This app is good if your filter results will be relatively small. In my opinion the app has two major shortcomings, and both are only relevant if number of filter results for your store can be high. 1) Shopify limits the number of filter results to 100, which may be fine for most stores but is a major problem for mine. I have product metafields that are used to filter and these fields can have several hundred different entries but shopify will only display 100. Shopify suggests workarounds but it seems hokey to have Product Names A to F, Product Names, G to M, and so on. Just make the number 100 by default, but have the option to change it in the settings if needed. 2)Not having an option for a scroll bar in the filter results. Again, if you have a lot of options that will show up on your filter Shopify will display a certain number followed by a "show more" link. If the number of results is high, such as 90, your customers are in for a lot of scrolling. I have tried many other platforms and most of them fall short in regard to product filtering with the exception of Ecwid. Their built in filters are really good, unfortunately the platform falls short with regard to product videos and cost. I have conceded and am currently trying several 3rd party filters.

There is no add to cart button in the search results. This should be a default feature. (Refresh Theme).

This definitely helps you select products that can compliment each other, like outfits, etc. Let's me feel like I have first hand in promoting combinations in my clients tastes. A little cumbersome to use though: - The search results window is fixed on the page and covers the product you are selecting complimentary prods for. It would be much easier if I could move that results list over to the side and eyeball possibilities - Search results show all status' of products. Don't see if they are eligible to display or not until you add them to the products list. - Would love if the display of complimentary products had option to suppress the product title and display a line grid of the first 3-4 recommendations. It would show there are more than just one suggestion. The '>' isn't always noticeable. Just making more work for the customer. Apps need to make things clear for them. Could be enhanced just a little for big paybacks
