At least 300 of 31K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

Super easy to configure and use. This guy really has one of the best map locator programs out there. For one, he’s not putting half of the functionality in “upgrades” that cost a couple hundred dollars, everything is included..and it works.

The plugin is highly user-friendly. Looks really nice and clean on the frontend. Thank you for this awesome plugin for multiple locations map.

Unlike all other insanely advanced google maps plugins that have not got any of their features working smoothly, this one does as long as you do what the author says. Usability wise this plugin is less powerful as it is technically. That’s why I’m leaving you here with the following feedback: – Try to implement validations with well explained error messages. For example at the settings page you have to make sure the user enters location parameters to center the map on but none of those fields are required. – Make sure you show/explain/give the user all information to make the user aware of the capabilities the user got. For example you simply display a text area at the short description field when adding a location marker. But you can enter HTML there so why don’t you show the WYSIWYG editor included with WordPress or give a little hint? Features I would change/remove are: – Selecting a predefined map style, why not store the “snazzymaps” configuration in the database and shortly tell users how they can do it their self. I know this is not making it easier but customizability is way more important here. You can also do both 🙂 – Center map on the specified address. Why not center on a long/lat coordinate or on the center of the (selected) marker locations

Really loved this plugin. The setup was intuitive and the settings reasonably robust. I did have a problem with a theme conflict (using Divi), but the developer helped me find a fix. 5 stars.
