Good plugin but has room for improvement
-
I’ve been using the free version so far and I like the integration and the general functionality very much but the user interface and implementation leaves much room for improvement.
- A user interface that is completely different from the standard WordPress UI is being used which adds a lot of bloat and inconsistency.
- The UI is inconsistent and confusing in itself and doesn’t adapt very well to different viewport sizes
- The composer (own “block editor”) is slow and bloated, too, and works with non-translatable images for block buttons
- As far as I’ve understood you can’t disable default blocks but only add new ones (but I might have missed something)
- There are a few substantial things missing or buggy for which I had to hack the core files to do what I need (for example some default styles that can’t be changed by own settings because they are hard-coded – now I need to remember to be careful when updating the plugin).
I’ve thought about using a different service multiple times but all in all, this is still the only plugin that integrates very tightly with WordPress; that is to say, all free alternatives looked even less ideal than this one, so that’s the one I stuck with. I’m not sure whether I would pay money for the “pro” version, given that it’s basically the same with a few benefits that are unrelated to the above mentioned issues.
