The ability to work with many different types of custom fields. In addition to this plugin, there is a great third party addon which called ACF Extended that makes Advanced Custom Fields bloom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Data is not stored into a seperate database. Therefor, on very large sites this can become an issue when running queries since the data is stored in the post meta table instead of its own. Though there is another plugin called advanced database tables, that can do solve that in combination with Advanced Custom Fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that you do have to pay for the professional version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Advanced Custom Fields is so easy and simple to use and add custom fields to posts, pages, blocks and more! This has completely changed Wordpress for me and now I love Wordpress. I can build bespoke custom themes and give the user complete full control in editing the content all at a great price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing really to dislike about this plugin. Other than keep more updates coming to the Gutenberg blocks feature - block preview updates would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That I dont need to code to add new fields to posts or pages into a wordpress site. I recently had an issue that was solved using calculation with fields of acf. Also, I do work with properties and listings a lot and ACF makes it easier for that to manage fields for users submit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Documentation with more samples of use is needed, sometimes is quite hard and I need go go stack overflow to get answers on my needs on advanced custom fields. They shoyuld also get prices lower or allow multiple sites when purchasing
Support is only for paid users, they should change this also Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Advanced custom fields has a nice clean interface and website to match and many features. Features include many many field types which are all very customizable And provide a lot of advanced functions to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some areas where advanced custom fields shows shortcomings is the complicated integration process. Advanced customs fields also only works with Wordpress for now so you can’t use it with other platforms. Customer support also could be better, always easier to get a human to chat to right away or over the phone than relying on a forum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you have a basic knowledge of PHP and WordPress templating, ACF is far-and-away the MOST useful plugin that you can add to your site. I install it by default on any new site I'm developing and have deployed it many many many times. I LOVE how they have implemented customization of the Block Editor and I am constantly impressed by how responsive their dev team is to requests, bug fixes, and enhancements. There is no plugin better or more important to the overall WordPress ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it's a pain to figure out which features are Pro and which features are available with the free plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As WordPress provide very basic input field, there are lots of limitations when implementing a solution for demanding users who ask for user friendly input fields. ACF is almost the best field plugin for WordPress which provides a lot of field options for demanding users. In addition, you can customize the back-end form layout which made it more user friendly.

So far, it's one of very few WordPress plugins that fulfill 99.9% of user requirements. It's very hard to tell a dislike item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Best Part about the software is its viability and the performance in collateral data form. The vivid response has been the system actualization in form submission norm. The perpetuated linear response in the line items could be arranged parallely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is no such feature about the software that could be pertained as disadvantageous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This plugin allows you to loop repetitive object on your website, such as carousel, accordion and many more. Since it has a lot of useful features it lessen the plugin that you want to add in your website, because it has a wide range of objects that you can use, more like a 10 in 1 thing. Their documentation on how to use each features is also very useful they already provide that code and a video for demonstration on how to used each features.

While there are a lot of things that you can do with the said plugin, it doesn't have the feature for fonts like fontawesome, ionicons etc... Aside from that the yoast plugin for seo is not able to read the content that you put in the text field or wysiwyg features. The free version of the plugin doesn't includes the ACF Repeater which make the looping possible, so you need to purchase it separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's user friendly for the developer and also for the end user who enters data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing I dislike about this plugin, but it would be great if it offered a visual interface to design custom fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
