Sometimes it takes me a solid 30-40 seconds to simply move a slide to another position \u2013 just one example of many things that should be quick and easy, but take FOREVER. I love being able to create web stories in this easy format (4-5 stars for that), but the user experience makes it extremely painful (2 stars for the slowness). I am sure I could create these 2 \u2013 3x as fast if it weren\u2019t for how glitchy the plugin is. <\/p>\n<p>All that said, I\u2019m continuing to use it as I don\u2019t know of a better alternative, and I would absolutely LOVE to update this to a 5 star review eventually if they can streamline and speed things up (significantly). <\/p>\n<p>Please, Google.
