Friendly interface, easy to use and customize, rich features, best choice for me! Just facing some issues regarding to RTL takes some times for work arround and coding to solve. It will be the best if fully support Ar and RTL.

Love it - but wish it came with a "Last Piece" badge automatically in the theme. We updated the code ourselves, but find it a real hassle to have to keep redoing it everytime there is a theme update. Please include it in the next update! It should be a basic setup that comes with all themes especially for retail. Thanks guys

I love the Refresh theme—it has everything i need and is easy to customize. So far, I haven’t run into any limitations, and I’ve been using it for about two and a half years now. Great work—thank you!
