Reviews

A real scam, careful

senda2020 May 26, 2021

Non-existent technical support. The plugin is incomplete or unusable in the latest versions of WP … money wasted

complete waste of time

oregondoglife November 23, 2020

Free version way too limited. Did not show any captions, but showed the name of the file instead of the caption. The photos in the grid open up to the same size as what is in the grid display. Totally ridiculous

Absolutely unbelievable gallery

olivaser August 24, 2020

I like this plugin very much! Everything simple and works very fast. Themes have lots of settings.

Perfect solution

eptinomy August 21, 2020

Simple gallery with wide range of the front end views. I used it for the header slider and gallery grid, with the single plugin. Cool!

No support available

athar64 August 11, 2020

The plugin does work but there is NO support available via their so called 24/7 ticketing system – my tickets are sitting on their system for over a week but no response came back even after reminders. Without much needed support the advanced features are not practical and there is no documentation available. Why invest in paid version if you end up with a simple gallery?

Cool gallery with simple themes

netvigreg June 22, 2020

I really like gallery themes idea. It’s very simple to configure themes and reuse it for the other galleries. Very helpful.
