Biggest opportunity: “poll”, “post survey” and “quiz” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 12.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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.
Removal-risk signals
51/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| poll your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| post survey your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| quiz your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| sidebar survey your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| survey your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

It starts becoming annoying. I just want little poll. And, no I do not want to play a lot. Lots off plugins here. Lots of reading, installing trying, And than at last you see you must have to pay for it. deinstalling. The problem is not that I have to pay for it. If it is worth for me, I can decide. But just tell it from start. Not at the end, after I try to make settings. It does not even tell you on the site what the price is.

You don’t explain what “channels” are, and apparently if a poll isn’t connected to a channel it doesn’t work? It didn’t make sense to me. I tried embedding the poll on a post, and it didn’t show up at all.

It seems a good tool. I created a quiz but can’t embed it in my website even if i followed all the right steps.
