Exceptional!
In today's world of help bots, call trees, multi-day interaction frequency, bslider simply stands out as exceptional. One email (from a free licensee), a response within a couple of hours; another response shortly thereafter that they were investigating the issues I reported. Maybe 12 hours after that, I received an email announcing they had repaired the defects I reported (and some others) and wishing me well in using the tool. Nobody does that anymore. Their support team deserves respect and appreciation.

Great support
I had a problem with the plugin on my website. The team could not reproduce this problem in the first instance. After I had given them admin rights, the problem was solved within a day. Compliment for the great support.

dangerous plug in highjack my site
Don't install this plugin "B Slider", it's dangerous for your website, once installed it doesn't even work, gives error on the website, and then won't even edit the page. And the more cruel thing is that it is not even disabled, neither by the admin nor by the developer. This is a dangerous situation. In which my website is stuck. It seems that this plugin has hijacked my website and made it a slave, now the plugin is neither un-installing nor giving an edit option. Nor is fixing my site. I'm stuck. . My site is down, my efforts are in vain

For me - too much bloat 😭
Just to mention, due to one block on the frontend - the entire Bootstrap CSS, entire React JS, complete fontAwesome.css are all loaded. Woow? You can say goodbye to fast page speed. The only good thing is that those are not loaded on every page, but only on those using blocks.

Super easy to use, and responsive support
Been very happy with our pro purchase. Did have a few issues, but the developer is very responsive and supports this plugin well.
