Biggest opportunity: Swap “google integration” for “ninja forms google sheets”. “google integration” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ninja forms google sheets” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

2.9%

of downloads still active

At least 1K of 34K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,668 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms 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 3 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 had a problem with activating the license, but CS was very helpful in solving it, and the plugin was very useful for retrieving complete and real-time data into Google Sheet

    The free version of this app no longer seems to be supported. The tutorial video and FAQs show menu options that do not exist. I was not able to connect my accounts together because the process described in the videos do not seem to exist any more.
