The best: great support
Hello. The buttons look perfect and it works great, but the best thing by far is the support. I had a problem and I reported it on a Sunday afternoon, well, the next day, Monday, at just over ten in the morning they released an update that corrected the problem. There are payment services that are far from having such fast and effective attention. Best regards Carlos.

Easy to use, pretty and great support
I like Kiwi over the other social sharing plugins I have tried because it is easy to use (I am a non-technical user), the share buttons look great and when I asked for support it arrived quickly, in plain english and with enough instructions. Thank you

Great plugin
I was looking for a simple social sharing plugin that allowed me to share a few social sharing buttons like Facebook and Twitter. So far this plugin fits my needs and works well in my site. There is also a pro version if you need to add more social sharing services to your site. Well done. Kind regards

Horribly restricted in free mode
This is a horribly restricted plugin. Doesnt seem to support many social media sharing options, including email or RSS in free mode. Also doesnt let you just add this to posts. As a result, its a big fail.
