Simple, fast, intuitive.

Hello
Your plugin is simple, fast, intuitive.
I thought the plugin does not work, because I have turned off alerts for users.
Rather to my surprise I saw appear the message done with your plugin.
Fantastic.
Thank you
GREAT ! – BON !

Good plugin!
But too simple.
Suggestion: Add more options for the message text editing mode.

Very nice plugin, works as described.
I run it along the other plugin of same author “WP Admin UI Customize” and works very nicely for Subscribers roles.
Thanks for your work!

Thank you for your great plugin! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. I love how simple and easy it is to use 😀
It’s a great way to display an announcement on the Dashboard, where your site users will see it when they are logged in. With this plugin, you no longer have to send out an important announcement, update information or message to your site users by email 🙂
Thanks again and keep up the great work!
