Not sure why all the negative reviews, this is a killer mod. Have used it on loads of production sites and works perfectly, with a bit of css knowledge you can even make it match your sites. Seemed quite easy to setup.
The support in the forums is quite good, much better than the below reviews make out.
Give it a try.

I cannot speak to the other problems people have had; I installed this without any problems and I am very pleased. The cost is minimal and includes a host of other components and templates. This is easily well-worth the money.

This is so versatile. I use it primarily for slideshows and rotating flash style header images. It is versatile, easy to setup and control and far exceeds others trying to do the same thing. I am a very happy customer.

Came across YooTheme's carousel module and thought this was just the tool I needed. It didn't even bother me that it was a commercial module for they offer a lot modules and themes for a modest price.
This module looks stellar on their demo site and I have spent countless hours trying to get it to work in Joomla v 1.5.4 and haven't had any luck in seeing it in action on my site.
YooTheme's website also provides a short video tutorial and followed it correctly and still no positive results.
Even more frustrating is that most of their other plugins and modules seem to work right after the install, but this one has been more of a headache then anything else.
Also tried to install their theme with this module and demo content in place and that had problems.
This review isn't to tell you to not try it out, though I wish you luck for it wasn't an install and play experience for me like most other modules.
On a final note when selling a commercial module the buyer expects it to work once they have paid for it. This one does not and needs to go back into some sort of beta for a re-release when the kinks are ironed out.

This is truly a horrible product, and a horrible company to do business with.
I spent $59USD for a Silver license to download a single module (the carousel). There aren't any decent guides to setup the module in working order (their instructional videos are incomplete), there aren't enough advanced users on the forum to provide support to novice users, and you'd be lucky if you could get any type of response from the site owners.
Unless you're a highly advanced developer and you have a lot of disposable time, this is most definitely a site to stay away from.

On the surface it could be the best tabs, article management module out there. However, with so many issues, and support seemingly non-existent for this module...its definitely buyer beware at this time. Its a shame, but perhaps they will get there act together. If that ever changes, and the numerous support requests are answered and solved...then I will gladly revise this review.

Very nice component. Easy to customize and great support via the member pages at Yootheme.
I used it on a lot of sites, and it has a good whauu effect on any webpage :-)

I'm a big fan of the YOOcarousel, too! I use it for making slideshows of images quite often. It's easy as pie. You create a content category and load it in the YOOcarousel module. In the articles of that category you just place an image each... done! Who wouldn't love easy to use modules =)

This is an excellent Module, easy to install, and lots of configuration options.
I use it for displaying 'Latest News', 'Latest Images', 'Search Cloud' and 'Most Popular' articles. None of these things come with the Carousel. Instead it just gives you the means of displaying any other module or text in a really attractive manor.
There are several preconfigured styles and the css are easy to edit. Over all a quality extension that I would definitely recommend.
