Truly one of the best themes out there. Palo Alto seriously has all the bells and whistles and makes building a new site a breeze. We are already seeing conversion rate increase since launching. Not to mention - the dev team is very fast, responsive and helpful when you have a question about the native theme elements. 10/10 would recommend.

I love it! The theme is excellent and their customer support is outstanding. Specially Bobby's/Damian's performance is something I really appreciate, they attend to my questions or inquiries so fast. Nothing to complain about.

The functionality is monotonous and lacks backend language translation, it is indistinguishable from a free version.
