Free to a point…

Dear joshmans,
Usually when reviewing the plugin, the main available features of the plugin are being discussed. Our plugin uses a complex of advanced features which are not accessible with the free versions of our competitors. We have indicated and combined the most commonly used features by the users and currently provide them free of charge. The Pro package uses more advanced and particular features. In addition we do have a customer wishlist and constantly work on unlocking and adding more features, thus we welcome suggestions. Hopefully the review will be changed especially considering the efforts we are inputting to provide the best possible service for our free and pro users. Thank you.

Please describe situations where not having front end submissions is actually valuable? Without them I see no point in using this (or any similar) plugin, and installing it was a waste of my time… especially when you have this: “Form Maker is a FREE and user-friendly plugin to create highly customizable and responsive forms in a few minutes with simple drag and drop interface.” as the first thing in the description of the plugin. That simply isn’t very accurate.. You tout it as FREE and user-friendly to create (it is) but the trick is that without paying for it.. you cannot actually use the forms. So again.. please tell me, what is the point?

Dear joshmans,
The vast majority of our users uses the back end submissions section for tracking the entries, since they use the Form Maker for various forms, where the entries are not favorable to be displayed on the front end. The back end functionality is the commonly used among our users, thus we have included the front-end submissions section among the Pro options. Thank you.

I use the shorcode in WordPress and tested, I can submit the form. So what does it mean by “No front-end submissions” ?

I got the impression from this discussion that visitors to my page cannot submit a form using the free version, but they can.
It works, thanks.

Dear users,

The discussion is not about submitting the form, but it is about publishing submissions in the front-end. For example have a page in your website and publish the submissions of a particular form there.

This option is available in pro version.

Just submitting a form is a basic function and without it it’s useless to have a form. So it’s always available in free version.
