Works good, but stop nagging me.
The plugin does its job. At least, for what I use it for. With that said, nagging me to leave a review or upgrade to pro every other day is a sure-fire way to receive a one-star review. Stop nagging users.

Doesn't even work right
Can't exactly use the plugin when it doesn't work. Avatar doesn't show up no matter what I do, and the only suggestion from documentation is to go to an admin menu that doesn't exist. Uninstalling.
