Simply add categories to your store's collections

Categories Uncomplicated allows you to build a hierarchical set of categories and visualise them with icons and breadcrumbs. Using this app you can organise your collections into a structure that at a glance helps your customers understand what kinds of products you sell, how those products are organised and how they can narrow their search down to more specific sub-categories. Ultimately they get to find the product or group of products they're shopping for more easily.

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.

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.

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.

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.
