Overall, "Shopify Forms" is appreciated for its ease of use, seamless integration with Shopify, and the ability to be set up quickly. For many, it serves as a useful tool to enhance email list subscriptions without any additional cost. However, frequent complaints highlight limitations in customization, localization, and certain functional constraints that hinder its full potential.
Key Strengths
Easy to set up and user-friendly interface.
Seamless integration with Shopify and native apps like Shopify Flow, Shopify Emails, and Shopify Discounts.
Effective in growing email subscriber lists.
Free to use, making it an appealing alternative to costly third-party apps.
Simplicity and effectiveness for basic form needs.
Common Concerns
Lack of customization options for styling and localization.
Forms can display on all pages without the option to choose specific pages.
Response data is difficult to manage or analyze outside of Shopify due to format and lack of export features.
Popup and forms behavior issues, such as not honoring subscription status or appearing regardless of previous user interactions.
Bugs related to browser compatibility, especially with Safari and Firefox.
Final Thoughts
While "Shopify Forms" is a straightforward and effective tool for basic form creation and email collection, its current limitations in customization and functionality could hinder merchants with more complex needs. The app is particularly beneficial for small businesses looking for a simple, no-cost solution, but improvements in flexibility and functionality could make it a more comprehensive tool for wider merchant demographics.

Simple forms that are easy to get going but the lack of being able to add CSS styling or other basic layout options is a definite drawback. Works fine for basic forms.

Love how it integrates nicely with shopify emails, shopify flow, shopify discounts and allows easy tagging (which you'll use for flow). Love that its free! Once a template was created in the theme customiser, it was straightforward to add the app block and then input the app ID so it appeared on the page.

Good as a pop-up form. So would give it a 4.
Lacks in functionality though, would be great if their was more integration with Shopify to allow:
- Custom Contact Forms
- Integration with Email for post purchase form as an example
Given its a Shopify App, I expected a bit more basic functionality.

Love how it integrates nicely with shopify emails, shopify flow, shopify discounts and allows easy tagging (which you'll use for flow). Love that its free!
However, it's a bit of a learning curve for beginners as there aren't a lot of video resources/ tutorials when it comes to integrating it with other shopify apps, and using tags.
Also CSS design changes are limited, as the app doesn't allow targeting for CSS within the forms. I was able to target the section/container the form lives in and do some design stuff there, but thats about it. You are stuck with the design options the app gives you in the editor (which is sufficient for most forms).

Easy install and config. I embedded it in several page on page level and also template level. I like also the popup version. Until now i don't have any complaints.
only 4 stars because no time (hrs:min) field , no embed in pages and for very slow loading

I received help for my query after a day or so. The founder, explained that it was possible to embed as an inline form. I just needed to create a template for this from my 'page' (this is where my content was and where I wanted the form to appear. Once a template was created in the theme customiser, it was straightforward to add the app block and then input the app ID so it appeared on the page.
Very relieved to get this help and hopefully they will be updating the knowledge content to explain this with even more clarity as on first glance it doesn't seem possible to embed at all.

Great app! but can we customise the layout rather than having all fields in vertical order?

Could you create a function where the popup stops being shown for a while if the customer clicks on "X" to close the popup without signing up? Because it continues to open even if I click close, when I load the page again, the popup appears. This is boring.
