Feedback submitted

Merchants find this app essential for updating Shopify themes while preserving customizations. Its automatic backup feature offers peace of mind, and it highlights changes that won't transfer during updates. The app is user-friendly, allowing updates with a few clicks and creating draft copies to keep live sites unaffected. Customer support is praised for being responsive and professional. Many rely on it for maintaining theme compatibility, especially with Out of the Sandbox themes.

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.

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.
