This is a great companion app to the OOTS themes.
We hit a few stumbling blocks updating an old theme full of little customisations, but the support team was helpful and swift - thank you, Corey!

The new sections are a truly welcome feature, and choosing to install only the ones you need makes a lot of sense.

Must admit I am very disappointed of the app and service. Totally useless. The updates never go smoothly, it's deleting all my theme customizations (which I payed a lot for) and I can't use the updated theme. Most important files need to be configured manually, and I have to hire a developer to make the changes, for extra payment ($300 to be exact). It is ridiculous as a pay you each month for this app.

Hi camieandme team!

The Theme Updater does identify customizations that it cannot carry over from your 2021 theme version so you can manually carry them over to your updated 2025 theme version.

Customizing the theme to be right-to-left and adding third party app code and customizations does introduce a lot of additional complexity. However, our support team has been helping you with each of your questions as they come up and please let us know if there is any additional help you may need by replying to your open ticket so we can do our best to help out.

The only thing it did for me is install an updated version of my current theme, which I've already done from the Shopify theme store. Everything else I have to do manually. Plus, there is no option to cancel your plan so I have to contact customer support just to cancel, which I find unnecessary.

Edit: I did contact support and they were very friendly and willing to help. therefore, I am willing to upgrade the rating.

Hi Infinite1 Brand team!

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the app - I can see that you responded with "Thanks for your speedy response. The steps you provided are very helpful" in the ticket we have open with you, but it sounds like you might need a bit more help.

We were able to help with the cancelation of your subscription on the same day that you started it, but did not know that you were needing assistance with updating the theme itself, as this was not mentioned in your ticket.

We would appreciate the chance to support you where we can, and hope that you will reply to our follow up in the open ticket.

All the best,

Heartfelt Thanks for Outstanding Support

I am incredibly grateful to the Pixel Union team, especially Gabriel, for their exceptional support and understanding. Navigating an incredibly stressful issue, Gabriel's compassionate and prompt assistance turned a challenging situation into a positive experience.

The dedication shown in resolving our issue,and going above and beyond to help us, demonstrates Pixel Union's commitment to supporting small businesses like ours. Their Turbo theme is not just powerful and feature-rich, but backed by a team that genuinely cares about its users.

Thanks to the Theme Updater App, we can easily access updated versions of the Turbo theme, which adds tremendous value. I highly recommend this app to anyone using Pixel Union themes.

Thank you again for your outstanding support. Your help has made a world of difference to our small business and the community we support.

Works great although not all customizations will be transferred although its a lot better than previously. Love the new sections which have been added. Support is also great!

Hi Bonsai Tree (Pty) Ltd. team!

Thank you very much for your review! Themes that do have additional third party customizations can still view the code that will need to be transferred over, which is a huge bonus, and saves time when updating from one theme version to another.

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the new theme sections - lots more to come as our team keeps adding to new ones!

All the best,
