Good plugin, but the previous version was better
by wp-yeyo·5 years ago

Good plugin! It comes very well to complement it with other PWA plugins, since all of them do not allow you to put call to actions in IOS or Android.

The only thing that since the last update of the plugin (1.8) no longer allows you to put the message on a particular page, now only allows you to put it on the home page or all pages. It would be advisable that in some update you put it again, since I had to install the previous version to put the call to action in a particular page

Greetings and be like that! Good work!
