Biggest opportunity: Swap “mobile” for “customize menu”. “mobile” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “customize menu” sits at #4 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 →2.9%
of downloads still active
At least 30K of 1M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,186 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 3 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.

The WP Responsive Plugin by MagniGenie has many problems. It looked good at first glance, but after using it for a while it began to develop problems. When we reached out for support using their ticketing system, we never got a response. We have opted to use Responsive Menu by ExpressTech. So far this plugin appears to be superior to WP Responsive Plugin by MagniGenie.

I tried four other responsive menu plugins. Every one was missing key features, or just didn’t work. This one has all the options I needed, and everything works as documented.

They responded very kindly and quickly through chat to fix the display problem of the social networking icons and the menu. Thank you very much.

The free version did exactly what I needed it to do and when my website is more out there, I plan on upgrading to the premium version. it makes a mobile friendly menu and you are able to customize it a lot. There is a lot more options with the premium version, but there is enough options with the free version where I am comfortable with my mobile menu until further notice. I went through a few plugins and this one was the easiest to use, and made sure to explain how to install the menu.

I’ve used this plugin on so many sites that I’ve lost count. It’s my go-to plugin to build menus.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ grac_grac4.3y ago
in the free version of wp responsive menu not even the basic properties work: try “bold”, try “uppercase” – nothing happens. and it seems that the developer have never heard of color opacity (the 7th and 8th number in the #color-number). this makes this plugin unusable. This topic was modified 4 years ago by grac_grac.

This plugin has broke my site. Support is usless he pretended he could login to my admin because he couldnt fix it. If you dont want your site messed up then DO NOT INSTALL THIS PLUGIN!!!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Xandro5.3y ago
This plugin is really great but when I press the menu button on my mobile the whole menu bar shakes like for some microseconds it shows white background please make it steady (menu bar) rest is all good. Try to improve some coding to make it lightweight. I see you people are from India, good luck with your Plugin. Hope you are going to stay up to date with this plugin that’s how you people can gain trust from people to sell your paid plugins if there are any. Again wish you the best.
