  • Does What It Promises

    It was easy to setup, and the emoji reactions work well on my site. It would be nice if the Gutenberg block was included in the free version.

  • Smooth Performance and Helpful Analytics

    I like the lightweight settings and the reaction analytics feature. The plugin works very well on my blog website and was easy to set up. It's a great way to encourage reader engagement without affecting performance.

  • It has potential

    Really like this idea but to have to add the shortcode to all my posts manually is a pain so would be good to tick a box to add it to all posts. Also not sure if its my theme but for me it's rather small.
