Biggest opportunity: Add “synced patterns”, “blocks patterns” and “block pattern” to your wp.org tags. You rank #10, #11 and #12 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 382.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,580 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks 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 23 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.

What to do about it
- Add “synced patterns”, “blocks patterns” and “block pattern” to your wp.org tags. You rank #10, #11 and #12 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ danidada1.0y ago
I like to use this plugin because it’s lightweight, doesn’t add too much (like templates, patterns…) and has some really nice features that are almost required if you want to build a good theme. The support is very fast and consistent …for a free plugin it is not so many common. I hope it will keep its minimal approach!

This plugin has completely changed the way I build with Gutenberg, adding loads of super features and effects. It is also light weight and easily configurable, and help and support is briliant-with all issues solved quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended!!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ longriverwp1.3y ago
Premium Blocks for Gutenberg has been a game-changer for our site. It was incredibly simple to use straight out of the box and instantly gave us access to a wide range of enhanced blocks that massively expand what Gutenberg can do. The added functionality has helped us build pages faster and with more flexibility than ever before. But what really sets this plugin apart is the support – genuinely some of the best I’ve ever come across. The team is responsive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they clearly care about their users. Highly recommended to anyone using Gutenberg. This plugin will elevate your editing experience, and you’ll be in great hands with the support team behind it.

Zero support on this plugin simply became useless as it just breaks the blocks & you cant update them or recover the data. If your plugin doesn’t work or you don’t offer support please remove it from the WP plugin list. Avoid at all costs.. This topic was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by sipdesign.

Overall, this it is a good tool with some nice features. At times it behaves a little flaky and seems to conflict with the basic gutenberg elements. These little challenges are made up for by relatively good support. So its not perfect but its very good – four stars.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ carolinaa2.8y ago
I’m giving 5 stars because of the effort I can see in this plugin, however, the plugin still missing more features like templates or patterns but I believe that you will provide this feature in the near future and I’m thrilled to see it in your plugin. What I can say is, keep going guys, you are doing a very good job and I’m awaiting more and more from you!

I’m liking this blocks more and more!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ noahstad3.1y ago
Basically what the title says. I’m using the Blockskit Theme and the premium Blocks look really good! But every page I am using them on loads infinitely on every browser. So it would be nice, but not usable for me.
