PRO version have less features now than it used to – Maybe a dying plugin

  • I bought it in 2020 because it had 2 main things i loved.

    A lot of active support: it had a forum in its page wich was actively managed by the developer. A lot of answers were there for almost any problem you could face. That made it a really active plugin. I can understand when you develop a plugin with one time payment this is time consuming. But the forum was a huge database of information. It was deleted and changed by a FAQ with much less information on it .

    Connection with Google calendar: all our company works over google calendar. That was a must at the beginning and we loved it. Once upgraded to pro i asked for google calendar and i was given a download link for a BETA version witch worked perfectly until a couple of months ago. Now no calendar support . The BETA died as BETA with no final version. So another feature wich died . Sent to support an email to ask for the final version but no answer.

    Now we have a simple calendar which can manually export in ical format BUT with much less info on the export than the google calendar function it had in the past. Now the export only came with order ID (no name, no customer info , no nothing. only an ID and a DATE ) completely useless for us. So we are looking to migrate to another solution in the plugin market.

    If you are looking for a really simple calendar , this may be your option. If you are looking for something else is not. And keep in mind what you pay today maybe is not longer an option tomorrow.

    Support was amazing at the beginning . Now there is no support. Even for the people who trusted this plugin and paid 99$ for it.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your review.

    The plugin is absolutely not dying. In fact, I’ve made pretty big updates recently, which might not seem visible because they don’t include new features, but they were necessary for plugin performance and scaling on big shops. This did not allow me to have time to focus on the Google Calendar add-on unfortunately.

    Concerning support forums, they were getting very messy with a lot of spam and many, many pages. So it was easier for me and customers to regroup the most asked questions in a documentation and FAQ. I, of course, still support the plugin by email.

    For the export system, you can customize the exported data. Please check the documentation here.

    Please don’t forget that I am alone to develop and maintain both plugins, and sometimes I have to make choices ??

    I hope you will find a good alternative.
