Works great - Excellent support
I needed to convert a large form from PDF to online. After trying several other plugins I found Hf. There was some trouble at first, but the developer quickly replied to my email with an easy fix. I now have full control without the kinds of constraints that come with the more automated approach.

simplest, fastest and easiest HTML form plugin
This should be a native core feature to WordPress as a form builder. This plugin is amazing, powerful yet very light. I can customize it as per my needs. Thank you for this plugin.

Fantastic no-bloat solution for developers
So glad I found this plugin so I don't need to design my forms in some visual editor!Would be lovely if more captcha solutions (ie. Turnstile) were supported.
