This does exactly what it says it does, and is perfect for my needs with setting up larger collections on my site.

When I submitted a bug, the developer quickly fixed it. This is a good, sustainable APP.
Thank you for your review and your kindly reporting the bug. I make 6-10 updates of the app each month - to keep pace with Shopify API changes and storeowner feature requests - and test extensively ahead of each release. Very occasionally I do make a mistake, where I discover a use-case that isn't covered by my test suite, but I'm very grateful for the bug report and always prioritise getting a fix deployed within a matter of hours. As a result of your email I've now also added a new feature. The bug you reported related to the display of sub-category icons only on the first page of a paginated collection page. I now do this calculation server-side meaning that on non-first pages (e.g. 2nd/3rd/4th etc.), the icons are removed before being rendered on the server. This is a better user experience for your store's customers because the page loads quicker and with less cumulative layout shift (CSL), which is a good for SEO. Thanks again for your emails and best of luck with your store.

Technical support is responsive, thoughtful and professional. Unusual to find app developers who are so conscientious and really do seem to put their clients' needs above their own. The app works well - does exactly what it claims - and the support is second to none. Strongly recommend this developer and app.
Thank you so much for your reviews from your two stores. I really appreciate the feedback and I'll keep doing my best.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. But more than this; the support (from Alex, the developer) has been timely, professional, considerate and quite the opposite of self-serving. It is sadly too rare to find app developers who are so conscientious and truly put their clients' needs over their own. The app works well and the support is second to none. Well done - and thank you to Zoom Buzz. The Shopify app store needs more dev like you guys.

Excellent follow up support from Alex. His support videos are also first class and very succinct. Categories Uncomplicated provides excellent structure to a store, especially those with large numbers of categories. Essential for ease of navigation for the customer and SEO.
Thank you for your review. I'll definitely keep making the videos and pushing the app forward.

Great app. Alex is fast with his responses, and takes the time to visit your site and see how everything is working. We ended up solving the problem I was having together using some unique workarounds. Alex did all of this while I was still on the trial period and not even paying yet. I look forward to continuing to use this app, and hopefully other apps that Alex and this developer come up with in the future.

We have used Categories Uncomplicated for many years, since the beginning of our online store, without problems. Everything works perfectly. Recently, we had an issue with the front end online, and Shopify tech support identified the problem as being Categories Uncomplicated. Except it wasn't. Alex, when contacted, jumped right in to help and identified the actual problem. Even though he didn't need to since the issue had nothing to do with him or the app, he still took the time to look at our store and give me the instructions needed to solve the issue. At the risk of sounding like Bill and Ted, it was most excellent service. I highly recommend this app and company.

Alex was very quick to respond to support requests and was very helpful. He was able to pinpoint the issue and help us fix it quickly. Thank you very much Alex.

Alex is amazing! He not only handled my initial frustration (due to my own lack of understanding, not his fault) well, but he went above an beyond in helping to get me set up correctly with the app. We recently upgraded our Dawn theme, and this app is a perfect addition to our new set up. The most amazing thing of all though, is that when I asked if Alex could create and adjustment that allowed the option of the category icons to disappear once someone scrolls to page 2+ of the products on the page, he responded and did it! It took only a week or two and that additional feature completed our overall layout, and made us a #1 fan of Alex and this app! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

This app fulfilled our needs of having multiple tiered categories and sub-categories in our Shopify store. Alex is also responsive to our tickets and is helpful. Fully satisfied with the app!

Really simple app and was totally a lifesaver. We had some questions and Alex was really understanding and an amazing help

Amazing app! Migrating from Magento with a large store with over 1000 collections, we have been scratching our heads for weeks trying to work out how to organise our categories and collections for effective SEO. At this point we've only used the breadcrumbs feature of this app, however I already can wholeheartedly recommend it. If you're serious about optimising your website for search engines this app really solves the issue of inadequate breadcrumbs on the Shopify platform. Alex has been kind enough to guide us in some small tweaks and his support is quick and responsive.

Alex the developer was very quick to respond to support requests and was very helpful with how his app is setup for Online 2.0 themes, this is the best app on shopify for large collections. I would give 6 stars if i could. Get this app enough said!

I needed to present my categories in a very specific way, which was not possible with the theme that I am using. Between what I was expecting from this app and what I could do was an amazing and pleasant surprise. The categories can be placed in different ways, also the possibility of having breadcrumbs that really work without creating new scripts is an amazing feature. For the support I couldn't be happier, Alex is very clear and precise when helping, the first automatic message, in a professional way, explains his availability for answering in person and he offers reliable solutions when answering our questions. The major point is the integration of this app with 2.0 themes. I love this app, it surpasses every expectation, very professional support and hope Alex will keep his amazing work.

We've been looking for a solution to manage categories and subcategories for a long time and this app has surpassed our expectations. On top of that the SEO metadata is an invaluable bonus. The support provided has been superb and we're beyond pleased with the results. Many thanks for providing this solution and for the first-rate customer care. Highly recommended!

The app works perfectly! Form an SEO perspective, using this within a filter system is awesome since you can link to collection pages vs filtered pages. Alex and the support team is really helpful, in fact, they were pivotal in helping to get this up and running to our specifications. Well worth it!

Brilliant app - solves a problem that Shopify should sort out, especially the breadcrumbs. Not the easiest to install unless you know the Shopify code, but the support is superb. Highly recommend. See it in action here: https://halcyonblue.com/
