Biggest opportunity: Swap “ratings”, “recommendations” and “reviews” for “amazon link”, “zillow” and “review management”. “ratings” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “amazon link” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “recommendations” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “zillow” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “review management” sits at #18 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 2K of 151.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 6 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “ratings”, “recommendations” and “reviews” for “amazon link”, “zillow” and “review management”. “ratings” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “amazon link” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “recommendations” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “zillow” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “review management” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

The free version works great, but heads up: if you sign up for an account, the free access expires after two weeks. If you want to keep using it for free indefinitely, do not sign up.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ heinzbecker10mo ago
The plugin is easy to configure and install. Unfortunately, there are frequent downtimes during which the plugin simply does not work. Even though new reviews are available, they are not downloaded, and a message appears stating that there are no new reviews. Unfortunately, the existing reviews are deleted, so that nothing is displayed on the website. Troubleshooting usually takes several weeks.

Nicht alle Widgets oder Plugins sind am Ende des Tages einfach zu installieren. Bei diesem hier ging alles sehr einfach und glatt. Bin sehr zufrieden! Danke!

This is exactly what I was looking for on my website. Quite easy to set up and a lot of choices for changing the look.

Just a few clicks and this awesome widget is up and running.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ KD1.4y ago
Although the initial setup is a good experience, the plugin is super slow to download reviews from the amazon product url. The free version allows to fetch update only once in 8 days. Did not try for storefront urls. Overall an ‘OK’ plugin. This topic was modified 1 year, 1 month ago by KD.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ dobrabant1.6y ago
it only works with product URLs and not with the store URL or seller reviews. So it's a completely useless plugin.
