What a joke

I connect my Facebook page, tick all the permissions boxes, and that’s it. Nothing else. Impossible to configure or setup. I’m uninstalling that thing right away.

Just doesn’t work, basically a scam

Let’s make it simple: nothing works. Registration, Q&A, saving something… Just a loss of my time, and now I want my money back.

Why waste other people’s time, having them read through the features of your plugin if you no longer maintain it??
