Awesome theme for us! Had to contact support once (the issue was actually a third party plugin) and they got back to me asap in a very positive and helpful way! The theme does everything I want it to do and more. Great for our yarn store!

We have been using this theme for years. It is so far the best theme we found to present our products. The customer service is prompt when needed.

The Retina theme transformed our online store, take a look www.algodeolga.com. The visual appeal is immediate, but the real win is how easy it is to manage. The drag-and-drop sections make updating content a breeze. It's fully responsive, and our customers have complimented how easy it is to browse and shop. The customer service is great.

I spent a lot of time looking at themes and Retina provided exactly what I was looking for. More importantly, though, their customer service has been super great. Very quick, very helpful and thorough. I definitely recommend the theme and Out of the Sandbox.

Super buggy and restrictive theme, not great responsiveness, and not well-optimised. Issues with CLA also. Swapped to Craft (free Shopify theme) which instantly improved loading speed, CLA and responsiveness. OOTS support is awful too - they still haven't fixed the gallery bug.
