of downloads still active
At least 1K of 198.8K 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 1 release 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.

I just wish there was more documentation. I’m trying to figure how I can save a group of people to send out bulk texting. If there were more instructions, I would have given the plugin 5 stars
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Generosus2.5y ago
Update (June 1, 2024): Upgrading plugin rating from three (3) to five (5) stars. Developer has been responsive, required fixes have been incorporated in a timely manner, and the plugin performs as intended.

I’m with the persons who payed for this plugin and doesn’t get any support or contact as by far most of the reviews are saying here. Plugins like these should be removed by wordpress. They also should take responsibility in this to let it happen.

I have tried to contact the developer of this plugin to request a refund of my purchase. I purchased the life time subscription of the Pro version. The plugin does not work as claimed. There is also no support. I tried to email the developer but have not had any type of response.

Stay away from this plugin if you are looking for any support or refund. Many things DONT work and there is no support what so ever from the developer on this channel or their Facebook page.
