Describe the experience
The FLEX Theme is extremely versatile. It has hundreds of features which do away with the need to use many apps.
On the other hand, all those features make the Theme extremely slow (at least when I measure it via Google's Pagespeed Insights).
I appreciate, particularly, the fact that the FLEX Theme Team is very responsive when there's an issue.
Also, the FLEX Theme is regularly updated which is, of course, very important.
Finally, the Theme Updater App is a huge plus. With my previous Shopify theme, I dreaded the process every time I had to apply a theme update. With the Theme Updater App, the whole thing is simplified to less than 10 minutes for each update.
So, overall, I am very satisfied with the FLEX Theme, if we take out the fact that it's very slow. Even that, however, is (sort of) compensated for by the fact that the FLEX Theme developers have incorporated most of what Google recognizes as "Best Practices". In fact, according to my latest Google Pagespeed Insights score, I have a "Best Practices" score of 92, a "SEO" score of 83 and an "Accessibility Score" of 70 !!!

Feedback or suggestions for the theme developer
As I mentioned before, the only problem I have encountered, so far, is the fact that the FLEX Theme is very slow. At least this is my experience with my own site. I would appreciate it if it could be sped up but, on the other hand, I acknowledge the fact that this is probably due to its feature-rich nature. So, I'm not sure whether this is a feasible task ...
