essential - thank you!
I use this with all of my wordpress installations. It's so super useful.Thanks a lot for providing this. Hopefully it will work also with the newer wp-versions - I'll try.

Life Saver
Thank you very much for the plugin. Default list view makes me crazy especially the "Move to". I wonder why this is not built-in.

So handy
A great little plugin that improves greatly block navigation and, super important, blocks movement. Put a block into another block precisely is so important.

exactly what I needed
This is one of the best Gutenberg Builder Add-ons I've seen so far. Great tool that compensates the lack of an block overview feature in the Gutenberg Builder itself. Hope this will become part of Gutenberg sooner or later.

Amazing Plugin and So Useful!
I learned about this from the Kadence WP tutorial on YouTube. They need to make a Pro version of this plugin so I can buy it! I absolutely love it, and it's smooth. I just downloaded it and it works amazingly so far. So glad you made this plugin, and I can't believe it's free! Gutenburg needed something like this badly! Thanks!

Very helpful plug-in
Coming from Elementor I think that a navigator is a really helpful feature for a pagebuilder. Per default Gutenberg unfortunately does not provide such feature. This is where this plugin comes in very handy.
