Probably useful, but the UI is so bad it's practically unusable
This is probably a good service and a good deal, but it's buried WAY beneath a really bad UI.
And I mean really bad.
The problem is there is NO WAY to find or filter for blog posts that have a match found. So if you add 1000 blog posts (as I did), there is no easy way to find out if any matched with possible infringing sites.
What you have to do is go to their - incredibly slow - dashboard, and click to load all your posts 12 at a time. So to load 1000 blog posts to see if there are any matches, you have to load more posts 84 times... really slowly. And that will only get worse the more posts you add.
Then, once you click an article to see what site might be infringing it, you find it's your own site, and for no apparent reason. So then you have to click to add your site to the whitelist, and then you must go back and do this for all the other matches against your own site. Because you can't just whitelist your own sites in advance.
On top of this, there is no way to see which sites you have even whitelisted through this process.
What's worse is you get an e-mail telling you some of your posts have possible matches, and that doesn't even link you to a convenient list for you to look at.
So now I have to go load 1000 posts up, click to see them, then go in to a post to add my own site to a whitelist. Then keep doing this. Over, and over, and over.
Long story short, there is ZERO chance Copyrightsworld use this platform for their own work, because no person would ever willingly put themself through this.
It's a shame, because there probably is a useful product buried under there.
Also, the customer service is responsive and friendly.
Just they NEED to fix this UI!

May 9, 2024Hi gandkcreative,
Let me start with the last comment about your server. You currently have 7 blogs connected with your BP account with 1016 posts on them. As you can understand the initial pull of all that data will take some time and effort. After that, only the new data will be pulled in. Agian, we are not scraping, we are using your blogs legit api to get only the data we need. Also, we have now optimised our API requests now and you should see great improvement on that area.
Will follow up addressing all of your points above.
Thank you again for your contrasting feedback.
