Unique But Flawed

I would love to give this 5 stars but some care was not taken in certain areas to ensure that the plugin worked properly. Here are my main concerns that prompted me to disable the plugin. If it weren’t for these issues, It would have been worth a hundred stars in my opinion.

1. The most important issue to address is that your file /includes/master_schedule.php is calling Google API with a non-secure address “HTTP” rather than “HTTPS”. And due to the fact that this is within a function (line 12), plugins such as “Really Simple SSL” will not touch it causing it to remain insecure. It’s an easy enough thing to fix on my part, but when an update occurs, it’s right back to giving users a browser warning when using a secure URL on the site.

2. The widgets that are supposed to display upcoming and now playing shows is not respecting time zones for the visitors and thus only shows the correct information in 1 specific time zone. I can understand how this would be difficult to program (or simply time-consuming) but without that issue fixed, the widgets are quite pointless.

3. No way to really customize the show schedule layout. For example, it’s so plain that when you have a radio station full of many shows, it’s just a huge jumble of text that is hard for visitors to even read. When using your plugin, we had to resort to simply using Google Calendar embedded into that page.

4. Poor shortcode documentation (or perhaps it’s simply lacking some shortcodes that I thought should be there by default). Consider adding a single page with all possible shortcode methods rather than people having to go find the plugin page or your site to get help. Everything should be right there in the plugin itself.

PLEASE reply to this and let me know if these issues are fixed. I would love to give it 5 stars and start using it again. In the meantime, I am simply keeping it disabled (but not deleted)
