  • By levshirel, 2016-07-28 via themeforest.net
  • Flexibility By ImanolArias, 2016-07-26 via themeforest.net The theme is very good. I like a lot. But I can´t give 5 stars for this:
    Breadcrumbs: If you want to use breadcrumbs you have to use Seo by Yoast mandatory.
    Review Plugin: I thought this theme would use a native review system and design, according to main estructure and theme design. But use a third part plugin, so standard in my opinion.
    Responsiveness and Resolution: the theme broke its design in 8 inch screens. There is no mid point when you pass from large to small screen sizes.
    I didn´t see this last point before I buy. If I did that maybe I thought buying this theme.
    Updating time: support is very good but time between updates I think is very large. Other developers adds features almost every week. Here we have to wait more time and sometimes only for "minor fixes" and/or "Wordpress version updates".
    Despite this points, the theme is very good. 4 stars for this.
