  • Whole React.js on frontend just for one block?

    Is it possible that the entire React is being loaded on the frontend just for this one block to work on the frontend?

  • Good feature set, needs a little polish

    Handles a lot of intro needs quite well. Being able to drag-drop slides to place them in order would be huge. It would prevent the need to remove and re-create two slides just to move their position. Also, being able to add a video URL as a slide source would be a game-changer as well. Both those would make it a no-brainer for the $10 paid version.

  • Terrible Plugin

    I tried to upgrade to the Pro version and was charged twice. The button link did not work. The contact form on the website does not work. Terrible experience. Do not recommend it.

  • Very good plugin with optimization needs

    A recommendable plugin with useful features and very good usability. To be able to use it, however, I am missing two important features: The content block (headline, description, button) usually needs a background color (with variable transparency and variable padding), if the photo behind it in the slider is too bumpy to read the text. And in my opinion a plugin must take into account the defaults for the color selection, in my case always specified via the functions.php (theme support for custom color palette). This is the only way to ensure that only the required colors are available (applies to text, background and button). Martin
