We have been using PageFly until we ran into some site speed issue and decided to try this app. Although the drag and drop option is slightly easier than that of Pagefly, overall features are pretty much the same and won't explain the price difference. However, the worst part is that in our mobile version visitors cannot click on the products and our ticket has been left unattended for a week now, and counting. No one responds to even multiple update requests--let alone a solution. From the onboarding agent to support agents, all the parties are included in all 3-4 mails and no one cares to answer or write a word about it. We receive 80% of our traffic from mobile, and basically visitors are unable to view our products. We NEVER experienced such a technical problem left in the dark with Pagefly. Regardless the problem they always fixed it in a day or less. Just a food for thought for your decision process...

Shogun Page Builder
I played with this app for 5 minutes on an existing product page. I didn't get the results I wanted and I went to delete the page in Shogun so I could start over. It ended up unpublishing the product page in my site and there is no option in the Shopify backend to republish it even though it is listed as Active. I had to call Shopify support who told me that there is Shogun code in the product page that the developer will have to delete and that there is nothing she can do to help me. Horrible experience. Apps should add functionality to your site, not ruin it.
Hey Katie,
So sorry that you had this experience with Shogun Page Builder. I'm glad that we could get this all sorted over the phone. We can certainly learn and improve from this experience. I will speak with my team and we will brainstorm some ideas for making product imports and reverts more natural for new users. If you have any other questions or if anything strange occurs, please let us know. We have 24/7 support here to help you.
Thanks so much for your understanding :)

I just really wish they were upfront and direct with accurate information pertaining to the product offering. I suggested review of mis directed information and found myself to be the QC instead of the customer. Leading to the idea that I would forever be the Project QC manager and that is not the role I am to play. I now have to undo all the code (which also was never suggested by the developer to duplicate the theme prior to installation) There was just a push to install and setup. I did wait on parts of this as I was finding their disinterest in recognizing the standing issues in their software. I hope they take the programming and feedback more serious in the future. I would love to see a change in the final updated product when it is out of beta release as well as a better attitude towards the people providing research to the errors in their programming instead of them stating they do not exist.
Hey there, Frank!
I'm sorry to hear that your Shogun experience wasn't a positive one. We can certainly understand the concerns.
We appreciate the feedback you have provided and I do want to mention that the issue you were facing has been elevated so that we can resolve it at the earliest.
Shogun makes very small additions to the Shopify theme on installation - https://getshogun.com/help/en/articles/3638504-what-additions-does-shogun-make-to-the-theme
However, we'll be happy to assist you further if you would like us to remove this.
I have also reached out to you via email so that if you have any further questions or issues, we can look into them for you.

We spent days working on our design only to find out the "Add to Cart" items don't add to cart. They recommend custom coding. Pretty much defeats the whole purpose. Uninstalled!
Zac- apologies for the delay in response here. I actually recall this review, and remember that their was an issue with your theme. We'd be happy to help fix it. Free re-trial, and we'll refund any amount spent. Feel free to email support@getshogun.com and ask for Nick. Thanks. - Nick (Cofounder, Shogun)
No se puede probar, el pricing publicado en el store no es el mismo que ofrece la app al momento de instalar. No ofrece opción gratuita como promete, el plan mas barato son USD39 contra 20USD que ofrece en el listing de la app.
Hi, Julian!
Thank you for your review and for your feedback. I am sorry that you have had a negative experience.
Our Free and Starter plans are currently only available to new users of the app, at the moment, though I will be sure to pass on this feedback to our internal teams for review. Apologies for any confusion that this caused!
My colleague has reached out to you with some more information, we would love the opportunity to turn this negative experience around for you and look forward to hearing back from you.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch.

I really tried to like it but it was not working properly. Images would not show and little bugs here and there. Maybe I have the wrong theme for this to work.
Hi there! My name is Joe from the Shogun Customer Support team.
I can definitely understand your frustration about this and really want to thank you for bringing it to our attention. I attempted to reach out to you via phone but wasn’t able to get ahold of you. I’ve sent you an email as well and look forward to hearing back :)
It's quite possible that the theme you've chosen to use in Shopify uses Javascript to display parts of the page. Having said that, the Shogun editor does not load Javascript by default since it can sometimes cause issues in the editor. This is very likely what was causing the loading issue that you were seeing.
I’m confident that we can solve this from our end, but please keep in mind that we can only troubleshoot active accounts. I noticed that you've already uninstalled Shogun, but if you decide to give it another shot, we're more than happy to re-enable your trial once you reinstall the app (without having to choose a plan).
We hope to have you back on the team soon and my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this has caused! Please feel free to reach out to me if you ever have any other questions or concerns, and have a great weekend. :-)

I was excited to use this for my product pages. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with non-sectioned versions of Parallax. I left it installed and continued to manually code my page. Later, I deleted the app and my new product page is gone.
Hey Victor- Sorry to hear you had a negative experience with Shogun, but we can help! Shogun works with almost all themes, and it does work with the Parallax theme. We have reached out to you, but have not heard back in a while. Please email our technical support team so we can help get you sorted: support@getshogun.com. Looking forward to solving this with you. - Nick (Cofounder, Chief Product Officer)
the "free plan" doesn't actually allow you to do anything useful. more overpriced garbage.

Hi again, Sarah!
I have been trying to get in touch with you and haven't heard back from you. I'd be happy to assist you further if you could reply back to the email thread or help me with a phone number that I can use to get in touch with you.
Thanks!

Hi again, Sarah! I tried to reach out via the phone number we had on the account and I wasn't able to connect with you.
I see you have decided to uninstall the app, however, I didn't notice the app was utilized to test our elements or to design the page (s) further that would offer a better understanding of what the app can allow you to achieve and I apologize for any misunderstanding or inconvenience here.
I haven't heard back from you via email either and I wanted to check if I can connect with you to discuss the issue further or understand your requirements.
Thanks for your support.

Hi there, Sarah. I appreciate you taking the time to install our app and sharing your feedback in the form of this 1-star review.
We take the feedback seriously as it helps us to understand the concerns and also improve our app.
The Free plan as suggested is limited when it comes to features and elements. It is a way for our users to test the basic functionality of the app, get a feel for the editor and see if this would be a good fit for the requirements. It offers 1 publishable page.
I am sorry to hear that you feel the Free plan doesn't allow you to do anything useful and we'd be interested to learn more about what exactly were you looking to use the Free plan for.
Was there something specific you were looking to achieve?
Is there something specific that you wanted to do and were not able to?
We offer a 10-day free trial on our paid plans that will offer access to more pages, more features, and the elements we offer. Please feel free to activate the trial of any of our plans to test more features and elements.
I'll be happy to speak to you over the phone or via a Zoom call if that helps so that I can answer any questions you may have and assist you better in hopes of turning this negative experience into a positive one.
I have followed up via email as well and I will be looking forward to hearing back from you soon.

This app is absolute trash and they have no customer support.
---UPDATE---
Hi again, Archer! I hope you are doing well.
I wanted to check if you received my last message via email.
I also tried to reach out to you via phone and wasn't able to connect. I did leave a voice message but haven't heard back from you.
I'll be glad to assist you further with the questions and the issues if you could reply back to me.
--------------------------------------------------
Hey there, Archer! Thanks for leaving us a review and sharing your feedback with us.
I am sorry to hear that your experience with Shogun and the support team hasn't been a positive one. I'll be more than happy to assist you and understand the issues further.
It looks like there has been some misunderstanding here. I was going through the support conversations and our team has responded to every question right away. However, I suspect our replies were not received at the email address you used to reach out to us. This can happen is the email service provider is blocking the domain or if the replies end up in the spam folder.
I have reached out via email in a separate thread and I will try and connect via phone to learn about the pain points further. We are always happy to assist our users and we'd surely like to turn this experience around.
Please let me know if you receive my email and I'll look forward to resolving the issues for you. Thanks for your support.

expensive and i thought templates would be better. theyre outdated and crappy
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback!
We completely understand if the templates you looked at didn't meet your expectations; the template library is something that we may revisit at a future date.
However, as you may have noticed, we have been focusing on expanding our offering to include core optimization features, including AB Testing, Targeted Experiences (personalize content to audience), SEO tools for keyword discovery, AI-assisted blog generation, and page performance monitoring.
Candidly, if you’re looking solely for a “page build” function, we may not be the best-fit solution. However, if you're looking to optimize your storefront and set yourself up for success, Shogun is the answer.
