The Custom Post Type UI plugin is a wonderful asset to the web builders wishing to add custom post types to their websites! I highly recommend!
Reliable Plugin
By 
The Custom Post Type UI plugin is reliable and is constantly updated. The User Interface means I do not have to write PHP everytime I need to edit a Post Type.
Easy to use
By 
I use this plugin whenever I need to register custom post types or custom taxonomies. It is very easy to use.
Essential plugin
By 
Couldn't live without it.
Useless after ACF update
By 
Advanced Custom Fields do the same better and have much prettier design
Mysterious plugin
By 
I did not have any real issues with this plugin until it decided to create an additional and new plugin without my knowledge or consent. When I tried to talk to the developer about this, they simply didn't care or want to get to the bottom of how and why this happened.
Got to the bottom of the mystery, it's just a shame I had to deal with someone that refuses to be help and was rude about it first
Works like a charm
By 
Plugin works as described, does the work well and support is fast. The team deserves 5 stars!

I've used this plugin for several years without issue. It's easy to register and view your custom post types and custom taxonomies, and works exactly as it's supposed to. Support response is very fast and helpful, too.
Great all around, keep up the good work.
