Insecure

The plugin works great. But from quite some time we’re getting wordfence saying this is highly vulnerable but we’re not getting any update of plugin from 8 months

Exactly What We Needed – Simple, Effective, and Customisable

Simple, lightweight, and works flawlessly. We styled the shortlist, added a clear button, and integrated it into a form — all without issues. Highly recommended — thanks for a great plugin!
