Review:
neo Motion - Florian Krines - Knusper Photography

I received early access to all plugins from the neoWP team. With a single installation I was already done with the setup. As a photographer I have a whole lot of images on my website, so my demands on a media plugin are very high. The neo Plugins offer everything I need for my media in WP. It’s all included: Renamer, Replacer, Optimizer, image editing and more. The topic "media in WordPress" is truly completely covered with this one plugin.

I had access to all neo plugins in the beta test, together in the neoUniverse. I’ve already written my (consistently positive) experiences with the individual plugins in the respective plugin reviews. The concept of packing all neo plugins into a single plugin is pretty clever. In one ecosystem, neoUniverse unites everything you need for media management and optimization in WordPress. Because all plugins come from the same developer team, smooth cooperation between all plugins is ensured.

During the beta test I already had the chance to create some animations. It’s child’s play. There are a variety of ways to control and modify the animations, especially the playback on the frontend. What I especially liked was the integration of scroll and hover animations, which give my website that extra something. For example, I created a graphic that builds itself piece by piece when you scroll to that section. That gives my website additional expressive power.

As part of the beta tester team I was able to extensively test neo Animate in various WordPress environments. neo Animate can't be compared to elaborate animation tools. I just tried it with one of my neoDraw drawings: you only have to choose what should be animated and when, and it looks great right away! The editor is really brilliant. In the frontend the animation plays smoothly and draws attention. Incredible that something like this works directly in WordPress. Thanks for these new possibilities!

I discovered neo Draw while looking for Paint for WordPress and found exactly that. A very intuitive and powerful drawing tool. Unlike Paint, neo Draw has well-chosen color palettes. ;) I particularly like the consistent drawing style with the matching font. The whole design looks very cohesive and well thought out. The integrated icon library includes emojis, a wide selection of icons, and even animated GIFs. You can also add your own images, GIFs, and icons to the drawings. Thanks for the valuable tool!

I had the opportunity to test neo Draw more closely during the development phase. The plugin is super-fast and perfectly integrated into WordPress. Editing the drawings is possible directly in the page builder. The raw data is embedded in the image file and can be easily transferred to another domain by downloading the file. It's amazing that the drawings are still displayed even if the plugin is deactivated. Very nice! Everything is very high quality and reliable. The developer also responds to technical questions immediately. I'm very satisfied.

A software developer from neo WP gave me early access to neo Draw. I actually just wanted to create a few drawings until I realized what’s possible with neo Draw. You can draw anything easily: logos, icons, tables, decorations, ... You can also draw and paint over existing images. With the link function I even drew my own buttons and linked them. Especially brilliant is that everything can be animated with just one click, which looks very impressive.

As a beta tester I was allowed to test neo Optimize extensively. What is very well solved in neo Optimize is that all images and the entire content folder remain untouched. The plugin creates thumbnails in a separate folder and leaves the database 100% unchanged. I have not seen such a solution in any other media optimize plugin so far.

In an early test version neo Optimize completely impressed me. Once activated, everything runs by itself - exactly how you want it. Images are automatically optimized and cached on the first page load without having to worry about anything. I especially like the image quality setting with direct preview of the compressed image. It is simply a thoroughly successful plugin that works reliably and absolutely convinced me. The neoTeam did a great job.

I'm a beta tester of neo Replace. As a photographer I use the plugin for my portfolio site. I often replace existing images with edited versions. Until now that was tedious because I had to replace the images on each page individually. The neo Replace plugin not only replaces the image files for me, it also shows where I've used the images on the website. What's practical is that metadata like alt texts are always preserved. A solid plugin that works smoothly.
