I've only used twice so far but really enjoy using it. The first time was with photos already in my media library, the second with a direct upload.

The flexibility is great and being able to quickly scroll through and edit photos is very useful.

Multiple plugins for the Pro version is a bit of pain but not the end of the world!

I've also learnt the need to keep captions really short with the thumbnail hover effect. I did wonder if a way to make the font smaller or responsive but really just a case of character-length discipline when adding captions.

All in all, a very useful bit of kit for anyone wishing to showcase their photos.
