of downloads still active
At least 10K of 264.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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 4 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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “job”, “job lists” and “job listing” (#4, #4 and #6 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

This plugin blatantly lies about WCAG 2.2 accessibility. Also, the author does not answer any support threads, and there are numerous functions within the plugin that do not work as advertised (like the fact that it says you can set headings on things, there is an option for it but it does NOTHING).

Simple, clean and easy to use!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ andrewtgh1.4y ago
The plugin works very well, but isn’t supported by the developer, hence the 2 stars. There are help topics going back a year now, which appears to be when the developer stopped responding. Last (very minor) update was 3 months ago. As it stands the plugin continues to do what I require of it and the errors are manageable, but I suspect that won’t last, sadly. If the support situation changes I may revise the review in the future, but I fear we’ll be looking for a new option quite soon.

The plugin is powerfull, but there’s no option to customize form fields per application. If i’m create a new field, then, this is displayed in all jobs applications.

Doesn´t work with blocks or at least no documentation. weird handling in the backend, bad and confusing interface no support caused hours of fiddling and debugging the source code

The best plugin I have ever seen in this area. It works 100%. Many thanks to the developers!!! ☀️😎👍👌🙌

… and excellent support (for a free plugin!)

Although with little hope, I have left a question that many before have asked without receiving an answer. If they respond, I will change my rating. If you take a look at the forum, you’ll see they never respond, and people end up deleting it because they don’t even bother to reply. Very bad image for the company behind it.
