Reviews
what people actually sayImage Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid is generally appreciated for its attractive mosaic/tile layout and ease of use, but it carries a significant caveat around monetization of the free Lite version and unresponsive support.
What people like
- +Produces visually appealing mosaic/tile gallery layouts×3
- +Easy to set up and use, including via shortcodes×4
Common complaints
- −Free Lite version updates are being withheld/suppressed, with a paid unlock required to receive them (since 3.6.2)
- −No way to fully disable image links/access to full-size images on the server when lightbox is turned off
- −Support requests go unanswered
- −Persistent bug where image titles do not appear on hover on mobile devices, unfixed for over a year
