Slow, buggy, poor interface
Maybe coming from a non design or non computer direction, this plugin makes sense, but it's janky and frustrating to work with, at best. I would also add the free features seem to be functional but they still pack the interface with paid features that make it even more frustrating to work with because they junk everything up. Otherwise, I found it to be extremely buggy with an interface that reminds me of trying to design a layout in microsoft word, except unlike word, if you make certain changes, there is literally no way to undo them, it can wipe out your page with a simple mis click and there's no undoing it aside from backing out to a previous save entirely, assuming you have one. Similarly, recreating or duplicating something like an existing container, can't be done, or it's again not intuitive. Making a new container, particularly in some of the existing themes, makes it impossible to match existing ones, there doesn't seem to be a way to just duplicate something or see the underlying reason why some block have huge margins while new ones seemingly cannot obtain the same ones, this may be an issue with some of the available kits though, not the base plugin, not sure. This gets even worse when it comes to features like forms, once you get fields vertically, there's basically no way to get input groups back to 2 colums and the insert function can't find form fields, it only allows for inserting an entire form. Looking through reddit and forum thread, almost every bug or unwanted behavior is blamed on wordpress core, as if these aren't known issues and features and can't be compensated for, hint: this is literally the purpose of programming an interface and theme plugin... It's not intuitive, kits for example don't carry over to new pages???, it's like every page is a new website, the admin interface is extremely slow and buggy, templates often don't load at all, paid ones usually find a way ironically. If I use the html editor/viewer on a block, I have to try a

Great plugin and Great Help
Spectra has been a great plugin for building and customizing my website. It’s flexible, easy to use, and has allowed me to create layouts that would have been much more difficult otherwise. I recently encountered a formatting issue, and their support team was excellent—they investigated the problem, identified the cause, and worked with me until it was fully resolved. Really impressed with both the plugin and the support behind it. Highly recommended!

Excellent support and service...
These guys really know their stuff and they share it willingly. I worked on a project and had never used the Spectra Blocks before. It's different than Astra itself. I'm thankful for the developers willingness to help those of us that stumbled through the transition.

Best support ever!
When I first started using Spectra, I felt overwhelmed because it has so many features. You can create amazing layouts. I still don't master it but I am learning every day. I was moving a large site from staging to production, so I was naturally nervous that something might go wrong. I can honestly say I wouldn’t have managed without the help of their amazing support team, who guided me every step of the way. If you value your work and time online, I recommend choosing Spectra and their support team. They truly deserve 10 out of 10 stars! L.
