Biggest opportunity: Swap “loan” for “responsive background”. “loan” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “responsive background” sits at #7 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 7K of 199.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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 4 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “loan” for “responsive background”. “loan” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “responsive background” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “loan”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This plugin called back to their servers unnecessarily so I tried to delete it. This is the first wp plugin I’ve used that refused to uninstall. Trying to delete the plugin get the following error: Deletion failed: There has been a critical error on this website.Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress. I had to remove it manually via ftp.

This is really cool. Love the visuals on “calculate”.

The calculator itself works just fine. The problem is that when you click “Calculate”, it takes you to a rate page with a HUGE call to action that takes the user to another website to get competing rate quotes from a different company (and there is no way other than CSS or editing the code, to remove it). Ironic that the one screenshot that they don’t show you, is the one with the pop up that promotes their company. Screenshot here: https://ibb.co/i5PbFA Considering most people looking to download this are wanting to provide real time quotes for mortgage company websites, thats a huge conflict of interest. I get it, its a free plugin (and for them, its a great way to market the developer’s mortgage business by getting links and redirecting potential buyers away from sites who use this plugin, and over to their site). But if you are a mortgage provider and looking to use a plugin to provide real time rate quotes for YOUR clients, this is NOT the one to use if you prefer not to have your clients highjacked by a competitor.

How important is outstanding customer support? It takes this clean, simple mortgage calculator to the top of the list!! Super responsive support and I can’t say enough good things. A must have and thank you again.

When reading reviews many people talk about the level of service. I can tell everyone considering this plugin to not question it. We had a client that needed a mortgage calculator that claimed it would be a breeze and should be one out there. That…was…not the case. Once we found this plugin it did everything we needed with great details. David was amazing and provided support that many plugin developers may not. We were able to complete the clients asks and could not recommend this more.

Initially the plugin seemed intimidating with the amount of logical and math settings. But the support is great and I was able to understand it and customize it in no time. Would be great if there was some dummy-resistant instruction that can set you in the right direction and help you understand how this works, but I can’t really complain as prompt support is provided so after couple of emails I knew exactly what I was doing. Calculator works well with Divi (use text instead of code module to insert shortcode). I’m currently working on Divi Version: 3.0.92 and WordPress 4.9.1 This topic was modified 8 years, 6 months ago by COLORPEAK Web Design & Marketing.

This is a very powerful plugin and I was immediately lost. Showed the developer, Dave Wilder, want I needed and he walked me through the whole thing! Thanks, Dave.
