    Horrible, not intuitive. Money wasted.

      You should learn the tool thoroughly before rage reviewing. The documentation provides everything to learn how to use the tool beyond first impressions.

    Plugins are meant to make work simpler, not more complex

    Not user friendly at all. This addon is not intuitive at all even for an experimented Blender user like myself.

      Hi Jevpro. If you had some trouble using it, you could have contacted me first. Most of the doubts are solved by checking the Documentation. Since this is an addon targeted at alignments with very specific configurations, it is most useful when used that way.

    Instead of speeding up my workflow this addon is slowing me down. I just want to align objects quickly, but this addon is too complicated and counterintuitive. Too bad.

      Pro Align Tools is not like other addons. It was designed with flexibility in mind, not necessarily speed (applied when possible however).
      There's an extra step added: The Alignment Plane. You can control and preview this plane 'before' the alignment takes place. This of course has the side effect of slowing down the general process a little bit, but you gain a lot more in flexibility and alignment configurations. By previewing the alignment you can make all the adjustments needed before applying the operator, and then perform the operation just once, whereas in operator based addons with lots of panels, you have to click buttons and undo the whole operation if the result is not what you were looking for. There's a lot of trial and error with that last paradigm.
      The addon also comes with three main selection modes which you shouldn't confuse together when learning:
      - Auto-Align. The default mode, selects Plane, Origin, and Side of alignment in one click.
      - Plane selection mode
      - Origin selection mode
      To master these modes and the available shortcuts, check the included Documentation.

    I haven't been able to use this addon as it doesn't obey UI scaling. The gizmo is not very useful this way and seems like this is complicating what would otherwise be an easy task. I'll update my review if/when the author updates the addon.

      Hi Xen,
      In the recent version 2.1.4, HiDPI support have been added, scaling the UI elements according to your OS configuration and the Resolution Scale in Blender Preferences.
      Just go to your downloads and you should find the new version available.
      Cheers!

    Too be honest, the product didn't help, rather it is quite complicated that it need its own tutorial, the gizmo is such a mess, its everywhere. the vertex snap tools from blender 2.8x is way more intuitive. and please don't over simplified the process when you promoting your add on, click this select this and done, but in reality its just much more complicated.

    Align by faces was the FREE addon in 2.79 that I needed a 2.8x replacement. A common need in modeling is to define and save an arbitrary plane, and then easily move rotate and snap to that plane ( Form-Z on Mac and Alias PowerModeling on SGI had this 25 years ago ). I paid the 9 dollars and unless I'm mistaken, this isn't it.
