Multisite
I never saw support for multisite with this plugin. Deleted. A completely useless thing.

Everything You Need
Great plugin out from the box as they say. Not packed with spam or upsells, in fact, nothing at all. Simply good!

Saves time & simplifies
Such a useful plugin for viewing and editing contents of Robots.txt easily. I don't use two of the SEO plugins which enable Robots.txt editing, and I find using FTP and Notepad too cumbersome/time consuming. Using this plugin instead saves me valuable time. So thanks for creating this plugin!

Works flawlessly
Works flawlessly, out-of-the-box, easy as there is no configuration to be made. Just "set and forget".

Perfect!
Lightweight and perfect for multisite installations. But in documentation need to say where the option/editor is installed (Settings > Read options).
