Just what I needed
I needed to send my sample audio files to only subscribed users and this plugin just made it possible. Very very very happy with this plugin. Gracias!!

Very useful plugin and Top notch support
At first I was really confused with the link encryption feature but when I contacted the support they clarified me properly and assisted me without any delay to setup the plugin. Very useful plugin for collecting subscribers. Cheers!!

Nice Concept
The idea of this plugin is a good one.....when it works. It is easy enough to set up a download to attract new subscribers, and the pop-ups and static forms look good. However, I have had issues getting this to work consistently. One minute it works great, then the next I get emails from subscribers wondering where their download is (the link takes them to the home page). Not a way to build a subscriber base! I purchased the regular license thinking that customer service would help solve any glitches, but they have been slow to respond and not very helpful. I have deactivated the plugin for now.
