Works as it's supposed to; functional

It works as it said it's supposed to with no upselling, obtrusive ads.

Has a clear interface.

No further updates and error prone

This plugin is not getting updates in a year. It also causes the Gutenberg editor to crash. Avoid.

Excellent plugin

The plugin made it super simple to disable some of the blocks that I wanted to be kept away from the general editors to avoid confusion. WOW, it just needed a click and done. Thank you for this amazing work!

Good plugin

Block inserter is so much cleaner now thanks to this plugin

It hides many unnecessary blocks perfectly. I am really grateful to the developer.

Works well!

I love how it's so easy to disable blocks in order to clean up the block inserter a bit - and more importantly, ensure that only relevant blocks are available. Great job Danny!
