Users appreciate the WordPress plugin for its simplicity, functionality, and ease of use, particularly in creating efficient slideshows and adding HTML links and buttons. However, it has significant drawbacks. Notably, it conflicts with sites or themes that rely on the jQuery Bootstrap library, often necessitating disabling Bootstrap's JavaScript and causing additional issues. The plugin's handling of images is also problematic, with inconsistent sizing even when using the "constrain" option, forcing manual cropping. User interface challenges include the non-intuitive process of tagging photos and managing slides. Despite these issues, when it works, it offers nice templates and is user-friendly, earning praise for efficient slideshow creation and promotion.
