I got this up and running in no time and it works beautifully. The supporting documentation was especially helpful and so nice to see on an extension that is free!



Thank you so much!

Really good!

Does most of the things you expect from a professional image gallery - but completely for free!



Just some suggestions: Top of the cream would be AJAX-editing, a more user friendly backend-design and maybe some default settings you can choose from or the possibility to save an own default setting (so your don't have to walk through all the tabs to change everything to reach your desired gallery-layout).

Perfect

Easy to configure, a span of options from displaying a complicated gallery to a simple one. Bravo!

AWESOME

I haven't even finished working with it and I like it, auto installation of the optional plugins and a large list to select from....I have made MANY Joomla sites and just starting doing photo albums for some clients...You guys are amazing, Thanks!!!

Not great

Was good untill I ran into a problem.I requested help several times from the team and heard NOTHING back. Very, very poor.
Without a doubt, this is the best Joomla Image Gallery component there is.



I have tried them all over the last 5 years looking for something that has the functionality of standalone gallerys like Coppermine or Menalto Gallery 2 or 3.



There are some improvements I would like to see: especially a way to batch add/edit image meta titles and meta descriptions. (Not enough to lose a point though)



Well done Dev team!

5 stars

Hands down the BEST gallery component. Been using it for years and it gets only better.
I searched a lot and finally found this! It's very good for collections of photos. Only one thing I don't like: there's an on hover info red box appearing over slideshow navigation... I cannot hide it!!! :-(

Cool gallery

I'm a joomla newbie, but install and setup was easy. Need to fill it with images now :-)

Great and powerful
