I just began using the app so I am not yet familiar with all of the functions/features, but the support staff, Chris, was very helpful in getting the app up and running.

20 most recentGreat app. Super easy to use, reliable and great support. Would highly recommend, particularly great for stores with a large number of products.
Best filter app out there and we tried most of them. Their customer support was also some of the best we have seen on Shopify. Would definitely recommend.
Was good until I realised that it started creating and modifying my apps without me actually inputting any instructions for it to do so. Now I have to manually do everything back
Functionality is ok but WOW good luck getting ANYTHING done with this app, it is insanely SLOW. Hours just to do a single action!!!
If you own a large shopify store, then you NEED this app. I'm surprised why shopify doesn't have this by default. Definitely worth the extra $10 per month.
These apps are excellent, and the customer support is excellent too. Highly recommended!
Great for automatically generating collections does a lot of very awesome organizing.
We've had this application installed since January 8th of 2015. It is truly fantastic. We were really looking forward to seeing how our customers enjoy the superior shopping experience we can offer them with the Filter Menu application installed, because we simply couldn't imagine this change being anything but a sales-increaser. Well, I can now say that this app's performance on our site not only looks great, but I can also flat-out say our store is making more money because of it. Caveat: We were not able to install or configure the application on our own. We paid for the full installation ($150) versus doing it ourselves (free) or having a basic install ($50) which I think is sufficient for most stores that don't use tags as extensively as we do for products. Through the process, I'd say three of our team had about 45 hours combined in working to come up with the strategy to most effectively use the Filter Menu and other features of PowerToolsSuite, avoid mistakes that could cause our collections to become messy, and to communicate our needs and desires via emails to the app developer. Yes, a few issues came up during the install process, and 90+% of them were dealt with very promptly and to the best of our developer Brad's ability without any request for more money. We expect to be customers of this app for a long time to come. Update February 2017: still happy customers, thanks to Brad and FilterMenu! Yes, there are other pieces to the PowerTools suite of apps but we don't really know how to use them or what they do. However, Filter Menu we do use and it is an integral part of our product merchandising strategy. Love it!
This is a must if you have lots of products. Thanks to the Filter Menu (which is part of the Power Tool Suite), we were able to create filters that make sense to our customers to help them find the products they are looking for. The filter menu has transformed our store and made it look much more professional. The Suite also includes other apps that complement the Filter Menu. Highly recommended!

This app saves me so much time working on tags and product collections, it's one of my must have apps!
We've been very impressed with this app, you get A LOT of functionality all rolled into one subscription. Keep up the good work! https://www.urbanindustry.co.uk/
I'm not normally one to write reviews...anyone involved in launching or managing an e-commerce platform appreciates the limited time available. In this case, it feels warranted. When we set out to re-brand our our company and e-commerce channels we had to weigh the route of ASP.Net, Magento, or something which would be more plug and play such as Shopify. During this time of planning we spent countless hours researching the mechanism and possible solutions which would provide virtually limitless filter options and organization for over 7,000 products. In our opinion, if we couldn't nail this functionality it would be a deal breaker to move forward with Shopify. Luckily we found Brad and Power Tools. This application does exactly as advertised and is quite powerful. It will allow you to provide filtering and collection updates which has pretty much become the norm of customer expectation when shopping online. It does much more, but this alone is worth the price of admission. The application really gives you the flexibility to filter into collections, color, size, lifestyle, and any other attribute you can come up with to guide your customer through the store. More importantly, and my reason for writing this review, is the professional level of support that Brad and his team provide. I have never waited more than 24 hours to get a response, and normally that response already includes the fix we were in search of to move forward. Time is our most precious asset and I'm happy to confirm that Brad doesn't waste it...or your money. That said, the software is does have a learning curve if you want to create deep levels of filtering as we do. My recommendation would be to take a look at the app and allocate a few hours of Brad's time to help you implement this powerful tool exactly to the specification that best serve your customer. This will save you time and money, while allowing you to get immediate benefits. If you have over 100 products, this app is a must have for your store. We track GA and see how many of our customer engage the filter options. Furthermore, we have seen a 300% increase in our business since the launch of our new website in December 2016, Our company has been online since 2004, so we didn't take the decision to go with Shopify lightly. Rather, it was because of Brad and his operation that we did go this route. Thank you Brad for being a tremendous help along the way and our team appreciates the integrity and value provided. To sum it up...Go for it- Can't Lose. Scott Gidlow- President & CEO
Awesome app. Makes the impossible possible. Easy as to use too. Brad and Chris have always given me the best support when needed, I can't speak highly enough of them! Best team out there. https://www.empireskate.co.nz/
Really useful app and great support when we needed it. An ideal app to make filtering easy for customers on our website. Some themes have limited filtering functionality, this plugs the gap.
One of the most important apps for our Shopify store. (primewines.com)
This is a really great suite with a collection of useful tools. The filter menu, trending products, hiding sold outs and pricing policies are all the apps I currently use. Brad is very helpful and the video tutorials definitely help you figure things out!
Always works great and it a tool I use on every site I build.
I recently published an updated theme in error prior to having everything ready and it knocked out everything on a Friday night. I contacted support and they had everything back in working order in now time on my site www.dancewearcorner,com. I honestly thought it was going to be a long painful weekend but they were amazing! Thank you for your quick response in my time of need!
If you have many collections and different types of products as my curated store does you need a better filtering system than Shopify offers, for a better and easier customer experience. Power Tools is a good system that adds sidebar menus to stores. It's worth paying for extra support to get the app to do what it needs to as it is quite complicated. The App Devs are patient and work with you to get to the point of publishing. I don't yet know if it will boost sales in my store but of course I am hoping so.
