Biggest opportunity: Swap “timer” for “webinars”. “timer” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “webinars” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 4K of 364.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 943 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 2 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 “timer” for “webinars”. “timer” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “webinars” sits at #16 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 “countdown timer”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Does not save your work when you add new countdown, useless

Easy to use, responsive and works great – Thank you.

Does not work on a multi-site. Searched support and found a topic, however, it had several responses indicating the same problem with multiple users with no solution and the thread now closed. Don’t bother with it, it’s a waste of time.

Timer though a good idea and would have saved me time coding my own is very buggy with load issues. Using the Pro version for multiple sites/timers per page and using more than one timer per page causes load issues where the timers appear less than 40% of the time leaving blank spaces where they should be the remaining time. If a single timer per page fails all timers fail. Using one per page appears to have better loading success but still not even close to 100%. No responses after a week from their own website contact form or the support forum here.
