How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

Great plugin that’s much faster and a great alternative to others that I’ve used in the past (Showcase, Diverse Solutions, etc) Excellent support too; they were able to promptly make a few tweaks that I requested and everything works great. Give it a try – you’ll be glad you did.

I have experimented with many IDX services and plugins in the past. Recently discovered Rover IDX and find it to be the best in terms or results, flexibility, support and cost. The developer is responsive which is greatly appreciated.

We are thrilled to have found RoverIDX and highly recommend it as the best IDX plugin out there. It has a great design from a technical standpoint, and it won’t slow down webpages like other plugins often do. It was built with SEO in mind and performs excellently. But that’s not all – the technical support is simply outstanding! The author responds quickly and resolves any technical issues with great care and attention to detail. After carefully considering all the options, we knew RoverIDX was the right choice for us and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. We could not be more pleased and highly recommend RoverIDX!

I have been a loyal supporter of Rover IDX as they are a class act when it comes to IDX! Everytime I have needed support or questions they have been able to get me answers or solutions to that i’m trying to do. I also like the features on the backend and they do have more than I use currently as well they keep doing great updates. Great IDX solution. Thank you!

Hey Agents, If you’re tired of garbage IDX plugins and searching for a real solution, read on! I stumbled on to Rover IDX after my annual quest to drop the plugin company I’ve had for 5 years. They were slow, buggy and their customer support experience was MISERABLE. I knew I was searching in vain until I found RoverIDX. I made a call to ask some questions dreading I would end up with somebody on the other end of the line who couldn’t answer. To my surprise, not only did somebody answer the phone, they could answer ALL my questions with speed and agility in a language I could understand! Say what?! I made the switch, asking questions, getting answers, making adjustments getting solutions…it took a while but I have a HUGE site. RoverIDX could not be more responsive and problem-solving. The people behind Rover are code geniuses…I mean OVER THE TOP smart but they are also ridiculously helpful and have this driving nature to knock it out of the park for you every time! Never in my life have I hired a company that was so willing to help me and my website perform masterfully until now. If your current plugin company is telling you your website is slow and there’s no way of fixing it, they are wrong! RoverIDX has accomplished AMAZING SPEEDS and you need that if you want Google to rank your website first page high. Their knowledge of SEO is also out of this world! My last IDX plugin couldn’t even spell SEO! This team understands it EXCEPTIONALLY well! If your current company doesn’t let you customize, ROVERIDX lets you customize EVERYTHING including photo sizes! No more forcing your clients to search your real estate website with binoculars and no more being forced to have a website that looks like EVERYBODY else’s! If you’re tired of waiting days and months for important fixes to garbage code with your current IDX company, call RoverIDX and end the madness! Switching to RoverIDX is the #1 best thing you can do for your real estate business!

I’ve tried a lot of real estate plugins, and NO QUESTION RoverID is the best by far. Not only is it much more robust and customizable than any of the others, but you also get the most amazing support from the Rover team. I was highly impressed, created a powerful, customer-friendly website, and had phenomenal support throughout. I would absolutely recommend the RoverID plugin to anyone that wants to create a truly useful and beautiful real estate site.

I think I’ve never seen such support. I know I’m asking a lot with so many questions since I work in a niche market, but they answer and find a solution for everything. This plugin is fast, easy to install and good for SEO. What else? Thank you guys. Sylvain

Out of the box, the built-in design templates are well thought out and look good on all device sizes but are also highly customizable. I love that I have control over search panel criteria, complete property detail page layout, map pages, listing pages and more. Customization is also integrated into lead generation behavior so new leads can be assigned to round-robin style or to an office catchall. Another big plus is the built-in SEO functionality including an auto-generated property XML sitemap. This plugin also creates a new blog post when there is a new listing or a price change for all agents in the office. This is a big SEO booster. The developer has been extremely helpful when I have had questions and this has been a big time saver for me. If I could give this plugin a 10-star rating I would!
