This could be the absolute best gallery plugin available, but… The inability to communicate with the author except via an anonymous “app” layer (upzilla) causes me to reduce my rating from 5 stars to 3. Reduce by another star because in order to purchase the PRO version, I also have to go through (upzilla), requiring me to produce PII to an unknown and untrusted entity. If the author did not force the purchase or support to go through an untrusted source, I might be induced to rase my 2-star rating up to a 3 or possibly even a 4-star if the purchase process were changed to utilize a payment method connected with a trusted source like PayPal, or maybe even Venmo or Zettle. As for support options, maybe something with ZenDesk or even a local forum from their website would be far better than forcing me to deal with an untrusted third-party.
In summary, all of the issues above cause me to have concerns over submitting my Personal Identifiable Information and that causes me to be concerned over whether I am dealing with a legitimate business.
I have been using another gallery plugin for the last 10 years. I manage 1189 galleries on 68 websites. This is the first gallery plugin I have used that out of the box gives the proper shorting of the images. At the present time I have over 30,000 images installed on those 1189 galleries.
I would strongly recommend this plugin if you are looking for a gallery image that has great function and great looking images in the gallery.
I tried a few gallery plugins before testing Robo Gallery, Robo Gallery is the plugin with the best functionality, and with version 5 it is even better.
5 STARS !!!
The reason I give Robo-Gallery 5 stars is simply because the galleries load fast & clean for my website visitors.
I do not need twirling images in my gallery.
I photograph a small local racetrack. All those guys want is to see their cars in the races on the track. The quicker & easier it is for them to find the images they want to see, the better it is for me (and them).
I have tried other gallery plugins, but I like the way Robo Gallery – just works!
I have tried a lot of gallery plugins. This one is by far the best.
