What really sets it apart is the exceptional support.

Great app, very user friendly and simple to use. The team's support service for personalization of the app is brilliant. We recently updated our store's theme and had to reach out to the app's support team to adjust some settings. Helen and her support staff were very prompt and responsive in making updates to our store to ensure our website continued running smoothly for our customers

We recently attempted to migrate from USF's "AI Search Filter" to Globo's Search & Filter app, hoping for a seamless integration. Unfortunately, we encountered several significant issues that severely hindered the app's functionality and delayed our launch timeline. Key Issues: Grouping Functionality Failures: The grouping feature did not work as expected. Despite configuring it to display only one value, all options were displayed instead. This bug was discovered early in the process and set the tone for further issues, contributing to significant delays. Collection Titles Not Displayed: Collection titles, which were correctly set in customization, did not appear in the UI’s search tree. This issue persisted even after the support team claimed it was resolved, suggesting a lack of adequate testing. Missing Entire Search Tree: At one point, the entire collection tree disappeared from the search page, rendering the filter non-functional. Despite repeated follow-ups, it took days to receive any priority from the support team, and even then, the issue remained unresolved despite claims to the contrary. Miscommunication and Delayed Resolution: Communication with Globo’s support was frustrating. We were repeatedly assured that issues had been resolved, only to find that many problems persisted. For example, only 3 out of 15 categories were visible after the team claimed the problem was fixed, reflecting a recurring pattern of miscommunication and false assurances. Inconsistent Performance: The app’s performance was erratic, with filters that worked one day disappearing the next. This inconsistency severely disrupted our workflow. One particular issue was with filters based on variant metafields, which vanished over the weekend after previously functioning without problems. Localization Challenges: The app does not support the translation of custom labels for merged values, which made it difficult to localize filters. The suggested workaround of using third-party translation apps like Langify is not a satisfactory solution for an app marketed as a full-featured filtering system. Final Nail in the Coffin: As other users have pointed out, the app’s performance is undeniably subpar. While our legacy filter app added just 180 KB to our theme payload, Globo's Search & Filter app bloated the payload by an additional 1.6 MB. This excessive increase in payload size significantly slowed down our site's performance, and ultimately, this was the final nail in the coffin for us. Conclusion: Despite its promising features, the Globo Search & Filter app suffers from critical performance issues, unreliable support, and poor optimization. The combination of persistent bugs, slow site performance, and ineffective communication from the support team makes this app difficult to recommend. Unfortunately, it has fallen far short of our expectations, and we will be reverting to our previous solution.

The app is great, but it's greatest asset is by far its technical support and customer service. We have been constantly in contact in the last weeks and Helen has always been very fast and professional.

We love this app! Super functional and looks great. It had exactly what we needed - for the search to go beyond the title / tags, to our metafields. A big shout out to Helen as we had a few queries which were handled with friendliness and promptness. Thank you! Hope you try it out.

I really like this app. It does what it says and does it well. I was frustrated at first that the app didn't initially work with my set international prices in Shopify Markets so I contacted the dev team. They did manage to fix the issue and get the app working with my set Shopify Markets pricing. Helen did a great job there and I've had a lot of bad experiences with contacting other App support teams in the past. So that was refreshing. I recommend this app for adding more variants to your collection pages in a visually appealing way.
