I was a little annoyed that I had to go to a separate interface to edit my sliders, but ok put an annoying menu item up super high I guess. Then I realized that none of my styles were carrying through to the page. As a hack I had to copy paste the block used in the slider and hide it on the page just so the CSS would load. Then it turns out it wasn't responsive, no matter how many CSS hacks I tried I couldn't get a two column layout to stack. Simple stuff that Gutenslider does inline on the page without issue.

The free plug descripiton here is highly misleading. It promotes all the pro features as if they are included. They are not. I like that the UI and the way you add sliders/slides is easy but the misleading nature of the description makes me want to use something else.

Works well and generous free tier - thanks. Some Gutenberg editor glitches though with the way multiple slides work.

The free version has absolutely ZERO of the features shown on the plugin's description in WP depository. You cannot use it directly in block editor, you cannot use media as a background, you cannot control the height of the slider - NOTHING! You can do two things (but NOT directly in Gutenberg editor) Create a slider with a solid color background Create a slider with photos, but you cannot put any blocks on top, so all you get is a photo gallery. Even then, you can't control the height or other essential elements. They should not be allowed to show these features or the screenshots on their WP plugin page. It's a total lie.

Very impressed with this little slider block, if you're using the Block editor this will make a good addition to your site. Nice, complete and modern controls. If you only need to slide one thing at a time (think mastheads or hero images) then the free version works really great. If you want to slide more than one thing then you might want to consider PRO. Don't listen to the one-star reviews - give it a try.
