Good plugin and service.

Simply Works & Ready for More

A plugin that your can actually startup your website with and be able to grow and earn money in order to buy their upgrades. They do NOT force you to buy by putting things that annoy you/customers. You can grow, earn, and spend with them if you wish. What a concept !!! Great plugin. I hope I make enough money to not worry about upgrading in the future. Great plugin.

Exceeded expectations

by wojch·2 months ago

I had a difficulty finding a decent carousel with no picture limit and a specific carousel effect.

I was indeed restricted with limits due to using the free version however the free one did more than I needed. It was the closest thing in my mind to what I wanted which I am satisfied with, I think it deserved a good rating for it.

Room for improvement would be to make the settings more understandable. it’s bit everywhere, sometimes making it difficult to read or follow. However there is many parts of the plugin where it’s managable on your own without using guides or videos.

Good job!
