Great Support After Update Caused Display Issue
By 
I was beyond impressed with the support received from Himanshu on the Cool Plugins team over the past week or so after a recent plugin update caused issue with our front end display of advanced Font Awesome icon styling. The issue was sorted out promptly and we're looking fly again! Thanks, Himanshu.
Displays differ in different browsers
By 
I found the plugin easy to use and all is perfect viewing in Chrome, however, in Safari and Firefox the sizes of the flip box are different. I have been unable to access any support from the creators and if this issue can be resolved I would be delighted to upgrade my review to 5 stars as actually I love the plugin
Great Plugin
