  • This Plugin almost lost a client...

    Honestly, it sucks to use in WordPress. It has no settings. The app doesn't request costs associated when you download it from WP, nor does it have a Pro Plan or Upgrade link that assumes to the user there is a cost associated... aaaand will shut down use if it isn't paid for. My client is furious. Millions of dollars rides on this client and simply hinges on a QR code not working when he attended a conference, printed huge amounts of collateral at cost, a website and other outputs, only to have the QR Code app kick back and shows the end users that a cost is due for the app in WP. Amateur af. I'm hoping that the developers will get this back up and running for our website immediately. As is, this plugin only supports a short-code embed with no other options in WP. Doesn't request costs to prevent it from shutting down on your project. Otherwise, I'd be happy. Who cares about paying for it if it works great. It's the lack of transparency to the user in WP that really makes it worthless. It has potential, but not for WP currently.
