Biggest opportunity: “event timeline”, “events” and “history” 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 1K of 42.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| event timeline your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| events your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| history your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| responsive timeline your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| timeline your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles13 of the last 19 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

I am very pleased with the support. I had a specific issue with the timeline resulting in a missing component for editing details of a timeline event. The support contacted me directly after an hour and helped me over 4 days to solve the issue. They explained me in detail what needs to be done. However, as I am less familiar with the webhosting details, I struggled with fixing the issue. Due to my unfamiliarity, it took several emails to make the correct settings. Nevertheless, the support was friendly, respectful and patient. All issues were professional resolved. Great work This topic was modified 3 years, 8 months ago by okarras.

I started with the timeline app. decided to buy the bundle. Once I started asking questions it became vague and not very responsive. I asked for a refund. No reaction at all. Number provide by Checkout was disconnected once I started talking. Overall bad experience.
