The best image hotspot

by hohotototo

Amazing plugin

Works perfectly with images, text even with different languages

Not responsive!

Currently the world uses the phone more than a computer, if this plugin is not responsive, why use it? it’s useless. It’s a shame because it’s excellent. I hope you can fix it. BR
