DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
After deleting the app my store was ruined. All of my collection pages were gone, and I had to manually restore them.

Hi Kayla's Garden team,

Thank you so much for your candid feedback and we are sorry to hear about your concern.

Please allow us to explain that when you delete the application, the Boost Instant search widget will be automatically removed from your theme, and your theme's original search box and search engine will be reinstated. To return to the theme's original product grid, please follow the instructions we have shared in our help center here (https://help.boostcommerce.net/article/727-how-to-revert-theme-setup). We always send an uninstallation guide to merchants' registered emails when they uninstall the app to ensure their theme works normally after uninstalling.

Please rest assured that none of our app's code remains in your store.

Furthermore, our team sent you an email with detailed instructions on how to revert to your theme's original product grid.

We hope this clarification sheds light on the situation, and we eagerly await your response to the corresponding ticket.

Best regards,

Boost Team

Hi Stelth team,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered while using our app.

As we haven't had a chance to be informed about this issue from you yet, we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We have reached out to you via email to assist you in getting your store up and running with our app.

Please allow us to clarify that during the initial installation, the app automatically applies to your duplicated theme, not your live theme. This allows our customers to test the app's features and customize the layout on the duplicate theme without affecting the live theme.

We have also provided step-by-step instructions in our Help Center page in case you decide to uninstall the app. This will help you remove any remaining app code and prevent potential bugs.

Our team is dedicated to providing prompt assistance and maintaining transparency throughout the process.

We eagerly await your feedback and would greatly appreciate it if you consider giving our app another chance.

Kind regards,
Boost team

Hi VitalHome Finds team,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the issues you’ve encountered with our app; we haven’t received any support requests from you yet.

Please note that our latest V3 app can replicate 90% of the original layout of 15 different themes (Dawn included), but if you’re using a different theme or have customized the layout of an original theme, our theme setup will apply the default theme. Rest assured this does NOT affect your live theme after installing the app but duplicated theme only.

Although the new layout may appear different, we do have a tool called “Edit Visual Design” in the “Theme” section that allows users to adjust and customize it with ease before publishing the theme.

We have reached out to you via email to offer our support to make this happen. We eagerly await your response and would be delighted if you give our app another try.

Best regards,
Boost Team

We've been using this app for 4-5 years and the customer support has gone downhill. With our use-case, customers use the search function 70-80% of the time making it a critical part of our business. Version 3 of the app loads much slower than V2. It's so slow that customers often mistakenly use Shopify's native search before the app even loads in. Our conversion rates dropped considerably after switching to V3 that we had to revert back to V2. When we contact customer support the solution they provided is "to wait for the app to load, then use the app's search". How do you expect us to tell this to our customers or change their search behaviour?

Terrible customer service, I have to constantly repeat myself in order to get their bugs fixed and they tried to charge me for that as well. Their customer service rep Jayson is the biggest time waster there is, at one point he wasted an entire month of my time without doing ANYTHING. Look elsewhere, these people have lost their reputation and their competitors are getting ahead of them. I've been a customer for over 5 years and I'm leaving.

If you are like me and periodically like to make new collections and sell items from the new collection on the same day, I would steer clear of this app. They have been having issues with their sync function for quite a while now making it to where new collections do not display any products. They have assured me in the past that this is a temporary issue that they are fixing, and yet it persists. If you are more of a planner and your collections are made a while before you will ever send traffic to them, then this app may serve you well.

Terrible Terrible app!!!!! I don't write reviews often and feel the need to express how disappointed i am with this app. I do not remember installing this app and discovered i am being charged a fee each month. I uninstalled the app and wrote to the developers asking why i am being charged a fee. I have received no reply and i am still being charged. Be very careful with this app. I am very very disappointed by this app and the customer service.

Hello Avalonia Team,

Thank you for your feedback. It appears that there might have been some misunderstanding along the way. Allow us to clarify.

It's important to note that the installation and subscription processes are carried out and approved on your end, as we do not possess the authorization or access to approve any charges from your store. We also checked the amount of activities of your usage and they indeed appeared.

When we initially received your email regarding the charged fee, our support agent promptly responded but it seems like it got lost in your mailbox. We also sent a couple more emails in the hope that they could reach you well this time. Could you please kindly check?

Our commitment is to provide prompt assistance to all our customers, and transparency remains a core value for us. Should you have any additional queries or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are always available for continued communication.

Warm regards,

Boost Team

We used this app mainly to split variants of a product into individual products on a collection page. Problem is with every launch, the products do not display for a long time after you publish them. For example today we publish two products 15 minutes early to give plenty of time for the products to be displayed before Launch. 30 minutes post launch the products were still not displaying. thats 45 minute delay. it happens everytime we launch a product or a collection. It is completely unacceptable. Today is the last time. I will be uninstalling the app, Never recommending it. If i could leave ZERO STARS i would
