Simple easy to use

It's easy to use but wish it wouldn't refresh so often, difficult to make changes. Another drawback the social media options are not up to date.

Can't get this plugin to actually work

By harrisbueller on November 18, 2018

Unable to get the plugin to take over the site and display a launch page. The success of squarespace is inversely proportionate to the insane hassle it is to create a simple splash page with wordpress, it's themes or plugins.

Не отключается плагин:(

Убрала галочку, а на сайте продолжает висеть страница заглушки. В чём может быть дело?

Ok, but needs improvements!

First of all the plugin does what it should do, BUT: - If the plugin is active you are unable to edit the main website using the Customizer, because it redirects you to the coming soon site. This breaks the whole usage of the plugin, because i want to work on the main site while i'm using the coming soon plugin. - The plugin content depends on the theme which is active. If you modify your coming soon page and then change the active theme, all changes on the coming soon page are gone. Please fix these problems. For the first one try NOT to overwrite the Customizer. For the second one please add an option to specify which coming soon page is shown independent of the active theme.

Typical "free" WP junk

By rickchapman on June 6, 2017

Mailchimp "integration" incomprehensible. You have to climb into the MC code and cut and paste OUT a code snippet. Tried several variants, none worked. Who has time for this? Skip this. It's free and you get what you paid for.

Fantastic product and support

Very easy to install, and modify to your liking. 5 stars.

Simple 'no-fluff' plugin which looks great on mobile

By Sourav (k.sourav92) on September 3, 2016

This coming soon plugin has exactly the right number of features I need to get the message across. The design is pretty elegant, looks great on mobile and works seamlessly with MailChimp.

Kudos to the developers!

Fantastic pugin and support

By carisafari78 on September 3, 2016

I am using this plugin with the Genesis theme for 2 of my websites as coming soon subscribe now pages and i couldn't be happier. The plugin is easy to customize and the developers have been so amazing with any questions i have had and any help needed. i cannot recommend this enough 🙂

Improvements not! Existing good feature got removed.

By Joel (DigitalCandyMan) on September 3, 2016

Great plugin.. but you removed the call out button and replaced it with a Mail Chimp button.. WHAT IF.. I don't use MailChimp and just need a call out button link for something else?

Please add back the generic call out button.

And it also resets itself back to default after about 12 hrs.

I guess you get what you pay for.
