I was looking for a simple photo gallery with thumbnails on the left side with the main picture on the right side. This extension make the job perfectly!
Even with "mouse over" function. Wonderfull!
I however would have suggestions. Why not also implement :
- Download image possibility
- Mouse over thumbs customization
- slide show on demand.
It would be perfect then (on my opinion ;-) ).
Anyway, a Big thanks to the developper. Well done!

Have been using this extension for the first time, before always used SIGE, but wanted to try something else. Very simple in use and works well. But - doesn't look so well with both vertical and horizontal images. Especially non-cropped thumbnails. When you crop vertical thumbnails, which are usually portraits, they get cropped in the middle and that always cuts people's faces off. Nor here, nor in SIGE there is no simple option to crop the top part of the image for the thumbnail.
I also usually prepare images myself, so don't need them to be scaled. Here there is no simple option to leave images unscaled - you have to choose 100% quality and set the vertical size to the size of the images + several pixels, since the gallery adds the border to the images. For example if you have an image size 800x600 px, you'd need to set gallery width to 810 and max. height to 608, then it seems it leaves the original quality of the image.

I just wanted to have some thumbnails and option for my members to click to see the larger image.
I tried some of the more sophisticated, and complex, options.
Then I realised that this is what I really needed - simple yet effective - and very very easy to set up.
It is an extension I can use in any article with so little effort and time.
I suggest that, unless you really must have light boxes and fancy transitions, this is for you.

I´m new to joomla and know nothing about programming, but this extension was so easy to install and useful that anyone can handle without expertise. Simply wonderful! thanks.
Very Simple Image Gallery.
Als Joomla-Anfänger ist es sehr einfach das Plugin zu laden, die Galerie ein zu binden und zu konfigurieren. Dennoch ist das Ergebniss für meine Zwecke nicht "Very Simple" sondern exellent. Nicht überladen, so das das Betrachten der Bilder Spass macht. Danke auch für die deutsche Beschreibung. Macht das ganze noch einfacher.

After trying to get a simple gallery out of Phoca Gallery (love your other products but not this one) I came looking for a simple attractive gallery. This is it!
Does exactly what it says. Simple to operate. I liked it so much I downloaded their Simple Picture Slide Show as well.
Thank you so much! Alison

I was having trouble finding what I needed, and was actually working with another extension. I could not get the parameters to work for me, so I sent an email to support explaining what I needed. I received a quick reply very simply stating that Very Simple image Gallery could meet my needs.
I am now able to have my main image on the left with a single row of thumbnails to the right.
Awesome extension. worked right out of the box.
two thumbs up from me.

Just as the name suggests, this plugin is Very Simple to use. It installed easily and worked immediately. It also has a lot of very nice "advanced" features that make it easy to customize if you want to get less simple. I am very pleased with this plugin and will be making extensive use of it on my Joomla site.
I needed a clean and simple gallery for my own portfolio, i didn't need an eye candy gallery with lots of effects and long load times, drawing the attention and time from my work,i needed a gallery so my work it's more important than the gallery itself. And that's why it's perfect this little and "very simple" gallery. Great!
