Wow, just WOW! Super easy to use, just what I need! Installation was smooth and right away you can start adding your own forum. It took me a bit to figure out I needed to tag myself as admin but the app does exactly what I want and is not complicated at all. I love how users don't need to create another account for the forum and it uses your domain so it doesn't show the member a redirect to another site. Good job guys!

Great for my membership site! To put it over the top you could add a quick tutorial for all the functions.

This app was very easy to install which is awesome. I didn't think it would be that easy to add a forum to my website www.ionwearable.com. To login, customers are redirected away from the forum which could be improved (e.g. login without redirects). However, Xenforum got me off the ground in hours. If there were tips and tricks to improve engagement (e.g. get my customers posting to the forum) that would be helpful!

Thank you for the fix, I am still using it, so I update my review. I'd like to say the app would get better and better if developer keep updating and testing it and listen to the users' experience.

Thank you for still using my app. I've just released a new feature "private message user-to-user", please feedback to me if you've got any trouble with this forum app.

This forum app is really great. I use it for customer support, faq, share information and create a community of customers and followers. The forum is fast and easy to use. Support is fast if you need some customizat6ion like i did The only thing that prevents me from giving a 5 star review is the way to assign user roles and restrictions. It is a bit complicated. I really recommend this app if you want to grow your shop.

Former product manager of web development here. This app is good. There is a bit of a learning curve to understand the entire setup. Overall, I'm satisfied. The support team so far is really good and responsive.
We were answering individual email questions from customers which took up a bunch of our time. Now our customers ask us questions publicly, we answer the questions publicly, and future customers can easily find answers to their questions without having to contact us directly. If you get a lot of direct email inquiries from customers, I highly recommend this app. The best forum on the Shopify App store.

I've been trying to reach out the support team, haven't heard back from them in days.
Can't make the email notifications to work, been trying with different SMTP settings and nothing, looks like the app is using old gmail security methods.

I installed the app, loved the look, loved the functionality, it was very user friendly, and all went together well. The overall look is pleasing. Not sure what sort of controls their will be for Spam control, but will report back on that.

Update: The app has some performance issues: load time, some basic features had issues and they also stopped replying to our requests which made it impossible for us to use it. We tested this app for more than one week.

Original review: We just started using the app and like it so far. The support team has been great at answering our questions. We'll update our review once we finish our community feature.

This customer has been using the app for about 3 weeks (from April 19). While the free trial period is only 7 days. They asked to extend the free trial and require more customization while not upgrading to the paid plan. We need to devote our best resources to assist our paid customers, because they deserve it. Free Trial customers (7 days) are also well supported. After the free trial period, you can find help from our community forum, it's free and friendly.
