This is one of the best Helpful plugins. I really hope it will continue to be developed
and updated. Great work. Too bad. Especially there seems to be malware at the web
address. This should be checked and changed by wordpress.org. Cheers

### 󠀁[Simple yet great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-yet-great-4/)󠁿

Does what it says. Don’t get discouraged by that 1-star review guys, this is actually
a pretty nifty plugin. Too bad you hinted premium too early — there is a potential,
but the plugin needs more polish before that.

### 󠀁[Nag message on every admin screen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nag-message-on-every-admin-screen/)󠁿

Once activated, this plugin will add an admin notice to every back-end screen asking
you to upgrade to their pro version. It is not dismissible. The developers have 
confirmed that this is the case too. Although the guidelines do allow admin notices
that “self-dismiss when resolved” (https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-
org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/#11-plugins-should-not-hijack-the-admin-dashboard),
I really don’t feel this is in the spirit of those guidelines. As a result, I’ve
uninstalled the plugin – the notice on every screen is over-bearing and unnecessary(
imo). Plugin developers need to get better at treating their users better – including
those that use the free offering, as they are potential, future customers. Annoying
them in this way isn’t the way to get sales.

The feedback box looks great and is highly functional. Integrates seamlessly into
our site. I also appreciate that the creator of the plugin responds to feedback 
with frequent updates.

A nice, simple way to gather feedback from site visitors. Clean design, and I like
how emojis can be used for user sentiment..
