Biggest opportunity: “shortcode”, “video” and “vimeo” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active

At least 200 of 67.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,320 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.

    WTH. It’s a bait and flop. You know, where they lure you in as though their app does something and then fail miserably at either being or looking like anything you want to deal with. I don’t rate unless it’s crap or great. This is crap. It pained me to give it a star. My advice for techgasp: Get someone else to work the front end marketing, hire a graphic designer, and ask literally anyone not currently on your team about how the functionality should be implemented. Do it now before it’s lastgasp. Don’t discount Techgasp if this review is old. They seem ambitious and for all I know their stuff might work underneath the convoluted methodology, poor marketing, a yank yer wank upsell jive BS bait and flop, and what is truly a comically WTF free app. Maybe they’ll take a nap?

    Plugin is very prommising. Works very well and looks real great. I was missing an upload functionality from the texteditor. If your looking for that check out wp2vimeo

    The only thing you get with this version is a link to your Vimeo profile. This plugin is just a poorly designed gateway to get you to buy the full “advanced” version. Don’t waste your time downloading this. If you are dishonest with the content of your “free” plugin why would anyone want to pay for the “advanced” one.

    This looked like a good plugin. So good that I decided to purchase the premium version. After I downloaded it, there seems to be add ons that are not included. The only problem – the add ons appear to be necessary to actually use the plugin. Their website says the add ons are included. I sent them a message in their support forum – absolutely no response. Not sure if this is a scam or just poor customer service.

    This is one of the worst designed plugins I’ve download – incredible considering its has 22k downloads. The ‘get add ons’ button goes to generic plugin web page. The ‘get widgets’ button goes to a page with 404 error. Not user friendly. Just want you to pay for upgrade to advanced version. Very disappointed.

    After searching for a while I found this so much easier to configure. Love this plugin, recommended for beginners. Great support.
