Biggest opportunity: Swap “schedule” and “calendar” for “ical” and “room booking”. “schedule” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ical” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “calendar” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “room booking” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.3%

of downloads still active

At least 10K of 3.7M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 944 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events 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 56 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.

    Übersichtliche Nutzerführung beim Kalender und im Reservierungbereich. Einstellbarkeit der Ressourcen und Zeiten, für Miet- oder Verleihsachen sehr gut geeignet. Durch CSS-Code auch recht gut anzupassen.Vielleicht sollten noch ein paar Formular-Templates überarbeitet oder ausgetauscht werden. Der Stil “Modern” ist sehr gut, in dem Layout vielleicht noch ein paar Varianten. Andere Formulare wirken sehr “historisch”. Trotzdem 5 Punkte.
