About Categories Uncomplicated

Categories Uncomplicated builds a hierarchical set of categories and sub-categories from your existing Shopify navigation menus. On your collection and product pages it shows sub-category drill-down icons and category-based breadcrumbs, so customers can see how your products are grouped, move between related categories, and find what they want faster. Categories stay consistent with the menus you already maintain, with nothing extra to manage. Build multi-level categories and sub-categories direct from your Shopify menus Show sub-category drill-down icons on your collection and product pages Add category-based breadcrumbs with structured JSON-LD data for search engines Multilingual - supports all your store's languages via Shopify Translations Customise icon colours, fonts and spacing, with a mobile-responsive layout Show more Show less

Excellent app. We have over 3,000 product collections for over 2million products. This app helped us organise this and get breadcrumbs on our product pages with ease. We're already seeing SEO benefits. Also fantastic speedy support from the developer. Highly recommended

— Book Curl

Exceptional customer service

— Bulbs and Lighting

The app does exactly what it's meant to do, and we got a quick response to our support request, with an accurate diagnosis of our problem (it was an odd default setting in our theme) and quick fix.

Perfect customer support.

— Kilpi

This does exactly what it says it does, and is perfect for my needs with setting up larger collections on my site.

— Sensory Connect ABN 87895749138

When I submitted a bug, the developer quickly fixed it. This is a good, sustainable APP.

— The DDOXOO Company

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.

— The Wool Company

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. T...

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.

Great app! I think some people in the review section misunderstand what it does. It's not a menu builder, but it allows you to structure your collections and product pages better by adding breadcrumbs and subcollections, thus ensuring better UX for your customers. Reasonably priced. The support is also top-notch and Alex has been swift to respond. 5 stars and a solid must-have for stores with larg...

I downloaded this app to try it, and now, a month later, I am charged $10 for something I'm not using or ever will use.

— ScootersMiami

Apps Does not work. I follwed directions to a t and never did what it claims to do. there is no support or help. just and email with an auto return stating to go watch the videos.

— Southern Sweet Designs

Great app. Alex is fast with his responses, and takes the time to visit your site and see how everything is working. We ended up solving the problem I was having together using some unique workarounds. Alex did all of this while I was still on the trial period and not even paying yet. I look forward to continuing to use this app, and hopefully other apps that Alex and this developer come up with i...

— KY School Shop

We have used Categories Uncomplicated for many years, since the beginning of our online store, without problems. Everything works perfectly. Recently, we had an issue with the front end online, and Shopify tech support identified the problem as being Categories Uncomplicated. Except it wasn't. Alex, when contacted, jumped right in to help and identified the actual problem. Even though he didn...

— Booster Club Sales

Alex was very quick to respond to support requests and was very helpful. He was able to pinpoint the issue and help us fix it quickly. Thank you very much Alex.

— Beautiful Bambino

Alex is amazing! He not only handled my initial frustration (due to my own lack of understanding, not his fault) well, but he went above an beyond in helping to get me set up correctly with the app. We recently upgraded our Dawn theme, and this app is a perfect addition to our new set up. The most amazing thing of all though, is that when I asked if Alex could create and adjustment that allowed t...

— TSC

This app fulfilled our needs of having multiple tiered categories and sub-categories in our Shopify store. Alex is also responsive to our tickets and is helpful. Fully satisfied with the app!

— E-Rigging

Setup requires some coding experience, but when it's installed, it works perfectly! Super happy with the app and with the fact that we now have nice breadcrumbs, works as I hoped now!
