Theme Updater has made updating on Shopify so much easier. Please remember to be very careful adding 3rd party apps to your store so the update can go smoothly and you spend your time working on marketing. Be sure to review Out of the Sandbox premium theme sections so your system uses known compatible apps.
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.
GREAT Support, the app didn't install an older clean version of a theme for me (to compare customizations), but support did install one for me.
Easy to use and peace of mind in knowing I can easily see when it's time to update my theme, Impulse.
Very helpful, most times the AI can transfer any customization. Last time it didn't work, but some weeks later another try got everything transferred to the new theme.
Great app and great customer service! Makes updating my theme easy and the theme sections you can add to your website are a major plus!
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 been supported by Euwi who has been incredibly helpful. I used the app which was good but it did not transfer all of my custom coding! However, I reached out to customer support and received great support from Euwi! Having a human available to actually address your technical issues is always preferable and very much appreciate the help he provided
