Sledge: Product Filter, Review

We use this app to display product filters horizontally on Collections pages, as well as stock count on product cards. The setup was easy and it does exactly what we wanted it to do. I have had to contact support a few times and every time they have been great.

Please be aware: you will not believe what they have done. Do not trust this company or this app with your website. Without mixing emotions, we are outlining the issues one by one:

1.Without any warning, dispute, or incident — right as we entered Q4 — they uninstalled the Sledge app on their end. They did this without providing any notice and without responding to any of our emails. This is a clear violation of Shopify’s developer and merchant terms, and an extremely unprofessional move. They even did it without collaborator access, which directly violates the terms, and we will be filing a complaint.

2.When we attempted to reinstall the app, we received the error: “This app cannot be installed on this store.”

3. They repeatedly accessed our site from different IPs and VPNs. Shopify’s system flagged this as spam and blocked their IPs. They then assumed that we had blocked them. We even have emails where they admitted this. When we asked them to provide their IPs so we could check, they refused.

4.The support team does not respond to questions for days. When they do acknowledge issues, they admit them but do not fix anything.

5.The backend UI is extremely confusing, and although they say they will help, they never actually provide assistance.

6.Hamdan deliberately ignores emails. Hidayat Sagita, who uninstalled the app, is most likely the owner of the company. Their own website does not even have a contact page, and many of their pages are generic placeholders.

5.They run their services through offstack.io, but that site itself is just a single-page 404-like placeholder.

6.You cannot find any legitimate information about this company, which is a major red flag.

That’s all for now — we may edit this review further if necessary.

Have been exploring various filtering apps. Initially I did not like to UI of this app, but that was totally irrellevant: The developer could tune its functionality and design totally towards our needs. Not only that; we use a store with 21 languages. Some apps allow you to translate the headers of the different metafields we use but were not able to put the translated metafields from Shopify, but this one did! Initially our collections were loading a bit slower than with using the standard build in filtering from our theme, but guess what? they fixed that as well. It looks like I can ask support of this app anything and they have the skil and knowledge to do it. If I could give them 10 star, I would have done it.
