How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I was looking for plugin, that can inform my users ‘(physicians, pharmacists, personal trainers and their clients) of a Vitamin diagnostics test D not just about the weather, but also comes with some special information that can included, like UV index to expected. The setup was quite straight forward an I am now going to start using it in various ways as an additional free service on http://www.vitality-health-check.com. Lars

    FREE VERSION 4.4.3 with wordpress 4.4.2 Yet another weather plugin that says weather on a State level, but fails. Yet another weather plugin that says auto-detect location, but fails. Yet another weather plugin that fails to display weather data. WordPress should really consider setting up a process to force designers to submit their plugins for validity and approval before allowing them to be offered to the public. I wonder just how many millions of hours have been wasted over the years by site owners installing, attempting to configure, and uninstalling bogus and/or misleading plugins? What a waste! Almost makes me want to go back to a basic forum software.
