Installed app and this did not work (Yuva theme). The field simply resumed blank on the product page after setting items to display. Contacted support for help. Didn’t know what the issue was (even after gaining access to my store) and escalated to developers who after 24 hours still had no response. Asked the support

Wow! With this product I'm able to better optimise my SEO without affecting my generic product descriptions. Since I started using it, I've only seen my page go up on Google ranking, which has generated more sales and new customer engagement.
We received an email from HulkApps informing us that there was a critical issue with Metafields and that they lost 689 of our media files and are unable to recover them. Their only solution is to offer us a $30 credit and a discount on their products. Absolutely unacceptable.
Migration support varies by app and category. Variant Description OMG and Hulk Custom Fields Metafields both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Hulk Custom Fields Metafields" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
