Academy LMS – AI Course Builder, Quizzes, Certificates & eLearning

Reviewers keep praising fast, hands-on support and an LMS that's simple and quick to set up, with a few asking for more integrations like Divi 5 modules.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

49 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 27 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 22 months ago; the previous band took 19 months to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   I have been using several products from this team for quite some time, and my experience has been consistently positive. The plugins are well-designed, reliable, and regularly updated. The code quality is excellent, the documentation is clear, and the products integrate seamlessly with WordPress. Whenever I have needed assistance, the support team has been responsive, professional, and genuinely committed to resolving any issues. What I appreciate most is the continuous improvement of their products and their willingness to listen to customer feedback. This gives me confidence not only as a customer but also as someone who is planning to introduce and promote their solutions in the Portuguese market. If you are looking for high-quality WordPress plugins backed by a dedicated team, I can confidently recommend their products. Keep up the excellent work!

   I am using Academy LMS for a couple of months now and really like the simplicity and speed of it. When asking for help, the developer responded quickly and just a few days ago, when asking for a new feature, the developer not only responded quickly but within days built the feature into the plugin. Really cool to see the product grow and the developer caring about user feedback! Keep going! A+

   The product itself is very well-built and technically solid, but what truly impressed me was the level of support provided before the purchase. The developer was extremely responsive, professional, and helpful from a technical perspective. All my questions were answered clearly, and they took the time to understand my needs rather than giving generic replies. This kind of pre-sales support is rare and shows real commitment to the product and its users. Thanks to their guidance and transparent communication, the purchasing process was smooth and confidence-inspiring. Overall, a great experience with excellent technical support and a developer who truly cares about users. Highly recommended

   Uso la piattaforma da circa 2 mesi, nel tempo ho riscontrato due bug di poca importanza, ma non appena li ho segnalati al supporto sono stati risolti in breve tempo. Il supporto oltretutto è veloce con i tempi di risposta e molto disponibile, nonostante le mie mille domande. Davvero apprezzato, lo consiglio a chi deve creare una piattaforma di e-learning
