Superb
Worked for me and I recommend it.
Misleading – it DOES NOT display FB comments!
What a waste of time! Advertised as displaying Facebook comments. It DOES NOT!!! It only allows someone to enter a comment!!! Why not advertise it as what it does instead of misleading people?
I do not recommend
The comments facebook box just disappeared from my website. The support did not help to resolve the problem.
