Biggest opportunity: “feedback forms”, “forms” and “polls” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.2%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 6.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,667 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 2 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ datschge4.4y ago
We were looking for a plugin that offers integration of surveys without sharing our visitors’ data with external websites. This plugin does just that, and does it well. It’s highly configurable and flexible, so at first it takes getting used to. But as flexible as it is (multiple question, choices, pages etc.) it allows for a wide range of applications. The plugin’s developer also always has been quick to respond to questions and technical issues. Thanks!
