Merchants highly praise this app for its user-friendly interface that allows those without coding skills to create professional-looking landing pages and blogs. They appreciate the responsive customer support, seamless Shopify integration, and extensive customization options that enhance the shopping experience. The app also offers valuable educational resources, making it ideal for non-developers looking to improve website design and functionality.

Hey Sudhir- we tried to get in touch, but it looked like Shopify had closed down your store. Regardless, we are open to feedback about our software. If you experienced a bug or were finding the software lacking in any way, we want to hear about it. Sorry you had a poor experience. Email support@getshogun.com if you need any help. Best of luck with everything. - Nick (Cofounder, Chief Product Officer).

No actual free plan, you're tricked into downloading it only to be brought to a page to give them money.

Can't even see if their templates might be fit for my store, not a super good business model to say you can try it out for free when you're instantly hit with a paywall. That's definitely a false advertising move.

Hi there! I appreciate you taking the time and writing this review while also sharing your feedback with us.

We do offer a Free plan which is available for users and stores who are installing Shogun for the first time as the plan is more of a way to test the app and the editor. However, looking at your account, I see our app was installed 3 months ago, on 2023-05-09 and the Build plan was activated. The app was then uninstalled and reinstalled again on August 1, 2023, which is why you didn't see the Free plan option since the Build plan was the last plan activated on the account.

I can understand the frustration here and I'll be happy to look into this further for you.

I have reached out to you via email and would appreciate it if you would reply back to me. Thanks for your support.

Most of the similar apps offer a free trial including a limited amount of pages such as 1-3. This app advertises a free plan but once you download it there is actually no free plan with pages included. You can build as if you're playing a game but cannot publish anything to test it out without one of their paid plans. Just thought that should be disclosed. In case you may be considering another app that allows 1-3 published pages before you have to upgrade.

Hi again, Vonzedric!
I tried to connect via the contact number we had on your account, but I wasn't able to get in touch with you or the team. However, I have followed up via email so that I can get in touch and hopefully resolve the misunderstanding.

I'll look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi there, Vonzedric! Thanks for taking the time and sharing your feedback with us.

I am sorry to hear that you felt we advertise a free plan but don't offer a free plan with pages. The free plan active on your account allows you to test pages and publish 1 page. We offer a further 10 days of the free trial if you wish to explore and test our other plans with more features, access to more pages that you can publish, and access to other elements we offer.

I see we didn't receive a support request to clear any misunderstandings around this, but my apologies for the inconvenience.

My colleague has reached out to you via email and I have reached out in a separate thread with more details. You can reinstall the app to test the free plan or use the free trial and I'd appreciate it if you could reply back to us.

I'll look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Thanks for your support.

Compared to other page builders that I have tried this one is complete trash! You can't even use all the features unless you pay for it. Not even if you want to create only one page. Seems like a complete money grab.

Update: Because of the limited features in the free plan you are not able to fully test the app. The app did not have the features that i needed.

Hi again, Kyree. I see you updated the feedback and the review and I wanted to write back here as I haven't heard back from you on the email I sent.

The Free plan is limited and we highlight the same on our pricing and app listing so that our users are aware of the features the plan offers. I am looking forward to learning more about what feature were you looking to use and were not able to.

We also offer 10-day of free trial on all our paid plans if you wish to test more features or fully test the app. I wasn't able to locate any support conversation about the missing features as that would have allowed our team to help you understand the plan or the features better and I also noticed that our app was only installed for less than 5 minutes.

We appreciate the feedback from our users as that helps to improve the app and I would appreciate it if you could reply back to my email and share more information about what was missing from the Free plan that you were looking to use

Thanks!

Hey there, Kyree! Thanks for taking the time and sharing your feedback here.

I was taking a look at your account and noticed that our app was uninstalled within 5 minutes of it being installed and I was a bit curious to learn more about what feature were you looking to use and were not able to.

Our Free plan is limited and is more of a way to test the app and see how it works for your requirements. Our plans do mention that the Free plan comes with 1 published page with Limited templates, but it does offer the basic page-building elements to get you started.

I am sorry to hear that you felt the Free plan wasn't up to your requirements. However, I did want to understand the use case further on what exactly were you looking to create and wasn't able to as that would allow us to look into this further and assist you better.

I have also reached out to you via email to understand this further and we'd greatly appreciate it if you could reply back to us.

Thanks for your support.

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.

Hey Vincent,

I've reached out to you via phone but was unable to reach you at this time. I've sent you an email as well.

We're so sorry to hear that you're experiencing an issue with Shogun Page Builder and we want to get that fixed as soon as possible so you can enjoy all of the features of our app!

It sounds like you may be experiencing a delay in syncing of your pages/products or potentially it's an issue with javascript in the theme not allowing our editor to populate. I'm confident that we can resolve the issue quickly if you were willing to give the app another chance.

If you are willing to, please re-install the app and let us know and we can look into that issue right away.

We're also happy to jump on a call if you'd prefer. Let us know the best number we can reach and a timeframe that works for you and we will do our very best to accommodate.

Thanks so much and looking forward to hearing back from you!
