The newest 8 of 37. Open one to read it in full, with the developer's reply where there is one.
Excellent app. We have over 3,000 product collections for over 2million products. This app helped us organise this and get breadcrumbs on our product pages with ease. We're already seeing SEO benefits. Also fantastic speedy support from the developer. Highly recommended
Technical support is responsive, thoughtful and professional. Unusual to find app developers who are so conscientious and really do seem to put their clients' needs above their own. The app works well - does exactly what it claims - and the support is second to none. Strongly recommend this developer and app.
Excellent follow up support from Alex. His support videos are also first class and very succinct. Categories Uncomplicated provides excellent structure to a store, especially those with large numbers of categories. Essential for ease of navigation for the customer and SEO.
Great app. Alex is fast with his responses, and takes the time to visit your site and see how everything is working. We ended up solving the problem I was having together using some unique workarounds. Alex did all of this while I was still on the trial period and not even paying yet. I look forward to continuing to use this app, and hopefully other apps that Alex and this developer come up with in the future.
We have used Categories Uncomplicated for many years, since the beginning of our online store, without problems. Everything works perfectly. Recently, we had an issue with the front end online, and Shopify tech support identified the problem as being Categories Uncomplicated. Except it wasn't. Alex, when contacted, jumped right in to help and identified the actual problem. Even though he didn't need to since the issue had nothing to do with him or the app, he still took the time to look at our store and give me the instructions needed to solve the issue. At the risk of sounding like Bill and Ted, it was most excellent service. I highly recommend this app and company.
Provide a plan option that is free and some instructions on uninstalling the app to be sure it doesn’t mess up your site. I never really used this app. Just tested a few things and decided it dint work for me.
The app does exactly what it's meant to do, and we got a quick response to our support request, with an accurate diagnosis of our problem (it was an odd default setting in our theme) and quick fix.
This does exactly what it says it does, and is perfect for my needs with setting up larger collections on my site.
