AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Flash Gallery is a mixed-rating 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.
Pros
- +Published by ulfben — established developer track record
Cons
- −Average rating below 4.0 (2.5★) — read recent low-star reviews before committing
- −Limited review base (2) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

How Flash Gallery works
Show full descriptionShow less
The Flash Gallery plugin lets you turn your ordinary galleries into awesome image walls, with support for multiple albums per post, full screen viewing and slideshows.
It is especially usefull for when you have lots of images in a post, or want to present images sorted into separate albums.
Here’s an example with 175 images.
I use the Flash Gallery primarily to controll the height of my posts. Whenever there would be more than 4 rows of thumbnails I replace the ordinary [gallery] with a [flashgallery]. You can browse through the archives here to see how that works.
If you value my plugins, please help me out by Flattr-ing them! Or perhaps send me a book? Used ones are fine! 🙂
