What merchants say about Taste Shopify theme

We know about 14 reviews

Why the 3rd or so oldest and biggest social platform, LinkedIn, isn’t among all free themes’ icons? ?!?

There's no "Buy" button available below the product information.

I'm using it for 3 months now. It's a good theme for an entry level, after couple of months you'll know what you miss and need in a paid theme :) I can't complain.

This theme really helped our brand come together in a more fluid way than some of our purchased themes. Really impressed and you can also ask Shopify AI Help Center for custom codes designed for this theme without added costs. Highly recommend this FREE theme. poutperfect.us

Why don't product description images scale when viewed on mobile? On desktop everything is fine, but on mobile they remain huge.

Theme looks nice, however there's no "Add block" function under Product information. Would love it if they are able to change it.
