I tried logging in with my facebook, saw that this account wasnt connected to Heatmap. No worries, ill just log out and relog with the correct accoun-…..
“Hello G[name],

We are pleased that you like heatmap and want more user accounts 🙂 please upgrade!”
Ok??!!! HOW do I log OUT? I can’t.
So now I can never use heatmap for some reason because it think im another person, while I just want to log OUT. But I cannot anywhere find a button to log out from it….useless until this is fixed
Had its use, then it failed…

This was my favorite heatmap tool because it shows the CTR along with the heatmap spots, which is very useful data for me to have…
However, recently the reported CTR on my pages has gone way down, with no logical explanation other than a change/bug in this heatmap plugin…
I emailed support about this and they did not care to reply, which makes me think twice of ever becoming a paying customer. Speaking of which, their only paid plan is $100… For a freaking heatmap tool. I mean cmon, really?
It feels like pricing is completely out of touch with reality. And I would happily pay for it if pricing was reasonable, and the reported CTR was actually accurate, and support cared to actually support their product.
I really liked the tool. Would have given it 4 stars previously (5 stars if pricing was reasonable, so I could actually afford a paid plan). But since it’s not giving me accurate data anymore now, and no reply from support, that’s 2 stars now. Not 1 star because it had good past use for me.
Just a waste of time, ever works.

The plugins only insist you buy it, not free.
No Heatmap Tag found?
by kybalion·7 years ago·1 reply
Installed plugin for wordpress, says ACTIVE, clicked Heatmap web pages and popup says No Heatmap Tag Found’ added code manually into page headers, still no show.
Such a shame, I couldn’t get it to work, I had high hopes, why such a basic fault, same issue as Ecabral commented on 5 months ago! Maybe they have abandoned it? tho it says updated 2 weeks ago, confused!
Off to try Mouseflow or Smartlook
Love it!
