Biggest opportunity: Swap “carousel”, “slider” and “slideshow” for “images slider”, “banner slider” and “portfolio slider”. “carousel” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “images slider” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “banner slider” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “slideshow” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “portfolio slider” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 4K of 1.7M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,317 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles6 of the last 10 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

it looks promising, but on my wordpress version (latest as of today) doesn’t render anything when I add the shortcode.

It was easy to use. But you put script inside HTML and before JQ loading. It’s bad think.

Its great
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ setati10.0y ago
Using the free version. Slider starts with Pic1 – waits the appropriate time -> slides to Pic2 – hold .5 sec -> slide to Pic3 – hold about .5sec then ->slide to Pic2 and hold for set time. I have tried different settings, different times, etc. While it is a slider and technically the images do slide…it causes way too much confusion in my audience. Uninstalled.
