  • Great plugin with amazing support!

    A really clean, useful feedback/feature request plugin that works great out of the box and has many options to customize. After testing it I immediately got the premium version - definitely worth it if only for the guest voting functionality. I'm very happy with the plugin so far, and my customers like having a feedback system. Absolutely recommended plugin. Support is great, a developer that really listens and helps with everything. Keep up the great work!

  • Has potential

    I like the idea and its features. UX/UI still needs some work imho.
