  • Good plugin with some room for improvement

    Promising animation plugin. I just don't know about being the most advanced. The available effects are fairly standards, and you have to configure the presents. Custom effect per block is not possible. Also, when I add the plugin's special css class to a block, the block disappears from the editor view. Although animation runs on the front end, you want to be able to see the static version of the block in the editor for layout purposes. Update: the author responded and addressed my issues. I got the plugin working as expected. Awesome. Another update: been using this plugin for a couple projects and I like the animation effects and easy to use interface. Recently I found some issue with some HTML code the plugin injects in my template code causing display issues. I've posted a support request about it.

  • Thanks a lot, but please keep improving this :)

    This is only free plugin of its kind. Please keep improving this whenever you have time. Thank you for providing animation in the hands of those who cannot afford to have premium solutions.

  • super plugin

    De nombreux effets super et originaux, ce plugin est en plus très facile a utilisé, en compatible avec élémentor. De plus, le développeur est très réactif et à l'écoute. Je recommande vivement ce plugin pour des effets Wouhaou!

  • Amazing Plugin

    It's really easy to set up and use. Very user-friendly support. I also notice that, especially WebGL effects, they are amazing and also have Lock to scrollbar. I strongly advise you to use that plugin.
