Customer Reviews
- Great support serviceReview by unkleara

There are many extensions that can do the job, but one of the more important factors to consider is support and Amasty has delivered so far. I have dealt with companies that say they offer support, but when you send them an email asking for help with their own extension they try to find ways to squeeze some extra cash for support. These guys aren't that kind of company. I sent a request for an issue with the extension and a custom theme I was using and received a response saying that I would need to wait a couple weeks until the programmer familiar with the extension/issue would be back from vacation to help. Which was understandable, but just a bit later that day I received an email from Alexander to resolve my problem. He took his time while on vacation to help me out. Definitely will prioritize you guys before others. It's good when a company keeps their word, but really nice when they go out of their way to help.Overall extension rating

I would definitely recommend this product, both because of the quality of it (does what it says on the tin) and the superb support. I had an issue with the installation over a weekend and by Monday morning, Amasty support had used a temporary login to diagnose and fix the problem. Great service!Overall extension rating

This extension is ace. It does exactly as advertised, and if something breaks on your end, or doesn't work as expected, basically anything you need support for, you receive that support. This has to be, by far, the best support I've got from a developer, because I've had numerous times where the after sales were rubbish, but this is quite the opposite.Overall extension rating
10/10. Excellent extension, and excellent support. Sometimes it's so great that I feel like I'm their only customer. (Posted on 3/15/13) - Strong toolReview by wojt

Amasty's Improved Navigation is exactly what I needed for our site. We have many categories as well as the need to sort products by brand and model. Improved navigation gives us the ability to have these navigation options right on the homepage. This extension really helps capture the power of Magento's unlimited attributes ability. I'm extremely happy with this extension. It was easy to install and the support is excellent. All of my emails were responded to quickly and effectively. I recommend this extension to anyone who wants to try it. You won't be disappointed.Overall extension rating

improved shop navigation
option image on product page
advanced categories and image for configurables
hide attribule until a customer selects some values in the parent attribute
alphabetical lists of all available brands or any other attribute
ajax-based navigation, ajax filtering
Version 2.2.1 - February 8, 2013
– Ability to select store views for 'Pages' feature. This allows to use different translations, static blocks and meta tags for each store view.
– Better compatibilty with Landing Pages extension
– Fix for search on modern versions (deprecated function removed)
– Fix for page configuration when multiple values of one attribute are selected
– URLs hash in ajax mode is disabled by default (clean urls, but back button does not work)
Version 2.2.0 - December 14, 2012
– Nice short urls for brand pages, e.g. example.com/canon.html, example.com/nike.html
– Great new category display mode - Advanced Categories. Allows to display either the whole category tree or any number of levels of category tree
– New block, in which you can display the list of a category subcategories together with thumbnails.
– Another fantastic feature - ability to display images of configurable products based on the customer selections. E.g. if a customer selects red color on in the 'color' filter, red images (if available), will be diplayed for configurable products on category pages. This feature can be utilized for all attributes, which are used for creation of configurable products.
– Dependent attributes update. Now you can show an attribute filter when any value in a different filter is selected. E.g. show 'color' filter only after one of 'size' values is selected.
– Advanced SEO feature, requires deep SEO knowledge. When there are very many attributes and their values, there's a huge number of possible attibute value combinations and pages accordingly. This may cause google not to index part of pages. You can specify a parameter for urls with multiple attribute values, which also needs to be specified in google account settings. Please be careful with this one :)
– Update for ajax mode. Attribute descriptions and images now get updated, when a new attribute option is selected.
– Improved compatibility with 3-rd party modules, which add javascript to pages.
– Enhanced UI for 'Pages' functionality.

Now you can specify more relevant meta tags for such pages and improve your site SEO.
– Ability to hide or move category filter - it is possible either to choose a different position for categories filter or to remove it from the navigation block.
– Ability to use attributes of 'price' type in the layered navigation, e.g. special price or any other attributes which utilize the type 'price'. The extension provides several display modes for such attributes - slider, dropdown, from-to, default.
– Custom range step for 'price' attributes. For example, if you specify 50, the ranges will be 0-50, 51-100, 101-150, etc
– Updated slider UI
