Was searching for something eye-catching to put on the homepage of my site. This module looks great and is easy to use, I immediately knew that this was a keeper.
I've seen multiple bad reviews concerning bad support. However when I opened a support ticket, I got my question answered in about a week. This is great support for a free module in my opinion.

I've been searching for days to find an article slide show and this one does the job. So many don't seem to and I don't know how they produce their demos, but this one produces exactly what they demonstrate. I've also learned a lot about Joomla from it.
Thanks to the authors.

The extension is good, works nice for a lot of sites and articles. Easy to install and setup.
The proble is the support, is zero.

This could be a superb extension, if only the developer would answer the many many questions on the support forum all about the same issue (even if he only said he didn't know the answer would be better than no response at all). At present when you attempt to open an article from the slideshow it puts the article underneath the slideshow instead of opening it on a new page as you would expect. Until this is resoled it is completely unusable.
This module is simple to use, and to customize if you're an advanced user. I like that it offers the features of some commercial modules for free. And also ease of use is very important, with it I thought my client to use it in a matter of minutes.
I must say that I cannot agree with the previous comment as I found the module very intuitive and had absolutely no problems setting it up. It is very flexible in terms of what options are available and I would recommend it to anyone needing to display content in this manner.
I have hit one problem and that is with a Responsive template where the module doesn't reduce gracefully but I would be surprised if this issue isn't resolved very soon.

Do NOT install if you want it to work more specifically so that it meets your exact needs. Or if you don't know how to use article id's.
The extension looks fanky but the developer has made NO documentation on how to make this work and you have to find it out yourself. Yes, even though that he CLAIMS there is documentation, in reality there is NO documentation. I personally lost 3 hours looking everywhere. And don't consider asking the developer, he doesn't even reply to customers with PAID versions or in forums.
He (or they) works hard for making many many plugins but there is no real care for his customers. Compare a super-duper documentation such as the Akeeba Backup with this non-existent trash.
Dev, I 'm sorry for the hard critic, but someone should shout truth about Joomla's sake.

Works as intended, though there are still some bugs with current version (e.g. when using custom class name).
Customization and usage are excellent!

I like the way this module works, but i have several errors in IE. I posted to the landofcoder forum where it says "I'll answer you in 24h", but never got a response. It has been four weeks now.
I like the way this module works, but when I clicked on the image in the home page slideshow, I couldn't get it to open the article on a new page WITHOUT the slideshow at the top. I posted to the landofcoder forum where it says "I'll answer you in 24h", but never got a response. It has been two weeks now.
This is my first review, and this module is is just great!!! Changed my site interface in seconds
I have used this module on numerous websites, and it has never let me down. It is easy to customize, and really adds some zing to my sites. I would HIGHLY recommend this module - I have tried many that TRY to be as good as this one, and fail. The ONLY suggestion I have for it - is to allow the navigation to appear horizontal at the bottom of the main image...or top for that matter.
I do not write reviews very often, but in this case, it was truly warranted.
After trying 5 different content sliders which all promised but failed to deliver, I found your extension.
Installation was easy and the configuration options gave me exactly the results I wanted for the health and fitness website I am building.
Thank you very much for your work. I recommend this extension to anyone who needs a simple and elegant way to display their content.

There are so many article sliders that it's really difficult to pick THE one. Some can do the coin slider, others are more like tabs while others only rotate through images without much chance of tweaking it.
Well, I chose this module because I could make many of the customizations through the parameters and only styling was needed to be done in the code, which you can do by creating a custom theme (just copy an existing one and make a couple adjustments) or simply create a custom stylesheet that'll override the default CSS.
Truly superb extension.

This is the free version of the module and i used it to get me started - works great! I ended up buying a subscription to get all of the extensions. To purchase them is really cheap. I have to agree with the early post that documentation is sparse and the website of Land of Coder can be difficult to navigate. But IMHO it is well worth it! I will be posting comments later on Land of Coder on how to easily customize some of the extensions as i couldn't find any help on it but was able to figure it out
