They just split the Personalzation feature into New App.
And they did mentioned "About Personalization: it’s no longer available for new Shopify installs after Nov 12, 2025, but existing users aren’t affected. If you were using Personalized Experiences, pages stay published and everyone just sees the Default Variant when MTUs run out."
Guess what, someone just pushed the new app and REMOVED THE YEARS OF PERSONALZATION work. Just PUFF, GONE for ever.
Hi Ravi,
I’m really sorry for the frustration this caused. I completely understand how alarming it must feel to see something that looks like years of work suddenly disappear.
To clarify, your personalization work has not been deleted. We pushed an unpublished version update, and your personalization can still be found in the versions tool, to which you can revert.
We recognize that this experience wasn’t clear or smooth, especially for customers actively using these features in Page Builder. That’s on us.
In response to your feedback, we’ve already re-enabled these features for you so you can continue working as expected while we reassess the transition approach.
If you’re still seeing issues, we’d really like to take a closer look at your specific setup. Please reach out to our support team directly, and we’ll prioritize resolving this for you.
Thank you for calling this out.

Worst app experience ever!
Hi there, Saul. Thanks for sharing the feedback with us.
I am sorry to hear about your experience.
I was looking at the conversation that you had with our support team, where my colleague was assisting you, and it looks like the issue was related to the removal of the product page. That usually happens when you unpublish the page in our app and then revert it. The state of the page will remain unpublished and that will mean the live page throws an error as the product is no longer live.
However, my colleague was able to restore and republish the page to ensure it worked and I can see you were able to revert the page again when you confirmed this was working correctly.
I see you have since uninstalled the app.
I am reaching out on the same thread to learn more about the issue is there was anything else that was causing an issue. I would appreciate if you could reply to our outreach so we can understand the use case further.
Thanks for your support and understanding.

I only installed this app hoping to find a way how I can use this app for our website but there is no trial to find out and you have to pay right away to use the app. However, on the back end the app installed various code to my theme without me using the app. As a result and because of their permissions to be able to change pages, some of my pages have been completely removed of text.
Uninstalling the app and will never use it again. Suggest PageFly app instead.
Hey there, Bart.
I am sorry to hear about the issues that have led to this 1 star review for our app.
I was looking at your account, and I have a few things that I would like to clarify.
1 - We offer 10 days of free trial on all our plans. When you select the trial, Shopify will proceed with the authorisation of the upcoming/recurring monthly charges. This happens when you select the plan to trial. That doesn't mean you will be charged right away. You can uninstall the app before the 10-day free trial period to cancel.
2 - Any app that is installed will add some code to the theme to ensure it functions correctly. The same happens with Shogun. When you install the app, Shogun adds minimal code to ensure you can create or edit pages. This is normal behavior. However, you can always remove the code using our detailed guide if you are not looking to use the app.
I see you imported 2 pages to us, and you will see the Shogun code in the theme.
3 - I am not able to locate any support conversation under your email address about these issues. Our team is more than happy to assist you if you have any doubts or questions. I see you refer to some of your pages having issues due to Shogun where the text is removed. If you could provide the example pages along with the screenshot of what text is removed, our team will be happy to check. BTW, I want to let you know that installing Shogun doesn't cause such issues, but we can only check when we have an example.
My colleague, Kevin, reached out to you via email to understand the issues further and help you, but I see the message hasn't been read and it has been 2 days.
We request you to please reply to that thread so that we can help you better.

Don't use this app. Find something else.
The app worked fine until they moved all the standard features to only be available in higher plans.
Image quality is an issue now on the main plan.
They want you to jump from $39/month to $99/month.
Embarassing for a SaaS company to act this way. I hope a lot of people cancel and move to more affordable competitors.
Hi there Aaron! Thanks for taking the time to log your feedback with us.
I am sorry to hear that your experience hasn't been a positive one.
I had a look to double-check and found that Image Quality Settings haven't historically been available on the Build plan and weren't moved up when we implemented the current plans. This hasn't been specifically raised as an issue before; still, we're taking this feedback and are looking at retroactively granting the capability to the current 'Build' plan, given the new price point.
Regarding the price increases - a big part of this is related to significant changes to our product and company. We were a “page builder” for a long time; however, we’ve expanded 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.
While the entry plan has increased, we’ve also added features, including our AI page designer, AI text generation features, and grid-based editing. We also increased the page limit on our entry plan to 50 pages and removed page limits for any plan higher than entry.
While there are cheaper alternatives, if you’re looking to build and optimize your shopping experience, we are still quite budget-conscious compared to most AB testing, personalization, and SEO software providers.
Lastly, you can contact us any time at support@getshogun.com, and we will do our best to help.

I'd give 0 stars if I could
Shogun is slow and you have to update a page manually one at a time. It's extremely painful to make any changes, let alone make a single small change across all pages.
The app has decided to double its costs recently, making it completely prohibitive for any business trying to scale.
SUMMARY: SAVE YOUR MONEY, HIRE A DEV, OR USE ANOTHER APP. You will simply get no value in this app
Hey there, Eric. Thanks for taking the time and sharing your feedback.
I am sorry to hear that your experience hasn't been a positive one.
I wasn't able to locate a conversation with respect to the slowness you were facing, but our features such as bulk publishing, theme sections, and global snippets are used by our users to make changes across multiple pages.
Having said that, we do change and update the pricing for our plans, which is normal behavior. Your account was subscribed to our legacy plan and that plan is no longer offered. We don't force our users to move away from their grandfathered legacy plans. However, if you uninstall or reinstall the app, the legacy plan will be lost. This is something our support team explained further via email. There isn't a way to activate that deprecated plan again.
I see you have since uninstalled the app, however, I also see you had been installed for a while with us and I apologize if you felt there was no value.
I also see you are in touch with our team to get some further assistance and our team, as always is more than happy to help you.

Shogun Page Builder
I want to be fair. We have used Shogun for years to build our pages, and for the most part, its core functionality as a page builder has been great.
However, we recently discovered a critical technical issue that is being caused directly by the Shogun app. It is injecting conflicting code onto our product pages that completely breaks our Google Rich Snippets for product reviews. This means our star ratings are not showing up in Google search results, which is a significant blow to our organic traffic and sales.
The most frustrating part is the complete lack of support. We have now reached out three times over the past [mention time frame, e.g., two weeks] with detailed, evidence-based reports of the issue, and we have received zero response.
An app is only as good as the support behind it. As a long-time, loyal customer, it's incredibly disappointing to be ignored when facing a problem that is actively harming our business. Until this is resolved, Shogun is causing more damage than it's worth. I am willing to update this review if and when their support team finally responds and helps us fix this critical bug.
Hey Nick, thank you so much for leaving us a review. Your feedback means so much to us! We're glad that our templates and custom options have helped you build great pages. Our customer support team is always there to assist if you should need it in the future.

Near impossible to remove their code from your site if you don't want to use it. interface is much more clunky than they'd have you believe. Don't recommend.
Update - 11th June, 2025
Hi again, Taylor. I see you were in a conversation with our team to help figure this out, and while our team offered to help, you were able to self-resolve the issue.
We appreciate the update and apologize for any trouble or inconvenience this situation has caused.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Hey there, Taylor. Thanks for sharing your feedback in the form of this review.
It looks like my colleagues tried to help with this via email and have requested some help from your end. We need to collab access code to send the collab access request so we can check your theme files and help remove the code.
I want to let you know that when you uninstall our app, the code remains in the theme to ensure your pages that you edited and published with Shogun continue to work live. However, if you are not looking to use the app, we recommend reverting any imported pages before you uninstall to ensure they work.
I see you had 19 pages in Shogun and simply deleting the code would cause issue where the pages may lose the CSS or the formatting. Having said that, our team provided with the detailed instructions on how to remove the code, and have even offered to help further by deleting the code for you.
We request you check the email thread and help us with the collaborator access code so we can send the request and check the theme files for you.
I am not sure what felt clunky as I don't see any other support thread about the same. if you were facing an issue you could have shared the feedback with our team and we would have been happy to assist you. I do see you initially installed our app on April 13, 2020 and then reinstalled this month.
We will look forward to hearing back from you on the same email thread so we can help you further.

Uninstalled the App and got charged nonetheless.
Hi there!
Thanks for your feedback!
We wouldn't expect you to have been charged if you uninstalled the app while you were still in the trial period.
Unfortunately, we no longer have your email, as it was redacted (standard procedure on uninstallation). Could you send us an email to support@getshogun.com referencing this? Then, we can look into and resolve this issue for you.
We are looking forward to hearing from you!

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.

Whenever I need help from Shogun, there is no help. They want you to hire a professional to do your need on their app.
Hey there, Ozkan! Thanks for leaving us a review.
I am sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience with our app and the support team.
I see my colleague James has been in touch via email.
I apologize in case you felt there has been no help. It looks like what you were looking to achieve isn't a native feature when it comes to the product box element we have. However, we try out best to guide you in the right direction or share a workaround when possible.
We do value your feedback and suggestions as it helps us to work on features that would help all our users.
