Reviews

Real good!

20 November 2022
It's hard not to go for the premium version, when you see how good the plugin and the support are.

Well thought out, happy!

31 October 2022 1 reply
Using this on a clients' site we were excited about the possibilities it had in store. After using it quite a bit, and going through the various options, on several templates, we experience it as a very sturdy plugin capable of more than it says on the tin. We wanted something "very custom" and we needed to tweak and tweak and tweak to get to where we wanted to be, due to our wishes ofc. But we are really happy to say that this plugin delivers! The support from the developer is excellent and we could not be happier with the answers we have had so far. The help has been needed as we don't do code, and sometimes, we needed some code. Without the help, we would have easily struggled a lot more. So this is a HUGE thanks to Steven, for the build, and the support. Thanks a lot for a great plugin.

Best support ever!

What a great plugin on its own, but the constant support I received, made it all the better!

Great plugin, exceptional support
