Very helpful in updating our Turbo Theme, which has proven to have worked very well for our business for the last 10+ years.

I was able to easily update my customized Out-of-the-Sandbox theme, which had made me nervous after spending so much money to customize the theme. There was some odd coding left behind on the screen after the AI update, but I reached out to the team, who was able to quickly remove the random code for me. I'm quite pleased with the app and the service.

I have a lot of custom items on my website that make theme updates tricky. I used to always have to put back in all the custom items which was very difficult and time consuming. This app makes updating themes a piece of cake. Each update we have done using this has worked smoothly.
