Feedback submitted

Merchants find this app essential for updating Shopify themes while preserving customizations. Its automatic backup feature offers peace of mind, and it highlights changes that won't transfer during updates. The app is user-friendly, allowing updates with a few clicks and creating draft copies to keep live sites unaffected. Customer support is praised for being responsive and professional. Many rely on it for maintaining theme compatibility, especially with Out of the Sandbox themes.

I have been supported by Euwi who has been incredibly helpful. I used the app which was good but it did not transfer all of my custom coding! However, I reached out to customer support and received great support from Euwi! Having a human available to actually address your technical issues is always preferable and very much appreciate the help he provided

We have an old Parallax theme which has limited functionality, so we got the app to add the FAQs to our product pages.

I was able to add it to the product pages and it works if you want to add generic FAQs to the pages. However, to get product specific FAQs on each product page you need to add individual metafields for the sub-titles, then each question & each answer. We have close to 100 products so that means hundreds of metafields.

Would great to see this feature added.
