Responsiveness: It is responsive.

Ease of use: It was very easy to use but it took forever to figure out how to get it to show on the post.

This gallery has potential I really like the slideshow option. After I figured out how to put the gallery into the post. I discovered I really like the gallery.

Because I could not figure out how to add the  gallery into the post I had nothing to screenshot. Therefore, I just took a screenshot of the settings this gallery offered.

Modula

Functionality: It is easy to create a gallery and is very functional. It includes a code that can be copied and pasted into any post. However, many features are only for pro. 

Look: It’s only alright. The layout doesn’t look that good because it cuts part of the photo off, which could potentially be an issue. There were different layouts to choose from but the majority of them were for the pro version. 

Options: There are many options and features to choose from however, many of them are for pro which requires payment. Therefore, I did not have much selection.
