Great plugin - One thing you should add is...

I really like your plugin I think you should add more field, like if we need to collect more info invoice number...etc or a way to add custom field Thanks

Terrific plugin

By rosweed on July 25, 2018

Once I got it set up, it is working flawlessly. Thanks for this, and I hope you continue updating this because I'll definitely use it again. Matter of fact, I would pay for a premium version, but please, don't make it a subscription.

Really love this one

Always love Fatcat Apps plugins as they have high quality. And this one is no exception!

Great for a viral marketing campaign

When running contest campaigns this plugin makes the job so quick. I can just copypaste their shortcode into a page and the landing page for the contest is ready. Email collection is done for you along with IP information for the participants. Highly recommended!
