Not able to auto-collapse filters. Not able to set different filter sets for different collections. Not able to use sliders for number values other than price.

Not suitable for large shops. 200 filter values are possible, but only 100 are displayed. I don't understand why. Conclusion: a shop with more than 100 brands, for example, will not be able to use the filter effectively. Addendum: Maybe the product is called A8000, a search for 8000 will not find this product. Such a search is completely useless.

Lot's of errors in the search. Not organized if you have a lot of products. Messy looking. You have to scroll & scroll to view the searches. Does not work with keywords.

Ich kann keine maximalen Werte für die Filter hinzufügen. Ich erstelle einen großen Webshop und habe 75 Werte für die Filter, aber ich kann nur 25 hinzufügen.

The app has a bug that doesn't work with recommended products on product pages.

How can Shopify have a native search app that doesn't allow customers to search for items via their SKU?? All of our products have specific SKU names that are intrinsic for liaising with customers. I now have 3 Shopify stores that are causing so much frustration - a massive problem that could be solved with one simple fix. Shopify, surely its time to fix this?!

The Availability filter does not work. For whatever reason, it displays the total product count instead of the inventory count AND it's not even recognizing variants, so it's completely useless. Outside of this app, the inventory counter is displaying correctly on the product page so obviously the problem is with this app. This availability filter code is no good. Hand coded filters used to work on Shopify but because of this newfangled junk, they don't anymore. This app has to be enabled for ANY filter to display - so you can get hand coded filters to show up, but they will only display error msgs, because Shopify 2.0 only accepts filter content from apps. I'm not a fan of chunking out useful features into a bunch of add-ons. UPDATE: found a source of incompatibility between this app and Shopify 2.0 free themes V 15.0. In facets.liquid, ALL filters print value.count. Value count = the number of product LISTINGS. This is only relevant to count by category, like qty of products that are t-shirts, qty of products that are hats, etc. This is entirely useless for inventory. I've managed to decouple the Availability filter from this irrelevant nonsense by using {%- if value.label contains "stock" -%}. However I've tried literally THOUSANDS of call combinations, logic, and assigns within this if clause and cannot get it to print the actual in stock inventory. I've been able to get it to print a fixed qty, or a (0), or a total product listings count, or even the total value of products in the cart. Anything but the inventory qty seems to work here. Please reply with the exact code needed for this to function properly. Thanks!!!! UPDATE #2: Thank you for responding but, that's honestly not an adequate solution whatsoever. As you pointed out, IT WILL NOT SUM, which means that will return a string of values that will read for example: "(4)(45)(9)(3)(1)(1)(3)(6)(2)(1)....etc." It could break the screen border with this nonsense. And it looks janky, which will bounce customers off the site instantly. AND your suggestion to do this as another layer of app bloat on the app sandwich is perfectly absurd. Let me know when Shopify is ready to give serious support and tell me how to CODE a reasonable solution into facets.liquid and it's associated .js and .css theme files. It's an embarrassing oversight on the part of Shopify that there is no availability filter that shows in stock goods vs out of stock goods (regardless if the out of stock can still be custom ordered). Site visitors should be able to easily filter products on this basis because it affects how quickly the product will be shipped. Is this really a condition Shopify wants it's sites to perform poorly on? Isn't that kind of contrary to the whole mission of good ui > good seo > good revenue? You have a feature that is not working as advertised. Please fix it or tell me how I can fix it IN THE THEME FILES WITH CODE. Don't come at me with any more apps, alternatives, or substitutes. I assure you I am either already employing them or have tested them and found them inadequate. UPDATE: Wait wait wait wait. So now I'm noticing that this app doesn't even use canonical URLS in the recommended products gallery! Are ya'll joking with this entire thing or what?
The availability filter shows a count of products that have variants available for purchase. As you correctly mention, this is not the inventory count you see in the admin. I assume you are looking for an inventory-based filter because you have your variants set to "continue selling when out of stock", which makes them all purchasable, even with zero inventory. If you're comfortable with coding, a possible solution is to create a custom variant metafield and use an app like Shopify Flow to update it whenever the variant inventory changes. i.e. Create a "In-stock" variant metafield of type boolean (true/false) for each variant, and update it whenever inventory is above 0. The storefront filter won't give you a total inventory count, but will allow shoppers to filter out variants without inventory.

DESTROYED my meta-fields for my products. Want to add a weight for calculating shipping? DON'T USE THIS APP. It left me with four USELESS meta-fields instead of my product weight and size. UNBELIEVABLE.

I dont understand why it does recommend unrelated products? why does it recommend a women product to an ashtray? you cant edit that.. also complementary products require certain themes. Terrible

The install messed up my 'select options' on every page. My ring sizes, gemstone type and metal type selection has been replaced by 'Default Title' dropdown menu. Cannot seem to recover these even after uninstalling the app. Very disappointed and panicked right now due to my website coming to a halt.
The app does not modify theme files or change product variant options, so it would not have been able to change your product option selectors. The only product information it edits are recommended products which you can manually set. With that said, we're sorry to hear about this issue. "Default title" is what Shopify titles variants when there are no product options, so it sounds like some other application or workflow removed your product options/variants. This also could have also been the result of a product CSV upload overwriting your exisiting products. Depending on your product catalog size, uploading a revised CSV may be a solution https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/import-export/using-csv.

so far this does not work - trying to do a simple filter for a template for birthstone by month based on tags - it pulls in all these random tags and the app does not show ability to save if you update the filter? glitchy. will update this review if resolved.
Because you do not want to filter by all the tags in your store, we recommend setting up a custom filter with metafields. You can read more about this in the Help center here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/filters#custom-filters This will allow you to make specific filters for birthstones and control what values are shown to online shoppers.

The AI generated recommendations that are suppose to be like products e.g. rings for ring product or activewear for activewear product is not working properly. What is taking so long to fix it! How about you also include a button to regenerate the selection as well, but the button should not regenerate the entire catalog/store of products but product by product.

No support as such, only bla-bla-bla, generic "kind" replies and RTFM in the best case scenario. No filtering by tags is implemented in the right way - its just not working, guys, nope. Why on EARTH do you have this option for!??? Just unpublish the thing! Take the app away from the Marketplace! I regret I wasted so much of my lifetime trying to troubleshoot&fix this application!
