****Quick Review****

****Quick Review****

I've only been playing with it for about 20 minutes, but here are my findings so far.

Install
The script installed with ease. Activation was as simple as inputting the registrant's name and email address.

Use
It couldn't be simpler to use. The Gallery Magic button is easily found in the formatting menu at the top of the WordPress editor. I used both the button and copy/paste of the shortcode as methods of generating the post. The results were the same as if I had dragged and dropped into WordPress.

Performance
The script was quick to fetch the images from the FHG's. Of course, the speed will depend on the connection between your server and the other host's. Most galleries were fetched within 2-3 seconds, including thumbnail processing times.

Issues
Only one program's galleries wouldn't import. NastyDollars.com's galleries would only import the first image, but that could be some form of protection on their end, a communication issue, or something else.

Remember that the images have to be DIRECTLY linked, so no images from galleries that embed the images in attachment pages. That also means no pulling galleries from affiliate hosts like LinkBucks, ImageFap, or similar free hosts (how about an anti-container add-on???).

Improvements
I would love to see an anti-container add-on, like that of DownThemAll or Bulk Image Downloader, as either a free or paid add-on.

Perhaps an option to keep it from posting if no images are found or scraped, to prevent empty galleries.

Final Thoughts
The script did exactly what it said it would. Installation through first completed gallery took about 60-90 seconds. Success rate (other than NastyDollars) was 100% when images were linked directly.

It's definitely worth the $30, if you're looking to use FHG content on your site, while still having unique pages.

Note
This IS NOT a compensated review. I am a CyberSEO user and have been for years, but that in NO WAY influenced this review. It did however influence my decision to buy this script, as I've had very good luck generating sites/traffic with CyberSEO.
