Biggest opportunity: Swap “app for wordpress” for “iphone app”. “app for wordpress” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “iphone app” sits at #9 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 200 of 45.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 7 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.
