I uninstalled, because I don't have enough customers to justify paying this price a month. You might want to do a tier for this pricing on shopify stores that are not bring the customers in right away.

Total disaster. I even purchased the "Theme Updater & Backups" app to update to the latest version (v9.5.1), but the core issues remain. The most game-breaking bug is the inventory logic. When a customer tries to add more items than what's in stock, the entire site simply FREEZES instead of showing a proper message or limiting the quantity. This is a basic e-commerce function that even a free theme handles easily. I tested this on a fresh, unedited template, and it still fails. This proves it's not a customization error; it's a fundamental flaw in the theme's core code. My homepage and collection pages are a mess, and I am losing sales because of these technical glitches. Do not waste your money on this theme if you need a professional, functional store.

Amazing company! They gave product support on Christmas Eve! I am blown away by how professional and responsive they are. I have been using their Turbo theme for many years and have just added this updater app but it is great just like their themes. Highly recommended!
