Biggest opportunity: Swap “product reviews” and “ratings” for “review reminder” and “verified reviews”. “product reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “review reminder” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ratings” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “verified reviews” 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 →0.2%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 228.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,142 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 8 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

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 “400+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 38 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 500.

The plugin works great with my latest project dedicated to businesses reviewing their customers at impactcustomerreviews.com! Their support has always been very helpful and responsive to all the customizations I needed done to make this plugin work well and look good!

Nothing interesting in free version. Developers trying to sell expensive premium version using this useless free version.

I can’t even try the features. He asks for money for almost everything. An add-on to avoid. This type of developers aim to create problems and find solutions.

The site is updated with WP 5.7.2 I have two pending Ultimate Reviews updates (3.0.1 to 3.0.8) and (2.1.35 to 3.0.8). If I try to update one of the two it crashes the site (www.artnuances.com). I tried to uninstall one of the two versions, but the result is still the same. In the plugin section, version 2.1.35 is active, while version 3.0.1 is currently suspended. What do you recommend?

This plugin gave my website a fatal error to where my customers could not purchase their products! My guess is that when woocomerce or wordpress makes updates, this plugin does not. Customer service is horrible and they did not get back to me at all with my concerns. I usually don’t write reviews because i’m a patient person and it is what it is but it seems they only care about making their money for the plugins. They dont care if we have issues with them. I cancelled my subscription as i havnt heard back from them about my issue. My website is my money maker and i care about my customers. The plugin worked really good at first, but now that i had to update my website, they do not want to comply with my emails and fix the issues. 2 weeks in and i still have not heard back from them. Bad Bad customer service… UPDATE: The issue is fixed and the plugin works perfectly now! Thank you for the fix! I really do love this plugin…. For that i changed my stars to 5….

The Plugin Works fine, the pro plan is needed to get full functionnality but it’s not too expensive. I had some interactions with the support and they reply in less than 24 hours. This topic was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by admin6378.
