Biggest opportunity: Swap “maps” for “interactive charts”. “maps” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “interactive charts” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 110.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

As a standalone JS chart library, Amcharts is one of the best there is – powerful, logically organized, and remarkably stable. This plugin is essentially a shortcode generator – you still need to write all the chart code in JS. It has a lot of moving parts – the upside is you can do anything you want. And while the docum is extensive and well-organized, it’s still a steep learning curve (at least, for me). I hung in there and I’m glad I did – nothing in the WP ecosystem comes even close to what Amcharts can do.

Yes, you need to work a little harder to get things going than with other plugins, but the output is so much better! I can’t imagine a diagram that can’t be done with Amworks. Keep up the great work 🙂

I have used this plugin almost 7 years ago and that time I was stacked for somewhere and I asked for help, plugin author @martynasma helped me. I was very glad to him but I forgot to review. This 5 star for you. Thanks man.

Have used Amcharts for my static sites. Briliiantly designed. Same concepts applied here for WordPress. However, since the charts are defined using JS and Amcharts object lib, there is a definite learning curve. This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by imincognito.

Very powerful plugin, complete charts ever, clear documentation, nice UI, easy customisation. Keep up the good work..
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ calvinrbell9.2y ago
I used the free version of this at first, was able to create the chart and most importantly, use the dataloader to load some REST API web services I had created. They look and feel good, and the users really dig the charts!
