AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Animate In View is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Animate In View works
Show full descriptionShow less
Using a fast, simple, native technique, the Animate In View block will watch over inner blocks you add within it and when they come into the user’s view, it will simply fade and optionally slide in.
Trigger simple, smooth, modern animations as the content enters the screen.

Change the class name used to add your own custom animations.
General Tips & Tricks
You can wrap the currently selected block with an Animate In View block by pressing the icon toward the end of the toolbar.
You may need to place the block within a group block to ensure content styling is consistent. Some themes may require a group block be at the top level. Alternatively, the Animate In View block has alignment controls enabled just in case.
You may need to tweak things if your layouts have custom classes or styles applied. Try copy/pasting the classes, or try to nest the blocks in a way that doesn’t affect the theme styling.
Nest blocks to stagger animations. The animations won’t start until all are in view, then one by one. But make sure you don’t use an area too large for the viewport.
The Animate In View block comes with a single nested group block by default, but you may use others as well.
Use the list view to drag and drop blocks into the Animate In View block.
