Smart Product Filter & Search

Had issues with breaking Filter and uninstalling but the App itself is perfect. Support helped me quickly to fix a couple of bugs regarding the app and now works perfectly. If you have issues don't hesitate to contact their support which works.

The app functionally overall is pretty impressive. It not only offers you the filter functionality, which is necessary when you have over a certain amount of sku's on the website, but also it has many options to define how the collection page should look on different types of devices.
Support team was always helpful too on finding solutions to issues when installing the theme.
Important to pay some attention to forcing synchronization of the products on the app, as it seems sometimes it may take longer to do that if you do not force it (things like updating product order on a collection page).

Brilliant app and customer service. When I was struggling they used team viewer to directly edit the code. Done within an hour, working perfectly!

I've had this app downloaded for over a week now and i'm really impressed. It filters the products exactly how i wanted and Emma is extremely helpful with answering all of my (many!) queries. She kindly offered to fix a few things i was struggling with and now it's all working perfectly. Thank you Emma! I can't recommend enough.

Good value app & good customer service. would recommend to other stores who want to have a nice filtering menu

Brilliant, they were super quick to resolve any issues we had and always followed up to keep me updated with their progress! Highly efficient! Thank you Shopify!

Nice looking interface, gave my website a lift almost immediately! Easy to use as well. Customer support is amazing, they even helped me to make some changes my theme so that it would work better for the filter. Highly recommended.

Great customer support. It aws an easy discussion about my issue, and their reply was prompt. Please take in mind that it might take some time for them to respond over the weekend, but I give the support a 5/5.

Overall, the app works well for the sole purpose of functioning as a filter & search app. You get a lot of performance and features for the price. Though, there are some flaws in the app that need to be addressed for it to be a GREAT app.

Good...

5/5 stars for support and dev. The Globo team was very quick a responsive to any questions and changes we desired to our site.

5/5 stars for pricing. This app offers basically all the functions of other filter & search apps for a discount price. Good amount of features and capabilities for the money.

5/5 stars for Year Make Model. This feature doesn't pertain to many stores but is a good included feature that may be useful for those who could utilize it.

Bad...

1/5 stars for automated collection sync and product delete. Anytime you make a change to an automated collection within Shopify, it will essentially break the connection between Shopify and the app, displaying the collection without any products. Even though in the breadcrumbs on the collection page it shows there are several pages of products in the collection.

This also follows suit for when products get deleted after a sync. We get new products added everyday. Then products we don't necessarily want on our site. Therefore, we delete product everyday. That then poses another issue where when we delete products, the app will keep the title and pricing data but not the picture. Therefore causing products on our site to look "broken". Everything would clear up once a sync would occur.

Globo has set it up for an automated sync to occur once per day, 5/5 stars! Though, the fact that a sync needs to occur verses just being in time integrated, that blows. Then to perform a manual sync, for us, it can take upwards of an hour based on the amount of products we have. When that sync is occuring, you can't touch anything within filtering, 1/5 stars.

2/5 stars for filter analytics. Since the app is easier on the budget than other filter & search apps, I can't knock the fact that this app gives us some search analytics. But, this app is bare minimum when it comes to search analytics. We have other apps on our other sites that have a much more in depth search analytics where we can make website impacting changes to the site just from the data from the apps search analytics. This app, you really can't get much of any search data from to make impactful decisions and changes.

Conclusion...

This app is good for the sole purpose of functioning as a filter & search app. If you don't alter your collections and tags too often, this is a great app for you! In our case, our site has thousands of products and skus so our site is built around needing to be fluid within automated collections, tagging, and filtering.

I would put this app in the competent area of the skills level. It's better than the novice level apps. But it's not quite in the realm of the expert level apps. This app is great for those looking for most of the features of the top tier filter & search apps, but is easier on your piggybank.

The other app I am comparing this to would be Boost Product Filter & Search, which in my mind, is the best filter & search app on the app store. We have Boost on our other sites and it is as good as it gets to full function with no compromise. Very happy with Boost. I would recommend that as the preference if you can stomach the extra price.

Incredibly easy to use with top-notch support. Replies like and fixes issue lightning quick! Beats all other apps I've tried so far.
