 * Breaks shop layout and make the layout settings only for paid plan.
    I felt scammed
   by a fake freemium. Furthermore the paid plan is very expensive and billed annually,
   no support under 60$/year…even the support message is a bit proud…

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for the feedback. Please understand that it is not my fault that the theme
   may break as there are thousands of themes and I cant possibly develop for every
   scenario. Also the “layout settings” may not help in some cases and for reason
   like this there is a paid version where I offer my support in fixing it.
 * I dont understand the “fake/freemmium” part but the free version offers all the
   basic needs and more for what the plugin is intended to do, switch the main gallery
   images to represent the variation.
 * PS: It billed annually but you can cancel at any time. The plugin will continue
   to work afterwards (only no more suport or updates after the 1st year).
 * Hope you will give it another shoot. And feel free to contact me.
 * Cheers,
    David

 * [@stanlevy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stanlevy/) This is far from a‘
   fake’ whatever…if it broke your site your template is probably a badly coded 
   template. Themers are supposed to follow standards so plugins like this work 
   with no issues – not the fault of this dev if the themer didn’t follow standard
   coding.
 * The time saved this plugin gives IF you have lots of variations is very much 
   worth the price. If you don’t have lots of variations for a product, then ya,
   it may not be worth the money for the time it saves (but don’t blame the dev 
   for that O_O). It’s bread an butter aspect is IF you have tons and tons of variations
   for a product (even 50+ it’s much better than doing them 1 by 1).
 * I don’t even understand what you’re talking about really…
 * I think the 1 star is very unfair. Probably more of just a troll….
