I used the Free version and it allows you to add up to 5 “marquees” or text sections. It automatically puts the marquee at the very top of your pages (use Astra Pro theme). No way to add “marquees” more then the 5 provided. No descenders on lettes like Y P etc so doesn’t look professional.
Contacted developer after I bought the Pro and found it adds another Plugin. Developer said both are not needed but can’t figure out how to make the Pro work.
This plugin (free) has great potential – got a answer that basically said the plug in is great and upgrade to Pro.
Latter the developer sent another email with helpful information. https://youtu.be/p_K5x5r0wyU
I use Astra Pro as a theme and I couldn’t get the Pro version of the Marquee product to work at all and the free didn’t have descenders on letters like Y & P so I didn’t use it either.

What a wonderfull and easy to use plugin. it’s very lightweight and works very well.
Options I would add if possible:* option to change the round bullet to something else* option to remove round bullet* option to add spacing between text1, text2, text3,…* option to slide text1 from left then text2 from right and so on* option to add text flicker for text1 and text2…
