Biggest opportunity: Swap “event management”, “online booking” and “reservation” for “workshops”, “workshop” and “seat reservation”. “event management” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “workshops” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “online booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “workshop” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “reservation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “seat reservation” sits at #11 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 →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 38.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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.
This plugin shipped 39 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 “event management”, “online booking” and “reservation” for “workshops”, “workshop” and “seat reservation”. “event management” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “workshops” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “online booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “workshop” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “reservation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “seat reservation” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “300+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 3 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 400.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles15 of the last 24 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.

Wow, it is literally amazing, as people say this is the best and this is for free, amazing. Kudos to the creator. Couple of things to note, though:1. Is there a German translation it seems like there is but I can’t seem to activate it. Please Help?2. Is it normal that everybody can view the custom fields that is not good, since this is personal data shared to other users not good => Is there a setting I am missing?3. Is there an option to add a SMTP Mailer because Mails are not delivered reliably => Any plugin recommendations or settings that I am missing?

This is a great plugin! Can be used for much more, not just seat selection. The maintainer is quick on responses, and implementations of the new ideas and fixes, just how every plugin maintainer should work! Great work, thanks!
