Great product and support
Been using this to learn for a while as I'm not a Programmer, but it is really good and continues to be updated to improve the feature set. Support are also great. VIP support is $29 per annum and worth it if you're learning.Keep up the good work Ravi and the team.

Spectra Blocks feels like a step backward from Spectra Legacy
I used Spectra Legacy and found it much more straightforward. With Spectra Blocks, even something as basic as resizing and centering an image has become unnecessarily cumbersome. When a Core Image block is placed inside a Flex container, the normal WordPress Width/Height controls and resize handle disappear. The Dimensions settings shown by Spectra also don’t actually resize the image itself. The workaround I found is to create the container as Flow, add and resize the image there, then switch the container back to Flex so I can use justification and alignment. It works, but having to build things in a specific order just to resize an image is not intuitive at all. I’ve also encountered UI inconsistencies, such as vertical alignment not appearing in the sidebar until I first select it from the block toolbar. I understand that Spectra Blocks is built differently and relies more heavily on WordPress Core blocks, but from a user experience perspective, simple tasks that were easy in Spectra Legacy now require extra containers and workarounds. I really hope Brainstorm Force improves this. Spectra Blocks may be more modern under the hood, but right now parts of the editing experience feel noticeably less polished and less convenient than Legacy.

Janky, unfinished, unpolished
Very surprised at Brainstorm Force. I've been using their products for years - I have lifetime licenses to a number of their products and many of my clients are on their own licenses we've purchased for them. Spectra Blocks, the successor to Spectra (now Spectra Legacy) just feels like a complete miss right now. The settings are clunky and unintuitive and become slow as the page grows, there are numerous bugs and issues between what's shown front-end and in the editor, the copy/paste styles doesn't work at all which is a huge issue for our workflow, the flow of putting together complex sections with lots of columns and rows is messy. The Design Library which is something we use massively to implement quick sections as we go rarely connects and works. Their support have told me it's most likely an issue with our hosting / connections, however if I flick back over to Spectra Legacy the design library magically loads perfectly, so it's nothing on our end. Minutes of work previously is dangerously close to becoming hours of work. As a workaround I've tried to use their integration with their own product, ZIP AI, to build out sections, only to find that it doesn't use the native options in Spectra Blocks, it creates it's own CSS and doesn't work when copying/paste sections between pages?! Honestly, I'm really unimpressed. I'm going to have to abandon two builds we've trialled with Spectra Blocks losing hours and hours of work because it's just turning into a complete mess. I hope I can come back in time and update and improve this review, but for now, the only redeeming quality is that it kinda works if you're doing something super basic.

Great Support
Ravi, was great in helping me trace some warnings that kept filling up my logs and making it difficult and time consuming for me to find legitimate errors and deprecation issues. He explained the reasons why the debug notices were there in the first place. I explained when I temporarily enable wp-debug to periodically check my logs they kept filling up the logs with too much noise, he commented: "Your point is fair. A routine condition should not be writing to the log at all and it should not be crowding out the errors you turned debug on to find" There is now a bug report to address this issue. Much appreciated and keep up the great work!

Great support and well done extension
Brainstorm Force is a leader in support for website builders like me. They're always quick to respond and give comprehensive and direct to the point answers. Plus, Spectra block builder is a very good extension with lots of features.

The best customer team ever
I am not a tech guy and not sure if the theme itself is the best compared to others but enough. However, compared to Divi, their customer service team is so great and polite.
