So far I am pretty happy with it. I wish there was more flexibility for headers in each individual page, but so far that is my only "complaint".

Diese App funktioniert wirklich sehr gut. Das Design ist auch entsprechend modern eingerichtet und man kann sich gut zurecht finden. Der Support ist wirklich sehr hilfreich.

Great app, upgraded to Enterprise for the quick and responsive support. Great developer and crucial part of our website.

I have been using this APP for more than 4 years, and the customer service support is usually relatively fast, but recently I have encountered several problems that have not been resolved. I can't receive the email verification email; because the forum started to receive a lot of spam posts, I had to turn on the 'Prevent unverified users' function, but this function only works for new users. For old registered users, they need to re- Send an email verification email to activate the user. But when I tested "Send verification email", I couldn't receive the verification email at all, and I still couldn't get a solution after calling customer service. This actually brings a new problem: for old users of the forum, once I enable the 'Prevent unverified users' function, all old users need to resend the email verification email to activate, but it is not included in the user's profile at all. For the "Resend Email Verification" entry, only administrators can perform this action. The best approach is to allow users to "Resend Email Verification" themselves. Once I address these few issues, I will revise this review to 5 stars. === I received a response from the support team and the "Verify email" feature was added to the profile, 5 stars!

This forum development is completely abandoned as is the shopical app from the same developer. Support doesn't exist and these apps are no longer developped. The app would be a winner but right now it is just a basic bulletin board. It does it's job at a basic level but don't expect too much. I would have given 5 stars if support and development existed

We absolutely love this app and cannot fault the first class customer service from Chris! I would highly highly recommend this app to anyone looking to build a community chat space right on your website and free from the "social platform" black holes. Try it and you will love it!

Support is too slow. One has to keep figuring out how to use the app. My customers are not able to use the app seamlessly.

Looks good, easy to set up. I like that customers can use the same login for the forum as for the shopify website - nicely integrated. A little slow, but now sure if that is just my connection or something else. I probably should speed test it.

I've been trying to reach out the support team, haven't heard back from them in days. Can't make the email notifications to work, been trying with different SMTP settings and nothing, looks like the app is using old gmail security methods.

I was impressed with the app, talked with the dev about importing my old forum, signed up, and he was able to import all of our old WP Asgaros user forum posts, so it made for a pretty smooth transition. The forum is feature rich, presents well and has quite a few customization options. Service has improved and we are finding the app is really helping reduce our business tech support load, A shout out to Chris for his recent help and patience :)

I installed the app, loved the look, loved the functionality, it was very user friendly, and all went together well. The overall look is pleasing. Not sure what sort of controls their will be for Spam control, but will report back on that.

I am not very savvy when it comes to website work. Yet got this forum set up with ease. The backend as well as the frontend is very user friendly. The customer support was brilliant. Received a replies to my questions within a an hour.

Xenforum is a top class product with a top class support. They have helped us all the way in setting up the forum at Olympiadtester and also customizing it to our needs. We are very happy with our decision to chose Xenforum and have no hesitation in strongly recommending this forum app.

This app was very easy to install which is awesome. I didn't think it would be that easy to add a forum to my website www.ionwearable.com. To login, customers are redirected away from the forum which could be improved (e.g. login without redirects). However, Xenforum got me off the ground in hours. If there were tips and tricks to improve engagement (e.g. get my customers posting to the forum) that would be helpful!

Former product manager of web development here. This app is good. There is a bit of a learning curve to understand the entire setup. Overall, I'm satisfied. The support team so far is really good and responsive. We were answering individual email questions from customers which took up a bunch of our time. Now our customers ask us questions publicly, we answer the questions publicly, and future customers can easily find answers to their questions without having to contact us directly. If you get a lot of direct email inquiries from customers, I highly recommend this app. The best forum on the Shopify App store.

Wow, just WOW! Super easy to use, just what I need! Installation was smooth and right away you can start adding your own forum. It took me a bit to figure out I needed to tag myself as admin but the app does exactly what I want and is not complicated at all. I love how users don't need to create another account for the forum and it uses your domain so it doesn't show the member a redirect to another site. Good job guys!

Great for my membership site! To put it over the top you could add a quick tutorial for all the functions.

Update: The app has some performance issues: load time, some basic features had issues and they also stopped replying to our requests which made it impossible for us to use it. We tested this app for more than one week. Original review: We just started using the app and like it so far. The support team has been great at answering our questions. We'll update our review once we finish our community feature.
