What merchants say about Sense Shopify theme

We know about 74 reviews

I appreciate that this is a free theme, but if it is being offered to customers, the basic settings should really be included. At the moment, the theme seems to be aimed only at the English-speaking market. Standard elements such as button text, product variant labels and other key wording appear to be hard-coded, meaning they cannot be changed at design

Could you help me fix this in the theme code? Thank you.

I agree, you need to to be able to add images for mobile and web. How will the customer be confused?? This is literally used on 99% of websites as it's a lot more practical to try make banners fit in the two sizes..
