STAY AWAY! Paid version sucks too

Look, I purchased this plugin under the expectation that it would work, which it DID NOT without some real effort, that’s the minor problem.

Here’s the real big problem: The features that I needed, for which I specifically purchased this plugin, had some bugs and needed some updating, which I informed the company about. I’m sure by now, judging by their changelog, they’ve fixed the issues and included the much-needed updates with their software that I specifically purchased with the reasonable expectation of it working as stated. Except you have to have an expensive, unnecessary subscription to update.

So I can’t update my plugin, even for the simple fixes that should have been included with what I PURCHASED because they wanted me to buy a membership at somewhere around $25 a month (or they offered me a whopping $100 a year “deal” when I raised this concern to them) if I wanted to actually update my plugin.

So they sold me a $20 plugin that lacked certain necessary functionality for which I would have to pay $20 per MONTH if I wanted to stay updated.

They also include an obnoxious ad that you can hide, but just keeps coming up, with their plugin that begs you to get their expensive membership for which it’s hard to understand the value, and specifically SHUTS OFF certain functionality if you don’t have the membership. So in other words, to make matters worse, they blackmail you with walled functionality just for a pingback to their subscription.

Their free one is junk, their paid one is subpar and cannot be updated unless you want to REpurchase what you already purchased for minor improvements, and the advertisements that they feel justified in sticking in YOUR wordpress administrative backend are intrusive, obnoxious and annoying.

Stay far away from anything WPMUDEV. Worst $20 I’ve ever spent.
