Biggest opportunity: Swap “booking”, “calendar” and “reservation” for “rooms”, “spa” and “beauty salon”. “booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rooms” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spa” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “reservation” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “beauty salon” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 1.9M 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 23 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “booking”, “calendar” and “reservation” for “rooms”, “spa” and “beauty salon”. “booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rooms” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spa” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “reservation” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “beauty salon” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “reservation”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I needed some custom development work done for a client, and they supported me all the way through. All the development was completed, and I was notified when updates were available. Thank you very much

I never seen paid plugin that is buggy and user unfriendly like this one! I send three weeks to comprehend funcions that are crazy complicated, with zero logic included. I manage to setup google calendar connection. But working only one way. Every day, plugin decides which event in calendar will be prioritised and which event can be overbook by another customer… It cost me not just few euros for licence, but many hours and troubless with my customers. I should rather pay more to advanced plugin and save me from this time and funcional disaster. Customer support is responsive – they get to you back within 24 hours with e-mail, but no answer 😀 Than they ask video of how my synchronisation with google is working only one way… Save yourself a time and money – RUN AWAY!

Does anyone know how to activate the license?Easy -Solved!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ drbell2.1y ago
On 9/9/2024 I purchased a license for Easy Appointments and was immediately informed that I would receive a email “shortly” with all I needed to go forward with it, including access to the support forum on the Author’s site. Ten days later no such email. (And I get NO redirection of “spam mail”, checking it all manually. This would have gone to the support forum instead of here. But no access. How do I get access to the paid version and to the support forums?

Currently, use it for a website that has a lot of bookings every day. So far no issues.

The plugin doesn’t work as advertised and there’s practically NO SUPPORT by the author. A ticket was created SIX WEEKS ago but the author surfaces every several days, only to throw a hasty and inefficient comment and then he disappears again. Steer clear of this one This topic was modified 3 years ago by Alex Seidanis.
