Great App and Great Customer Support
By ReneeRox on September 11, 2025
I had issues getting the app to work on my site and reached out to support for assistance. They helped me troubleshoot until we got it working. Now that it's working, it's so beautiful! I've abandoned all my other Flickr apps for this one.
Great Support

Great plugin with great support

We have been using this plugin for years with no issues. It suddenly stopped working. Support found the problem (it was a JQuery theme setting) and fixed it right away. I recommend this plugin!
Doesn't work as expected
By josantodomingo on June 6, 2024
The plugin does not work as expected. The styles of the the thumbnail images are not responsive, which makes them look different on browsers with different screen resolutions. I proceed to uninstall the plugin and please refund the amount paid. Thank you.
