PWA is very full featured and works
I had gemini help me get it configured and I think the biggest issus was clearing the cache in Wordpress and on my phone. I'd give 5.5 stars if they had a gutenberg block that I could put on the page so some vould see that and install from there as well if the clicked off the install option too quickly

Really good app for Pagespeed Insights
I run a small website and was having issues with mobile download speeds. I made several tweaks to the website, and decided to try PWA for WP. It made a huge difference to mobile download speeds, from a performance of around 68 to 99. Amazing results. As the website is e-commerce and most of my traffic is from mobile, I hope it makes it easier for customers to repeat purchase

Fraudulent Company, Stay Away
I have never enabled an auto renew for this plugin but they have been charging my card for years without ever using this plugin. When mentioned to them they are not willing to help whatever. Makes sense as this plugin is terrible for your website and overall performance, they need every cent they can get. Stay away from this shady company.
