We’re using the Combine theme. We’ve made a lot of code improvements. We needed to update our theme to version 4.0.0 without losing any code blocks. We completed the update using Theme Updater. There were just a few minor issues left to sort out. Myles from the support team helped us with this very quickly. We were very pleased with both the application and the support team.

Usually, we've had no issues in updating the Turbo theme. But this version from 9.6 to 10 -- went haywire. AI allegedly handled all but one of the customizations in upgrading the theme, but our opening slide show was completely screwed up. For now, we've left v9.6 in place. It's frustrating having had / worked with this theme for years without needing to hire an expert -- apparently, now we will have to? Disappointing.

GREAT Support, the app didn't install an older clean version of a theme for me (to compare customizations), but support did install one for me.

Theme Updater has made updating on Shopify so much easier. Please remember to be very careful adding 3rd party apps to your store so the update can go smoothly and you spend your time working on marketing. Be sure to review Out of the Sandbox premium theme sections so your system uses known compatible apps.

Very helpful, most times the AI can transfer any customization. Last time it didn't work, but some weeks later another try got everything transferred to the new theme.
