Отлично

Самые красивые кнопки соц.сетей. Не хватает Яндекс.Коллекций. Ещё лишним кажется Google+ и MySpace.

Good Plugin, but . . .

I like this plugin, but as of April 20, 2020 it hasn’t been updated in 10 months.

Perfect

I couldn’t ask for an easier social plugin. Getting hundreds of referrals from people sharing on Facebook, Reddit, etc. using this plugin over the past several weeks. Great job. Thanks!
