WOW – Best support experience so far

That’s the definition of support: fast, competent, personal.
And it’s not just the support that’s great, but also the plugin itself. I use the Pro version and am happy with it.
Great plugin !

Using this for an Allotments Society website I am managing and it’s perfect for updating everyone, rather than having to write up posts each time. Thank you!
Sehr Zufrieden!

Ich bin mit dem Ticker sehr zufreieden.. Einfache Handhabung, grade wenn man keinen Boch auf Programmieren hat. Leider wird mir der Ticker seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr richtig angezeigt. Ich kann den ersten Teil sehen aber ich kann den Ticker nicht bearbeiten, nicht runterscrollen. ich habe bereits andere Browser ausprobiert, dort geht es aber auch nicht. Bitte schnell beheben.
