[I'm sick of it!] - Products that SAY they're responsive, but they're (clearly) NOT! Here r 2......

If these items were originally "in development" for quite a while,
how come it takes me only 20-minutes to figure out that they're
(just plain) BROKEN?

And yet somehow the developers slap a big 'ol "FULLY RESPONSIVE!" badge on it,
and offer it up for sale, with a straight face.

Here are my 2 most recent purchases (in a lonnnng series of purchases)
of products that *incorrectly* claim they are responsive.

1) "LocalBox" WP theme, by Sean Lowery.
4/5 of what the theme offers, is the prominent SLIDER.
Theme CLAIMS to be responsive.
PROBLEM: The slider is NOT responsive.

So... the sites produced using this theme, look like crap on mobile phones.

(Therefore) - BOTTOM LINE: Product is unusable.

2) Instabuilder (yup - THAT Instabuilder)
PROBLEM: At least two major "elements" that can be
added to sites using this "builder" (it's a plugin),
are NOT responsive...

Photos/images added using the drag + drop "image" element,
are NOT responsive (!!!). Plugin DOES "shrink" pics properly left to right,
but does NOT shrink pics TOP to BOTTOM (warps/distorts pics,
and does not maintain aspect ratio - when viewed on mobile device.

Also, when "nav" element is used (strip of clickable menu items), that's
NOT responsive either. Does NOT (as it should) turn the menu into
the familiar 3-4 line icon that then turns into a drop down menu.
Instead, all the plugin does is the *wrap the menu around* so it does NOT
look right (turns into TWO LINES of "scrunched up" menu items, not even centered) when viewed on mobile device.

(Therefore) - BOTTOM LINE: Product is unusable.

_________________________

My overall point is, how can these and other products CLAIM to be "responsive,"
when it is crystal clear, in very basic ways, they are just plain
NOT responsive!

Who do they think they are kidding?

You know what responsive means, I know what responsive means. So how come
these product creators are hoping we won't notice that their CLAIMS of responsiveness,
are FAULTY + BOGUS?
