Didn’t work, and caused problems.

After trying the free version of this plugin, I decided to purchase the pro version. However, my experience has been very disappointing as I was only able to use the same features that were available

Hacked plugin

One of the websites I manage was infected thanks to this plugin. It’s probably not intentional damage, but poor plugin security. Don’t use it.

Best slider plugin

This is a great slider what works with Gutenberg editor. Although the settings are not done within the editor, I like the fact that they are managed under a separate space under the admin left column

Great and clean plugin

I’m very happy with this easy going and clear coding lightweight plugin. Making slides with information in a short time and without any previous knowledge makes this plugin one of my favorites. Thanks
