Excellent plugin
Thank you it´s awesome!

Has potential.
The plugin works fine, no error or bugs, and it's ultra light. I'm thankful for the time and effort the author put into to give it for free. However, to my liking, needs improvement in some aspects. 1) The WhatsApp button doesn't link to WhatApp, it just shows a text box saying "Add the number to the Contacts on your phone and send us a message via app. Call us:" followed by whatever phone number you entered in the WhatsApp button field. 2) All buttons, once clicked on, open a text box area, some with a link in it that you can click on, like email button, and some with just plain text, like the text button. So, it's like a 2 step click. This could be just a personal preference, but hey, this is a personal rating, so I guess it's valid. 3) There's no way to add a custom url, that would be very useful. Maybe this won't bother other users. Just giving my respectful opinion. Thanks again to the author for contributing to the community. EDITED: Original rating was 4, changed it to 5. If you care to know why, read blow.
