Perfect

Even if some little things could be improved for the responsive.

Спасибо за плагин!

Очень давно пользуюсь. Меню великолепно выглядит на смартфонах.

Excellent and very simple

in the heavy plugins era, this is the best option for an versatil html slider

Good looking menu but…

I was hoping to just have the one menu plugin for my site but the responsive version looks like crap. It has very few options and all it does is collapse the whole menu into 3 bars, which looks awful

did what I needed

I needed to retrofit an old child theme of twentyeleven to improve on the functionality of the main menu. This plugin did the trick perfectly
