Biggest opportunity: Swap “scroll” for “immersive”. “scroll” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “immersive” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.2%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 135.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,318 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media 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 1 release 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 “scroll” for “immersive”. “scroll” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “immersive” sits at #5 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 “scroll”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Edit : Changed my rating because i bought the paid version and it’s works well. This topic was modified 7 months, 3 weeks ago by Jakours2.

This plugin is really cool and support is very nice and helpful.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ erisf2.9y ago
The idea for this plugin is certainly good but the documentation is outdated and shows options that don’t exist on the actual editing page. The animation process also isn’t straight forward and there are very few explanations about certain coding aspects. The plugin praises itself as being code-free, but that isn’t the case. Not to mention again that the documentation is outdated, thus it’s difficult to follow the tutorial. The pro version is clearly the best part of the plugin, with the free version existing only to entice you to buy. The trouble is a lifetime license is expensive, especially for someone who may want to use only one or two animations, and it certainly isn’t worth paying for this. Overall this is a bit disappointing because it’s less about providing customers and users with a useful tool, it’s rather about gate-keeping, and even the free options aren’t intuitive enough to navigate. It would be really nice if the developers would think of something there, both in terms of lowering the lifetime cost of the plugin + making the animation process more straightforward.

Really good plugin, obviously still in its early stages but the great support makes it very worthwhile. I can see it only getting better!

This is a great plugin that helps you to create a website with a different and creative style. It is well-developed so that the website does not load too slowly.

This WordPress plugin is a game-changer! It seamlessly integrates into your website, offering a wide range of intuitive features that boost functionality and customization. I feel this plugin has made coding redundant!

It is easy to declare the winner after first trying to build the same feature / app on own team. Scrollsequence got it right. The very core of the app, which is the end user experience (look & feel) and the SEO compatibility are the key reasons not to look further on. We are rolling this out to multiple use cases now.
