Carousel Slider


I appreciate that all the paid features of its counterparts are free and of high quality.


great plugin


I tried 5 or 6 plugins just to get an image carousel that actually worked. None of them were functional. I was about to write my own plugin when I tried yours. Thank you!!! Simple, lightweight, and actually FUNCTIONAL. Finally! I wish I'd found yours first.


FINALLY!!!


I’m disappointed with the support experience. After reaching out multiple times and waiting a reasonable amount of time, I did not receive any response.



When issues come up, timely communication is very important. Even a short acknowledgement would help users know their request has been seen.



Because of the lack of support, I cannot recommend this plugin.


no support
