Not usable
by Barry·2 years ago·1 reply

Plugin would not work consistently on our site. Spent months going back and forth with support, who were not helpful, and eventually abandoned this for another plugin (Easy Social Share) which works fine.

Really good.
by Magnus Andreasson·6 years ago

Finally, after I tried about 10 plugins I found one that works.

Terrible support
by Fonda61·6 years ago

I have migrated the plugin (paid version) from my old website where it was working fine, to a new website using a theme leveraging Elementor. The plugin did not work at all in this environment and I have contacted Support.
They do not respond in 24 hours as announced, I had to send a reminder, but this is not the most important. I was asked to communicate login and ftp codes which I did. As a result they inactivated all plugins, changed the theme to a standard one, and left it like that without a word of explanation. I don’t even know if they investigated or not. After that I had to fix the entire config, nothing was broken but it took me a while.
I have now uninstalled the plugin which seems to have major compatibility issues with Elementor anyway and I don’t want to hear about it any more.

Great plugin
