Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin” for “typing”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “typing” sits at #24 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 300 of 24.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,193 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 1 release 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.

Works good for me with the plugin names. As suggested by other reviewers, a personal fav list would be awesome.

Current version doesn’t work with putting page url on textbox. Also there is no reply about the support thread I opened last two months. So, I guess the plugin is not maintained anymore or the developer might be busy. Better look for other plugin.

I thin this plugin is nice except its hard to remember or keep handy my list of often installed plugins. How about a way to either (1) Add a check-box to the “Favorites” list in the plugin installer, so I can just type in my WP username and pick out the ones I need or (2) incorporate a way to get my favote plugins from the WP site and choose which to install this would be KILLER!!

I tested the plugin and read through the code. The admin interface is clean: it just adds a field to Plugins > Add New. The code is well organized and well written. It’s much shorter than other plugins trying to do the same thing, and makes use of built-in WordPress APIs, so it’s likely to work in more environments and stay stable over time.
