One of the BEST out there for me
I like to use this plugin because it’s lightweight, doesn’t add too much (like templates, patterns…) and has some really nice features that are almost required if you want to build a good theme. The support is very fast and consistent ...for a free plugin it is not so many common. I hope it will keep its minimal approach!

Excellent aditing to Gutenberg Blocks
This plugin has completely changed the way I build with Gutenberg, adding loads of super features and effects. It is also light weight and easily configurable, and help and support is briliant-with all issues solved quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended!!

Easy to use plugin and exceptional support!!!
Premium Blocks for Gutenberg has been a game-changer for our site. It was incredibly simple to use straight out of the box and instantly gave us access to a wide range of enhanced blocks that massively expand what Gutenberg can do. The added functionality has helped us build pages faster and with more flexibility than ever before. But what really sets this plugin apart is the support - genuinely some of the best I’ve ever come across. The team is responsive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they clearly care about their users. Highly recommended to anyone using Gutenberg. This plugin will elevate your editing experience, and you’ll be in great hands with the support team behind it.

Plugin Breaks blocks & will not recover blocks
Zero support on this plugin simply became useless as it just breaks the blocks & you cant update them or recover the data. If your plugin doesn't work or you don't offer support please remove it from the WP plugin list. Avoid at all costs..

Good tool, good support, sometimes flaky
Overall, this it is a good tool with some nice features. At times it behaves a little flaky and seems to conflict with the basic gutenberg elements. These little challenges are made up for by relatively good support. So its not perfect but its very good - four stars.

Awesome
I'm giving 5 stars because of the effort I can see in this plugin, however, the plugin still missing more features like templates or patterns but I believe that you will provide this feature in the near future and I'm thrilled to see it in your plugin. What I can say is, keep going guys, you are doing a very good job and I'm awaiting more and more from you!
