of 5 in the Chrome extension store calls for a thorough review.
Several users have reported that the KDP Spy extension does not work as expected. Jérémy APPY and Alexis Adams, who are paying for the pro subscription, reported that the extension starts scanning Amazon pages but then vanishes before they can analyze the
information
. Leydis Marin and the owner of Failed Scientist Cafe experienced similar issues. They signed up for BookBolt, but the extension refused to open and work at all. This is quite frustrating, especially after paying for the pro version.
Customer Service to the Rescue?
Amidst the negative reviews, Rian Taveras gave a positive review about the excellent customer service, although he did not use the product. In contrast, Clare Bloomfield and LivingLoving ActonW3 found a way around the extension's issues by using different Google profiles and ensuring to log in and have a paid subscription, respectively.
Is KDP Spy Worth Your Time and Money?
The mixed user reviews of KDP Spy raise concerns about its reliability as a
shopping list organizer
or as a tool for
store analysis
. Although it promises to aid users in product research on Amazon, the extension seems to fall short of these claims, based on user feedback.
Given the extension's unpredictable performance, potential users should be wary of investing time and money into it. While some have found workarounds, the average user is looking for an easy-to-use, reliable tool to help with their online shopping wishlist and store analysis tasks. Unfortunately, KDP Spy doesn't seem to meet these expectations.
As you navigate the vast Chrome extension store, remember to do your due diligence. Read user reviews and take note of aggregate ratings. And remember, not all extensions are created equal. There are plenty of other shopping list manager extensions available that can fulfill your online shopping needs with far less hassle.
Conclusion
While KDP Spy seemed promising as an online shopping assistant, it unfortunately falls short based on user experiences. The issues with functionality coupled with the need for a paid subscription make this Chrome extension a questionable investment. Remember, the Chrome extension store offers a plethora of alternatives to help you manage your online shopping wishlist and find the best shopping deals without the headache.
30 Reviews For This Extension
KDP Spy by Book Bolt extension does not work properly. I have to remove it. Please fix it.
What's with the profile creation? Where is the "start" button you are referring to?
This is fantastic. Make sure you view the tutorial video in Book Bolt before using it to get the most out of it.
Works great. Must use on Amazon . com site. Need to search for a niche, click extension, press start. Easy to work when follow the instructions and do the right steps! Great tool and I use it all the time.
When I follow the instructions to the letter, the blue icon in the upper right hand corner doesn't appear, just leaving me out in left field. Is this a scam?
Its not working properly
can't access
Fake app. Does not login using the same BookBolt login details... I won't use BookBolt anymore...
Excellent tool! Great for finding the next hot selling items on Amazon.
I'm having the same problem as others - it reloads the amazon page and erases the data before I can see or save it. Please fix because it should be a great tool!
Same thing is happening to me as other reviews I've read. Does not work at all, amazon (US) refreshes the page. I've reinstalled, cleared cache, and pinned it. And unpinned, and pinned again. Nothing. Must be a glitch?
Not happy with this new version. I waited to write the review until after I had worked with it some. Absolutely terrible.
It works perfectly for me. I read the steps and reviews, so I made sure to pin the extension and I am using Amazon from the US as suggested.
doesn't work. here what I see in the console when I click the extension icon: ``` The resource https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/apesafeframe/ape/sf/desktop/sf-1.50.17224207.js was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window's load event. Please make sure it has an appropriate `as` value and it is preloaded intentionally. ``` ok. it worked when I switched to amazon.com instead amazon.co.uk. for developers to consider
Works for me. Does what it's supposed to.
Extension shows up and loads, but triggers the main amazon page to refresh it's search which causes the extension to close without seconds after populating - great idea but not functional enough to be useful.
This extension shows up in my extension list but not on the browser. I can't see any way to make it work. Disappointing. Would give is 0 stars if I could. Uninstalling.
Load, pin, unload, load....doesn't work at all. It just brings you back to load page. Extremely frustrating. One star only because there's no option for zero.
Just Installed and working perfect, its a great tool, saves my lot of time to chose keyword and categories.
I have read the other reviews since it wasn't working for me, and they are saying it doesn't work as well. I read one that said to pin it, so that's what I did, and it actually works very well after I did that. It actually brings up all the info including comparing it to Google searches, and it also gives you the keywords used on Amazon to search. I was also able to save all the information. Once you pin it, and get it going, it's an awesome extension.
it doesnt work!! needs a patch
there was no point... nice try anyway
It's fast, very fast to close the window. The system is expecting me to be as fast as a computer to process what it showed me in a split second, but I'm not a computer. Very demure and mindful developer, good for you. Here is my 1 star for good job. Keep it up...
It's not working. Very frustrating.
This is not the full version of KDSpy. Not happy.
I haven't been too successful with this. I had to go in and kind of flip flop between KDP spy and amazon to get any research done. I'm sure there's a better way.
It's not working. I did this step by step and still... will not work. I have the extension, log in and it just disappeared. Can't get it to load.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work.
It does what it says but unfortunately the extension disappears after a few seconds just as the others said.
This is not working at all for me. It says it can't read site's data, but it is installed properly. Is this going to get sorted out soon?
