Shopify Trust & Safety

Garbage, everytime I update the theme is wrecks the customisations. Takes days to figure out, even though I have ticked the ,aintain theme customisations.

Deffo not worth paying monthly for, am actively looking for another theme.

Now i can't even get the theme updater to work. Shopify are trying to dig me out of the mess caused by out of the sandbox!

Update to answer:
For those who read the response: This in every way incorrect.
Our custom code is not slowing down our theme. That is not the issue and our correspondance have been on the same ticket all alone, which has been replied by us continuously. The app has been of no use, please do not disregard your responsibility by making it seem the fault us on us.

Downloaded the app to carry over some customs codes (page speed improvements only). The updated theme version didn't even carry over our photos and contacted support.
After weeks of requesting updates, finally they reported the issue was fixed and all possible content was carried over.
What they did not mention (or may not have checked) was the fact that the updated theme was not functional, even the cart did not work and you could not place an order along with other major errors.
I was OK to waive the custom codes and just proceed with a standard carry over, but their solution was to hire Storetasker.
I am so disappointed and frustrated of having to wait weeks and finally be referred to a more expensive solution. I can't even proceed with the standard theme unless I hire Storetasker. In addition our Google Traffic is down by almost 50%!
As soon as possible we will migrate to a different theme by a different developer.
If I could I would give 0 starts!

Clicking on app -store health check- and a spinning wheel, then nothing. So out of the -sand-box this app does not work.

Possibly the biggest pile of poo ever dumped on so many by so few.

Doesn't work

We paid $89 to use this app to update a theme that was registered and compatible. It did not carry over any of the work we had put into customizing the theme through the Shopify sections and theme editor. We're not even speaking about development work - just settings through the theme. The quotes we have gotten from developers to carry over the settings have been extremely expensive and all over the place. It's as if developers know you're in a tough spot s they see how much they can charge you. Do not make the same mistake we did - they do not issue refunds and there are tons of bad reviews here for a reason.

Greedy people.
Buy their premium theme and now they want to take away the free update feature and charge you 9$ per month. To update.
Else do customize from scartch everybtime.
Greed at its top.
Dont buy anymore.

Superstore theme - awful - full of bugs! The filters and the menu stop working when I select the infinite scroll pagination. Support has been unresponsive and does not seem to care. Avoid out of the sandbox. Worst company I have ever come across

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE service. This company updates their theme every two weeks but every time you update your theme, it messes up all your custom coding. They don't have a phone number to contact, only by email, which is fine - if they actually respond and help with your concerns.
