Biggest opportunity: Swap “currencies”, “currency conversion” and “currency converter” for “dolar”, “accommodation” and “date converter”. “currencies” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dolar” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “currency conversion” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “accommodation” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “currency converter” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “date converter” sits at #15 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 800 of 151.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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 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.

I use the plugin on my legal blog, and it operates stably without any complaints. The currency rates are updated every hour. Given the unstable dollar exchange rate in Ukraine, it’s very useful to have a plugin that displays the dollar-to-hryvnia exchange rate from the black market.

The demo looks great, but I was unable to copy its design plus later I realized that this plugin made my website load real slow and some buttons stopped working. Deactivated it right away, all problems solved.
