Biggest opportunity: Swap “mobile”, “survey” and “test” for “farsi”, “questions and answers” and “personality test”. “mobile” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “farsi” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “survey” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “questions and answers” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “test” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “personality test” sits at #17 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 3K of 428.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 7 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 “mobile”, “survey” and “test” for “farsi”, “questions and answers” and “personality test”. “mobile” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “farsi” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “survey” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “questions and answers” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “test” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “personality test” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

The app is good but the support is awful.It feels like you’re bothering the person, and like they some sort of rocket science misunderstood genius when you’re merely asking for how to use one line of shortcode and a few variables to display results in a way that makes some sense and is user friendly. This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by sliwka. Reason: uncalled for

I recently encountered a problem that may have had nothing to do with the Business Directory plugin. The support was awesome and everything is fixed now. I’ve been using this plugin for years and it’s good to know they are still totally on top of support!

I had all my sites running with WP Pro Quiz. Unfortunately, the development was stopped and the further development of WP-Adv-Quiz was rather bad. Waited over a year for an update and bug fixes and an update came that produced more bugs. So I had to look for something new and ended up at Watu. I translated the installation into German with Loco and set everything up. Even without premium, this is a perfect quiz plugin. I will still buy premium soon to support the developers. Great work! Keep it up! greetings from Germany

Requires a short learning curve to master the many possible functions and options, but a terrific and flexible quiz creation app with outstanding support for the few queries I had after purchase.
