Reviews

Simple and exactly what I was looking for

benz145 December 8, 2016 1 reply

I wanted a sort of ‘micro-survey’ option to get some feedback from readers and Mare.io was exactly what I needed. It was extremely easy to set up and get an initial run of questions going to gather baseline feedback. I’m really please with the ease of use and plan to continue to use Mare.io.

Too expensive to get individual answers

hmaestro October 15, 2016 1 reply

You cannot get individual answers without paying a subscription that is very expensive. Might be okay if you are only asking one question. Unfortunately, I needed to see how answers related to each other.

Works great!

georgelione September 3, 2016 3 replies

The plugin works great for me. However, it directly uses files from the MARE.io server, and Google’s PageSpeed Insights complain about resources not being optimized. It may be a turn off for people who care about these scores to use the plugin (my client certainly does). Edit: developer addressed my issue quickly and fixed it, I’m changing to 5 stars. Keep up the excellent work!

You need to create profile for their service

Not stand-alone – You need to create profile to create a survey on their site.

Pretty neat

dani3l1986 September 3, 2016 1 reply

I’ve set Max Views Per Visitor: 1 but the pop-up show even after answering the poll. If i answer and navigate to other pages in the site it shows up again. Other than that i like the plugin
