Great Plugin although it lacks HTML Tag
This is a fantastic and easy-to-use plugin. Unfortunately, we can only use it for paragraph text as there is no functionality for HTML tagging. Looking forward to this feature. Thanks :)

Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Does exactly what it says on the tin. It was exactly what I was looking for and allows for plenty of customizability. Thanks!

It seems to be outdated
Either the installation manual is incomplete or/and the plugin is outdated. No matter which - the explanation is not the same as what happens in real life.

Feature overkill
In addition to the promised effects this plugin loads the whole Google fonts library and it's own styling options, instead of using the style options available in Wordpress. So, that's a no for me. If you need custom fonts for your animated text only and don't mind loading Google Fonts, this might be for you. If you want to maintain consistency for those using the site, find another solution.
