The interface is intuitive and this has the potential to be a great plugin, but it’s so incredibly slow and buggy. Sometimes it takes me a solid 30-40 seconds to simply move a slide to another position – just one example of many things that should be quick and easy, but take FOREVER. I love being able to create web stories in this easy format (4-5 stars for that), but the user experience makes it extremely painful (2 stars for the slowness). I am sure I could create these 2 – 3x as fast if it weren’t for how glitchy the plugin is.
All that said, I’m continuing to use it as I don’t know of a better alternative, and I would absolutely LOVE to update this to a 5 star review eventually if they can streamline and speed things up (significantly).
Please, Google. Help us out.

I created story for an hour because I used it for the first time. I was excited to publish it but after I publish, I see the story for the first time however, when I share it to someone the link display code and no story created. After I refresh, the story is empty that looks like I need to create it again, however, I’m tired so I just uninstall it.

When website visitors click on any story, they see a black screen,n but when they refresh or open the story as a new tab, all is ok. I asked everywhere, researched the topic, and found no helpful answers.
My website’s page where Web Stories are embeded buounce-rate skyrocketed.
