The new version 9.0.0 is terrible with the mobile version of the shop. I have the 7.0.1 in another website and works great with mobile but this new version is terrible! I hope you can fix this quick. Joselo.

I wish I could have the option to turn on number of pages... or use the "Load More" Button for customers to continue exploring products in the collection page. Hope this gets added in the next update because Dawn is a really great theme! :)

Hi there, when the number of products in a collection exceeds the 'Products per page' setting, the page numbers will appear automatically at the bottom of the page. 'Load more' buttons are a negative customer experience, as it can be difficult to get back to the 'same spot' later. Page numbers make it easier for customers to find the products they need, as does collection filtering

Took a long time to figure out because you need to make your own templates for each page. Follow this so you dont loose out on days of struggle like myself: https://bit.ly/33s2n9B

Hi, thanks for reviewing Dawn! That's right - in all our current themes, you have the option to share page layouts (single template) or have separate layouts (multiple templates). To add variable information within sections and blocks across templates, you can also use Metafields (https://bit.ly/3nR3Bml) as a dynamic source.

I’ve been using this theme for 2months now and love it. Yes there is some personalization to be done for my needs but i think this is normal and i was able to research all of the required coding easily. Also really happy and impressed with shopify’s customer support, I strongly recommend this theme!

Reply from Shopify Apr 25, 2023

Hello, thanks for the review! We are glad that you are finding Dawn useful for your business needs as well as our support. I'd recommend checking out our supported customization requests (https://bit.ly/3F5vga5) that you can utilize your Design Time for, if you are needing some more personalization.
