The app stopped working completely after 6 years of having it on my store. I have very unhappy customers as a result.

In the Shopify Digital Downloads app, when viewing an individual digital product, it would be extremely helpful to be able to click "Previous" and "Next". This functionality is already built into the main Products section of the UI. I cannot express how much it would help me to have this implemented in a similar location of the Digital Downloads app. It would cut the time and effort required for me to upload new digital files by 75% or more. I have hundreds of digital products that I have to update each time there is a revision, and this is an extremely laborious process with the current app dashboard.

When we release an update, only a small proportion of customers are receiving an email notification and the updated files aren’t being displayed within their account.
