This is the component which should be part of any Joomla installation by default. The CSS are easy to edit and the multiple configurations make it incredibly versatile. Great work!

An absolute gem!

This module is a true gem.

If you are looking for a flexible and stylish module that can display your content-artciles in an eye catching manner then

this is the module you are looking for.

If you are a webdeveloper then this module is a must. Things like these should be standard in Joomla.

Yes, it costs money, but those few dollars pay their value in full and more,

I was browing the extensions looking for different modules to suit my needs for popular items, latest items etc. and then I came across this module. The descrription seemed very promising, and it wasn't too expensive, so I decided to give it a go, thinking that even if it could provide half of the advertised then it would be a decent buy.

But this is way more than just a decent buy. It is simpyl amazing.

It is a well thought out, well structure and beautifully desgined module that can give eye-catching life to your site.

It fully delivers all the promised features and is capabable of much more than that.

It is evident that the designers paid a lot attention to customers with little or no programming skills. The module itself is beautifully designed with three stylish and clear layout-styles, and if they don't suit your needs then they have even provided additional templates.

If you still need editing for the layout, but you don't have the programming skills then the developers have written tutorials for you on the forums. All in an easy to understand step-by-step guide.

If you have a fair amount of css-knowledge then you will be delighted to see that the coding is well thought out and well structured. It is very easy to edit, and making new layouts is straight-forward (they provide tutorials). With a little css-skill then this module will make your site really eye-catching.

It even integrates and works perfectly with other extensions such as tabber and slider.

And if you can't figure the editing out, then just ask in their support-forum. Their support is friendly and quick and they provide help on all sorts of levels. They even take a look at your website to solve your issues.

I was even given assistance with some custom php-coding I needed in the module! That's good customer care, and deserves a review.

And why does this module only show in this category here? It deserves representation in all areas where it can be used (and they are many).

I do wish the develeopers of this module would make other as well thought out extensions as well.....

Amazing

I was looking for a component that would allow a better display of the site content - more of a magazine style and I'm so glad I found this! The display is awesome and there are many options. I love the "random" option best. Every time the page is reloaded, the article are different. This is great for site with content across many different categories.

Also, I had a question and submitted it to the forum and they responded right away.

If you are looking to jazz up the content of your site, you will not be disappointed. BTW, the price is very reasonable as well. :-)

Great job!

Very simple and clear, optimuzed and really well done module

Some days ago I bought this module. Then I started to customize it for my websites.

Everything is very simple and clear - CSS styles, php output files. I configured it for a half hour with minimal knowlegde of PHP. Styles are devided to several folders, for each type of output.

Great module!

Added more value to my site than anything here

I have been using RAXO for 6 months now, replacing iJoomla's "News Portal". This module is cleaner, light-weight, and so flexible! My users have commented on how great the new front page looks, and I am seeing an increase in traffic and a lower bounce rate. All in all, bucks $25 you can spend.

The best news module

This is in top-5 of the better components for joomla and necessary for professional portals or other news pages. Easy to install, flexible and cheap... What else to ask?

My favorite news module

Of all the news modules I've tried, All-mode Pro still stands as the best I've used. The additional templates makes it even better and more versatile. I highly recommend it as a less-expensive alternative to creating news portal or magazine-style front pages.

Wow, wow, wow! Beyond any expectations!

I can't believe how fantastic this component is!! Super configurable, doesn't slow down my site, flawless, no errors.

I bought (cheap) all of their professional templates and am very happy.

Thanks to the developers for such high quality work!

This component should be listed in a few more categories so that others don't miss it. It has multiple uses.
