of downloads still active
At least 20K of 111.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,272 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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 is a great plugin. Works perfectly with Elementor Pro. Would love to see this with Material Design Symbols.

This was a great little pick up to easily add icons to Elementor. I wanted a bigger variety to choose from and reading the documentation it seemed like a pain to get them into Elementor. This plugin solved that problem quickly and easily. Thanks.
