**edited: we recently just got a new theme and were having issues getting the filters to show correctly. Chris has worked with me so that they are showing and everything is exactly as I want. Highly recommend this app and the service is second to none. We have been using this app for years now and love it! It simplifies everything in our categories (which are quite large) and makes finding something a hell of a lot easier! They set it up for us, shuffled it around so that we were happy with the look and feel of the filtering, and then when I've had questions, there is always someone to help on the live chat. Highly recommend if you have large categories and need to filter them in an easy no fuss way :)
Really solid tech support experience. They responded quickly, explained what was causing the filter setup issue, and walked me through the correct settings. Everything is working perfectly now
This has been a really useful for our unique navigation needs. It takes some work to figure out and set it up, but worth it. We recently changed themes and Chris has given us excellent support! Again helped us with a quick fix for an issue we created.
Amazing app that gave us the ability to have different meta tags for different collections with selected filters. This is something that’s not possible in Shopify by default if you’re using parameters in the URLs - but this app makes it possible! Their support team went above and beyond by creating a custom solution for us completely free of charge. It allows dynamic loading of SEO content as well as infinite scroll functionality. We are extremely satisfied and highly recommend this app!
In the backend, the 'Vendor' filter had all the brands, but only a fraction of them were displayed on the collection page. Some tags were also set without permission. After uninstalling the filter, these were not removed and my default filter no longer works properly. A new test is therefore no longer an option.

Hi, please note that only the brands that are applicable to the current collection will show on the page - if you want to show all of the brand filters there are a number of options, such as the 'list' and 'replacer' modes, so you can customize the options to best suit your store and customers. We have tried reaching out to you, our support team is always on hand to help resolve any issues. Once an app is removed from your Shopify store it can no longer make any changes, however we can easily clean up and restore any changes made by the app via support. Please get in touch so we can help you get your store sorted out. Please note, leaving a negative review as your first option instead of contacting support is not entirely fair, our team works very hard on providing the best app and support we can, and these types of reviews are damaging to our business, particularly when they can easily be resolved or are due to how the app was configured.
I promise you that I have never had better customer service in my life, this application has completely changed the way my web makes it easier to find the right product for my clients, it has been the best experience of my life, special thanks to Chris for always helping me with my requirements quickly and with quality.
There is no other Filtering App that even comes close to how clean and fast this one is. I've tried a lot of them. This app won't turn your URLS into a bag of shit. Chris in customer service performed with a diligence I have never experienced before with Shopify apps... followed our design instruction to a T. Highly recommended!!!
Amazing customer service. We have a huge inventory and rely on this filtering app to help our customers navigate. I can't say enough good things about this app. A must!
For me, I find this app really useful for bulk updates of a 10 year old inventory and also managing customer filtering options at the front end. I have found this easy to use, easy to install and when I have had something I have been unsure about or struggled with then the support team have been helpful, quick and responsive. Totally recommend this. At least take up the free trial, you have nothing to loose.
Update July 2023: We've been using the app for about 5 years and are still very happy with it. The support is spectacular and willing to help troubleshoot, offer guidance, and even some customizations. Very affordable. Original review: Excellent app. I spent considerable time trying to set up other product filter apps and none of them did what we needed. Power tools filter is incredibly customizable and there are tons of automatic installations meaning even those with little coding experience can implement these filters on their site. There are also helpful tutorials if you get stuck and support was excellent. I was initially hesitant at the price when compared to other filter apps but of the ones I looked at in depth Power Tools has many more features and is worth it.
Efficace, et support technique au top du top. Ils aident vraiment et sont très réactifs! Merci pour cette super appli
10 stars for customer service. The app itself does what I need it to do. Took some getting used to in that I had to rethink how I use tags. I'd prefer a way to have a good filter menu without having to create countless collections and new tags but there may not be, especially for the price. I looked around for weeks and couldn't find a combination of decent filter menu and low price that beat this one. Chris set up all the initial filters I wanted and then I was able to slowly understand how to do it on my own. It is definitely an improvement to my store. Again, cannot overstate how responsive the customer service is.
I have been using Power Tools since 2014. The Power Tools Suite is an excellent investment and the product support team is top-notch. Quick response times whenever I have a question or request for a customization, with helpful suggestions along the way. A great value—both the product and the service!

Thanks so much for the review!
Great app with an even greater support. Very quick response, did some modifications for us in no time. Highly recommend!
Very happy with this app, it works perfectly. I am particularly happy to find it works with my Variants on Collection Page app - the only Filter app I tried that does. Had a couple of install issues but Joshua sorted them out within about half an hour of installing the app. Recommend highly :)
Great app and customer support! Quick responses. The app works perfectly. Special thanks to Chris who has been very helpful!
Incredibly powerful app - has transformed the way we can layout large number of products. Highly recommend and very good supper too
Excellent product great for SEO, customer support is second to none. 5 stars! Special thanks to Chris on customer support team for his help.
Great app, best support team to work with. I really recommend them to any business owner who have a custom requirement for the filters.
I installed a few filtering apps and was about to call a developer and then I found this app. It's by far the best filtering app I found on the store. If you think of a feature, there is a chance that's it all ready in there and in case you have an issue, the service is also very helpful! Thanks for helping me to increase my conversion rate.
This is a must have App, to help your site visitors find the right product for them, in our case Perfumes. The support team is helpful, we had a small issue with a Collection Link, this was sorted out by Filter Menu Team within 2 days. The only thing is maybe the monthly plan is maybe a little bit expansive. thank you
Best app for this type. Awesome functions and a great support!!! Used it for color filters for my shop. Already worth it!!

Fantastic! Thanks for the glowing review!
What an app, what a team behind it! I can't sing the praises loud enough of the Power Tools team and of course Filter Menu. It's two key things: 1. Great value. 2. Really powerful and flexible bringing a new dimension to your Shopify site and more importantly the experience of your customers. Now, for a few footnotes... It isn't that easy to use but this is mainly to do with the sheer power of the app. It will take you some time to acclimatise to the mechanics of the app and its eccentricities (there are many). That said, the Power Tools team are on hand to help and they really do. Keep in mind that they are in different time zones - one support team in Europe and another in Australia (which is useful). It can take a little while for difficult issues to be sorted but they do get sorted. The aliasing feature is truly amazing and with some patience you can create elegant filters to convert browsing customers into buying customers. I've found that I had to watch the excellent tutorial videos a few times to understand what to do and then occasionally check with support on more detailed things. They will help you. I'd add here that I've been designing, building and developing websites for 20 years and I did need to carefully understand the app before launching into config - and I made some mistakes. Important note. If you update your theme then Filter Menu also needs to be "updated" too to ensure it works. The Power Tools team offered to do this for me and I was about 90% successful on my first attempt but one or two small issues did occur. Power Tools helped me with this. There is a need for better docs on the update process and I hope Chris and the gang are reading this and will action it. It will generate so much more confidence in the app. So, I would thoroughly recommend that app without exception. Thanks Power Tools.
Amazing support and great app. 10/10 would recommend. They actually helped me solve an issue that was not even part of the app but out theme.

Thanks for your lovely review, our support team is always happy to try help you get your store working at it's best!
My shop works a lot online and the team in 24h has customized my requests and is very professional. very good 5 stars. recommended
I need to say that this is the best App-support experience I had so far! Very helpful! Just 3 days after installing the app, it is EXACTLY how I wanted it, with all the code changes that the support was necessary for. I use the color filter, and love the way it looks and works. I would give 6 stars if this would be possible :)
I needed to filter by color but I wanted the app to pull just the specific variant colors and this is the only app that I found that can do it this good. You just name your colors and it picks it up as a tag. The best part is they are always helping, at the beginning it might look complicated but they helped me with anything I needed and even did the install for me into my theme and tons of adjustments after. Now the app is doing exactly what I need and I am still on my trial. Without paying anything they have helped me so much. This app will be well worth the $15 a month now that customers will filter by color. I strongly recommend this app, they are so helpful!
We needed to feature a search by size function for our website and Filter Menu does the job. The installation and customization process isn't instantaneous depending on the shop's theme, but Chris and his team is more than ready to help to get the job done.
This app is one of the easiest apps I have ever had to install. We had an issue with the filter menu not appearing on our sidebar, but this was sorted really quickly. Everyone I spoke to was it really pleasant. Overall an amazing experience.
We used this app to perform size filters. The help desk and guidelines are extremely user friendly and easy to understand and follow. We had a very easy time working with them.
We highly recommend Power Tools and the Filter Menu app. The filter menu is completely customisable and simple to use. Power Tools have helped us install the app on our custom theme - they've been quick to respond and help with manual installation. We can't thank them enough!

Thanks so much for the great review about our support team!
Great customer service, they really get the job done in record time. This is by far one of the best apps I have used on Shopify.

Wow, thanks so much for the review - our support team really appreciates it!
Great App for the Price, My only Gripe is that I wish there was some more informational material or video examples of what everything does. I'm sure if I would have asked the Dev team would have helped. Other than that it has been relatively easy to use .

Hi, thanks for the feedback - we have a full library of video and support documents in our Help Center: http://help.powertoolsapp.com/en/
Absolutely phenomenal software. I can't imagine a single Shopify store out there that shouldn't have this installed because I know when I shop online for myself, I look to filter products by what is actually in-stock in my size as there is no point looking at items that you won't fit into anyway. And this is what this app lets you do rather than just the dumb filters that come with Shopify as standard. This is the kind of functionality that really should be part of Shopify as standard but these guys have gone and made a robust feeling app to fill the need. A++++ P.S I'm on the Out of the Sandbox Turbo theme and it worked with their installer just fine.
Chris resolved our problem with the new theme in less than 30 mins! This app boosted our conversion. Lightening fast response. Highly recommended!

Thanks for your review! Love your store!
We found the customer service really helpful as well as the app works really well! It's a bit confusing to start with but once you get the hang of it it's really easy.
by far the best customer service out there! Probably the best customer support I have ever experienced. And of course also a great app for my needs.
The best filter app for Shopify. We are using it for a lot of our stores. Highly recommend it to any store with lots of products. Excellent service too!
Great App! We now have a really nice looking, easy to navigate filter menu that makes it easier for customers to find what they want. Found it easy to setup and the support has been superb. Thanks.
We needed a robust, organized and flexible solution for our store, which will carry 1000's of items. Their Dashboard makes managing filters, tags and bulk editing a breeze! As well, they were quick to assist me with my questions and setup. Great value for the money! "Filter Menu" by Power Tools is that solution, and more.
Great app once you get to grips with it, super helpful customer service replied very quickly to all my questions.
Very good app and excellent customer service. All my queries were answered immediately and the team even helped implementing the app to my theme.
Once you get the hang of it, you realize this is an essential app for any store that wants to have professional filtering. You can easily do some aesthetic tweaks (for a small price) to make it look better on your site. The app's team is quick and helpful. It's an essential app. www.ifoodequipment.ca
Fabulous App! exactly what I was looking for. Its helps with sorting out our bazillion products. It also very easy to learn and implement.
The app is great, super easy to work with and modify. Support is fast and reliable
Amazing app easy to use and especially an extraordinary good customer service! Veronica help me fix a little issue in less than 24h! Very happy!!
Hands down the absolute best app for sorting collections with lots of products and variants. Brads support went above and beyond to make sure I understood how to utilize the app properly and also made me realize some best practices to deploy in my shop for my collections. I wish they had more than 5 stars to give because Power Tools - Filter Menu deserves it !!! **UPDATE** One year into using this app and it keeps getting better and better. Recently had a few questions regarding added functionality and Veronica and Brad were not only prompt in responding, but their support to helping me unlock additional functionality was key in taking my shop to the next level with my filters. Thanks again and keep up the great support!!
5 stars so far I am still fairly new to using it but if offers exactly the features I need for a large catalogue. The question I asked prior to downloading was answered quickly and competently and I look forward to continued use of the app! Would definitely recommend.
This app is absolutely astounding and the support from Brad is completely professional and fast. We set this up in our store with over 500 categories and subcategories. This app includes any tool you will require to add filter menus and tags to your store. Highly recommend this app and would provide a 10 star rating if available.
Really easy way to get a drop down filter on your site and for free!
Excellent App. OPHERTY & CIOCCI www.ophertyciocci.com Luxury Vintage, Pre-Loved Fashion
Takes a little bit to get used to, because it's very flexible, and has a lot of options. But, now that I've got the hang of it, it's as simple as adding tags to my products, and they automatically categorize in my store. Every time I've had an issue, it's been user error....no fault of the app. I will also say that support helped more than I expected. They went above and beyond, in my opinion.
A fantastic app for guided navigation. Support in getting us installing and running was impeccable and would highly recommend this app to anyone looking for filtering solution on shopify stores.
Important and great app especially if you've got a lot of products, but most of all excellent service!
This APP is fantastic, it is rich in features and works smoothly. We made some coding changes to our website that impacted the APP, so we reached out to Power Tools Support and received fast and efficient resolution. Would highly recommend APP and company for their good service. allwatchbands.com
The app is fantastic in provided a clean navigational click through path and the support is even better. Highly recommend.
I saw this app and it looked just what I required. Emailed and Brad responded within a few hours. I paid to have it installed (at a very fair and low price indeed). Brad had me up and running the very next day. I had an employee add tags to our products (VERY simple with the BULK edit tags in the app). A couple of days later and it was all up and running. Super easy. Thanks! HIGHLY recommended. Kind regards, Julian Patrick Managing Director www.stovefitterswarehouse.co.uk
Wonderful experience working with Brad and I can't say enough on this app. It is the only filter app that auto updates the filters as options are selected. The previous app I used didn't offer this feature, if the filter doesn't auto update then it gives options that aren't available and your customers will just end up with empty carts. Give this app and Brad a chance, you won't be disappointed.
I really like this filter app. I really like how I can choose how to filter everything and how it sorts it within the original collection. The look of it is nice too. I think the customer support alone is a great reason to get this app. I had a unique request for them and they were up to the challenge and immediately went in and implemented the solution to my request. I highly recommend this app. Thank you so much!!
Great app, very functional and doesn't slow down the site. Also great customer service, very helpful.
Great app! The installation was quick, and the support from Brad was fantastic. Thank you all!
So far, so good! This app does a great job of getting around Shopify's limitations with filters, and Brad provides excellent support and customer service, making customisations for us where possible
I originally had some trouble understanding this app, but after a couple of times watching their really informative video, I got the hang of it. They really communicated and helped me with some problems I was having. Super amazing company and product. A must have.
A little confusing to set up at first, but works wonderfully. My only complaint - I wish it didn't have to refresh whenever you select/deselect a filter. This forces the customer to scroll back down.
This makes my site look professional and much easier to navigate. I sell dog supplies, so there are lots of products. For example Dog Collars has martingales, nylon, leather, sparkle, etc. These filters make it much easier for my customer to fine tune what they are looking for. Great app!
Superb app with great support and knowledgeable programmer. Nicely done.
great app! good work around for the lack of filter options within shopify itself. adds great usability to your store!!
