Biggest opportunity: Swap “block” for “mail form”. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mail form” sits at #14 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 →6.1%
of downloads still active
At least 30K of 493.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,580 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks 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 12 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.

偉大なプラグインであるMW WP Formと同じ作者様の新作ということで、期待して使わせていただきました。 MW WP Formほどの多機能さはありませんが、その分、要件がシンプルなフォームならブロックでサクサク作れるのが本当に快適で、この手軽さは素晴らしいポイントだと思います。 ただ、シンプルさを追求されている分、MW WP Formの時のような柔軟なカスタマイズ（YubinBangoなどの外部JSとの連携など）をしようとすると、少しハードルが高くなったような印象を受けました。 また、現状ではブロックエディターの挙動に少し制限があるようで、例えば「Snow Monkey Form」ブロックに直接追加CSSクラスを記述してもフロントに反映されない点などが気になりました。このあたりが改善されて、もう少し自由度が上がると最強のフォームプラグインになるなと期待しています！ This topic was modified 7 months, 2 weeks ago by meatonline.

machine translation: You can create forms with a block editor.Basic functions can be added quickly, and confirmation screens can be quickly set up. Even if you lack the knowledge to write code, this plugin is easy to handle. ブロックエディターでフォームを作ることができます。基本的な機能をすぐに追加することが出来、確認画面などもさっと設定することが出来ます。コードを書くなどの知識がまだ少なくても、扱いやすいプラグインだと思います。

日本国内で問い合わせフォームのプラグインと言えばContact Form 7が有名ですが、ある程度デザインを整えるにはHTMLやCSSをいじれないと難しいし、確認画面を設けることができません。 Snow Monkey FormsならHTMLもCSSもいじらなくてもある程度整ったデザインのフォームが作れますし、確認画面の有無も選べます。フォームのプラグインでは最もわかりやすく、かつ機能がすばらしいと思います。

ブロックエディタでコードを書かずにフォームを設置できます。 名前に「Snow Monkey」が付いていますが、テーマは「Snow Monkey」ではなくても使用できます。 確認画面のオン・オフ切り替え、reCAPTCHAに対応しているので、日本国のようなフォームへの要件が厳しいウェブサイトにも採用しやすいです。 フォームや各項目にclass属性を付与できます。また、複数の入力項目をグループ化することもできるので（姓・名を分ける、郵便番号と住所など）、デザインの自由度はかなり高いです。 同じ作者さんの「MW WP Form」と比較するとやや機能は少なくなっていて、高度な入力内容のチェックや、送信後に特定ページへ自動転送はJavaScriptの知識が必要になります。
