How it's measured →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 599.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 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 6 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.

Search visibility
How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

Awesome plugin and support

The plugin performs its function 100% and after an initial configuration error on my part, the assistance from the developers was exceptional and led me to the solution, solving my problem, allowing me to use the plugin correctly

This is a very good booking calendar plugin for WordPress. Easy to set up, easy for the end user to work with and great support when you need it. All good! Thank you.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Blurst4.1y ago
I tried to get it to work, but was unable to select dates from the calendar, and there is no way to enter them manually. I was probably a bit hasty, in my review. I’ll be more diligent next time. I guess you have to manually specify the available dates ahead of time. Sounds like that might work for some applications. I’ll keep looking for something more suitable.

Found this plugin and tested it in the free version. It was easy to install and intuitive in administration to me. Decided to buy a pro version for the hours functionality we needed. After installation and customization we found a small slightly annoying misplaced hover and asked support. With fast reaction times, and a straight forward way to the solution we banned that in 2 days. Thanks to the team!

the function i need is 1. Is it possible to cancel a reservation without registering as a member? 2. Is it possible to limit the number of people by day and time? 3. Is it possible to write html? Of the two, the most important is 1 and 2
