Reviews

Háset 21, 2017
I am very happy with the plugin. The free version does its job in a very clean way, easy to configure and to use. The PRO version is inexpensive and brings a bunch of new options. There is still place to improve (i am missing an alignment to the bottom of the screen and a possibility to import/export settings) but I am definitely recommending it: this is the perfect 2-in-1 solution: is acting also as a facebook like box and also like a pop-up!
