Fantasia Moda Feb 15, 2023

I have worked with more than 15 different themes on Shopify Themes, but this is the one where I have encountered the most bugs and problems. There's a big problem on the product page, where if you select multiple variants, the browser's back button takes into account these variant clicks, and doesn't go back right away. Imagine what kind of experience the user might have if they can't get back.

Reply from Eight Themes Feb 28, 2023

Hey there, we’re so sorry to hear about your experience with Influence. We’ve been supporting you on this and glad to hear it’s now resolved. We’ve passed this to our developers to review the handling of the back button. Thank you for bringing this to our attention as we’re always keen to hear suggestions from our merchants.

GREER Chicago Feb 10, 2023

In 15 years on the Shopify platform using 6 different themes I've never encountered such shockingly poor support. I submitted a request a week ago concerning some serious bugs in the theme and after some minimal back and forth, nothing has been addressed. Extremely disappointed I spent $350 for this theme.

Reply from Eight Themes Feb 13, 2023
