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!

This app works well and has been able to copy most of our customizations to the new theme after an update. However, we've found that not all customizations are able to be copied, so we still have to have a developer help with theme updates, in order to keep all our customizations.

We have an old Parallax theme which has limited functionality, so we got the app to add the FAQs to our product pages.

I was able to add it to the product pages and it works if you want to add generic FAQs to the pages. However, to get product specific FAQs on each product page you need to add individual metafields for the sub-titles, then each question & each answer. We have close to 100 products so that means hundreds of metafields.

Would great to see this feature added.
