Good

Useful plugin.

Not worth the annoying ads...

By Lu Is (kalimanmx) on October 1, 2025

I uninstalled because the in-dashboard ads and nags are very annoying. Please consider reducing them — the plugin itself is useful some times, but the ads get in the way: you cannot close them.
A real pain.

Nice Plugin

Not working quite right

By pendle666 on June 29, 2025

This plugin is a great idea and does just what I want it to do. But it's impossible to scroll through pages of users, click on 'next' and the error pops up to say I don't have permission to view the page.

Support seems to be non-existent. Raised a ticket to advise the problem and no response. I'm removing the plugin for now.

Great plugin
