Hulk Advanced Wishlist

I trusted someone from Hulk Advanced Wishlist to install the app on my website (after they offered). I thought it would be a simple process, as it's just someone installing the app, how hard can it be?

It took them just 5 minutes to wreck my cart and login button trying to place their icon on my website. Not only did it look awful (icons all over the place), they also somehow managed to change the size of my cart icon so it's now pixelated.

No big issue, I thought, I'd just ask them to remove the code and put it back. We're now a month along trying to have that happen and Hulk Advanced Wishlist has done nothing to rectify the situation. I've had to send multiple emails and even speak to Shopify, and still nothing.

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY to install their own app on your website. I can't believe I am typing this. But there we go.

I'll update this when the saga is finally over.

The app is fine so far. I just have the cheapest tier so I also have the fewest features. It does the basics which is what I'm paying for so no complaints about the actual app. It is a bummer how limited I am with automations and Shopify Flow integrations though. It looks like you have to upgrade to get access to those.

My Shopify theme has a lot of customizations so I basically couldn't set anything up myself, which honestly I expected and is neither here nor there. Why I only gave it 4 stars is because while everyone I spoke to was friendly and helpful while we were speaking, it took quite a bit to actually get a response and then get the work done that I requested. Customer service chat was great, and the only way I was able to get anything done. It's just there were a lot of unanswered emails and waiting for responses before I finally decided to turn to chat is all, which was a little frustrating.

Great cooperation with the app team/devs to get our customizations up and running! Always nice to find an app that is online during our working hours as well.

REPEATED BUGS, POOR IMPLEMENTATION, AND CRITICAL TRACKING FAILURE — DISAPPOINTING

Update (June 2025): This review replaces our original 5-star rating from December. We are now downgrading our rating due to a series of unresolved issues, misleading support communication, and the discovery of serious flaws that impacted both performance and analytics integrity.

We’ve used Hulk Wishlist for over 6 months on a Shopify store and encountered a disturbing mix of bugs, bloated scripts, and tracking interference — all of which remained undiagnosed or ignored by support for months.

New and critical discovery: Hidden script injections caused tracking breakdowns

Contrary to what Hulk’s support claimed, the app does inject both the Meta Pixel and Google Analytics tags if you enter them in the app’s settings.

After weeks of unexplained duplicates in our analytics and debugging every part of our Tag Manager setup, we finally traced the issue back to Hulk’s hidden tracking injection — which was overriding our TagFly/GTM setup and breaking proper consent management.

Once we removed the IDs from the Hulk settings, all duplicate events disappeared instantly, and:
• Our mobile and desktop Lighthouse scores jumped by over 10 points
• Our page load times improved
• Our event tracking returned to normal
• We realized we had uninstalled multiple unrelated apps in the process — wrongly suspected due to Hulk’s silent interference

This is not only unacceptable from a technical standpoint — it’s a massive waste of time, and it undermines trust in the app. Either support was not informed, or they deliberately avoided acknowledging the root cause. In both cases, it’s not serious.

⸻

Summary of persistent problems:
• Wishlist hearts appear above full-screen menus — bad z-index management, still not fixed.
• No wishlist counter displayed on product thumbnails anymore, although it used to be there.
• No admin control over when and where the script loads.
• Core functionality like wishlist buttons randomly fail to load.
• The script loads on every page, even irrelevant ones like cart/policy pages, increasing bloat.
• add_to_wishlist tracking is unreliable or blocked entirely when JS errors occur.
• Layout shifts (CLS) caused by the app still penalize SEO and UX.

⸻

Support: Quick to reply, unhelpful in substance

Hulk’s team replies quickly, but the answers are often off-topic or non-technical. It took days to escalate the malformed document.write() bug, and the latest tracking issue (which should have been documented and warned about) went completely undetected for months.

⸻

Timeline of failures (Nov 2024 – Jun 2025):
• Nov 2024 – Wishlist script bloats all pages unnecessarily.
 → Custom metafield workaround added by us. Still not fixed
• Dec–Jan – Wishlist button fails to load on some product pages.
 → Unstable and unresolved
• Jan – GTM tracking starts failing.
 → Root cause (Hulk script) undiagnosed until June
• Mar – Wishlist counters on product images disappear.
 → Still missing
• Apr – Inconsistent triggering of add_to_wishlist events.
 → Still unreliable
• June – Critical JS error discovered (document.write() with invalid HTML)
 → Breaks all downstream scripts (GTM, Meta, Pinterest, analytics).
 → Still not fixed 7+ days after report
• Ongoing – Wishlist icons appear above navigation menus.
 → Still broken

⸻

Final word:

We expected far more reliability, transparency, and control from an app claiming Shopify Plus compatibility. This situation has damaged our ad attribution, slowed down our site, and wasted dozens of hours chasing bugs the app introduced.

Unless we see immediate fixes and proper communication from Hulk, we will be uninstalling the app.

Do not use this app if you rely on accurate analytics, clean code, or performance.

Such a positive experience. I started with a different wishlist app that had more ratings and reviews, had trouble with the most basic functions and customer service was a joke. Danna helped me with Hulk in minutes finetuning everything as a collaborator and had me set in no time at all. Absolutely relieved and happy

Very simple to set up and navigate. Help & Support is also quick to answer and fast to resolve. Eager to let my customers try out the wishlist feature!

Exceptional App and Outstanding Team!

We've been using the Hulk Wishlist app for a while now, and it has been an absolute game-changer for our store. The app itself is incredibly intuitive and has enhanced our customers' shopping experience by allowing them to easily save their favorite products.

What truly sets Hulk Wishlist apart, though, is the team behind it. They are always attentive and extremely responsive, going above and beyond to ensure any questions or issues are addressed promptly. Their dedication to providing top-notch support is unparalleled, and they consistently demonstrate a deep commitment to customer satisfaction.

We've worked with many apps and teams in the past, but none come close to the level of excellence that Hulk Wishlist offers. If you're looking for the best wishlist app on Shopify, look no further – this is the one to choose. A big thank you to the Hulk Apps team for their outstanding service and support!

Great app and customer service!

Get it, what are you waiting for?

This app does exactly what I needed and does it extremely well. I have a Springsteen collector store and needed an easy way for customers to wishlist items then easily return to the store and move them to their cart. I needed to match my store color branding, and reasonably priced. I could not be happier with this app and the support provided on DAY 1.

I am a novice with technology and did not want anything to do with coding and it wasn't necessary. I highly recommend this wishlist app as I had used others and uninstalled them. There are no surprises and their support is 5-star.

Amazing Experience with Nitesh at Hulk Apps!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Nitesh, a Customer Success Executive at Hulk Apps, and I cannot recommend him enough! He dedicated over an hour and a half to help me install a wishlist feature on my website, and the results were flawless.

Nitesh's extensive knowledge and technical expertise were evident throughout the process, but what truly set him apart was his patience and attention to detail. He took the time to fully understand my brand's colors, fonts, and overall design aesthetic, ensuring that the wishlist blended seamlessly with my site. It was as if he knew exactly what my vision was and how to bring it to life.

Nitesh, you are hands down one of the best developers I have ever worked with. Your professionalism, understanding, and commitment to perfection have made my website look absolutely stunning. Thank you for making the process so smooth and enjoyable. Hulk Apps is lucky to have you on their team!

If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Nitesh is your guy. Highly recommend!
