It's a SaaS Wrapper, Not Plugin.
Meh.

Awesome plugin and service
It was very easy to install the plugin and embed the petition in one custom page. Support was very proactive in making recommendation on how to improve user experience in the page. Highly recommended

Not a local plugin
I went to try this out, the first thing I see is it wants a agreement to their site terms. From what I saw this doesn't look like a plugin that runs locally and uses your own server and resources.

It corresponds to my expectation
This Wordpress extension meets my expectations.Although there's no way to automatically display one or all signatures and their comments on a WordPress page or post via the Civist plugin, I can extract them in CSV format for later use.On reflection, I find this even better, as I can select the results I want to display.This is a petition, not a survey.Also what is really appreciated is the support who is verry reactive.

Fast and competent support
Works perfectly for petitions, we don't need the other functions. Fast and competent support for a problem with multilingualism.
