Late updates
This plugin performs exceptionally well when it functions properly. Unfortunately, for a long time now, updates have repeatedly caused serious issues, ranging from breaking my website entirely to key features suddenly stopping working.Over time, I’ve learned not to install updates immediately, as it often takes several weeks before the developers resolve the bugs introduced in the latest release. This lack of reliability makes it difficult to trust the plugin in a production environment. It also creates unnecessary stress around updating WordPress itself, since every update risks additional troubleshooting and significant extra work just to maintain a stable website.

Not a proper event plugin
It misses some of the mainly features for an event plugin. One above all: the events are not displayed in chronological order.

Barely scrapes the basics to be useable
This could be a great plugin, but misses so many important/simple features:1. Time Zone for national businesses with multiple locations/events 2. Display customization (Calendar view, week view, sort, search,...) 3.Coupon Codes 4. Date picker does not work!!! 5. Embed map of venue 6. Event contact info and so on Would be more efficient to work with the popular WP Events Manager plugin
