  • Great time-saving plugin!

    We have installed this plugin on our 400+ agency websites and couldn't be happier. Adding icons is a breeze, and the HTML and shortcode support extends into our theme development process.

  • Doesn't work

    This is the third time I'm leaving this review. Do not remove it. My experience is my experience, and per the FAQs, is well within the guidelines. My experience is that the product does not work as intended.
