Simple Feature Requests Free – User Feedback Board

Nice and simple way to track feature requests for our plugins. It could do with some extra features like the ability to set the page/slug but the pro update adds most of the extra stuff I need. 

Great job! Recommended. 

Simple and Easy


As I write this review, I’m giving one star for a simple but serious reason. I can’t understand why any developer would expect people to pay an outrageous $169 just to unlock guest voting for visitors without a user account. That’s just wrong. If it’s my site, I should have full control over my data and let users vote or post freely. I tested the free version and honestly, it’s solid but disabling guest voting is a dealbreaker for me. That’s why I’m leaving one star.
