All is well
Appreciate response from customer service. I should be more patient. I do like the service. This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by beckymash.
Sadly it’s not up to par with the service
The service is great but the plugin to use it in WordPress is TERRIBLE.Don’t know why this huge nonsense, is not loading at all, so is totally useless to have a plugin instead of a simple code to put
Just give me 1 line off code, not a plugin!
Forced too use a plugin? Why? I am not getting more stats. But you are.I need 1 line of code, not a entire plugin. Moving over to Google Analytics, bye! BTW; stop writing fake positive reviews, no

Very Helpful
Koko Analytics gives an easy to grasp overview of the visits to your website and allows you to do the kind of analytics many website owners need.
Effective
Good and very useful. The live reports are my fav about it.
Just works, good for privacy and no need for google analytics
I use this plugin on my small local community site even though I am familiar with Google Analytics. No hassle of setting up Google Analytics, or intergrating analytics in WP. You can just see the most
