Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons


Nothing banner after banner sliding in asking if you want this and that.  Nothing but a crap plugin lasted 30 seconds in my site,


Annoying and Spammy


So since it keeps on pushing me writing a review, while I just wanted to deactivate one icon, so here goes: If you're looking for a plugin that puts social media icons on your site, wherever you want it, and add share buttons to your posts, this plugin will do it. But it will constantly remind you it's doing that. 



The settings page is terrible, it tries to be easy to use for non-technical users and puts all the setting on one page, wizard-style. Which is fine for initial configuration but if you want to change anything afterwards it does take a while to find a particular settings in this colorful candyland of a settings page. Why is every radio button 50px high and the buttons 50% of your vw? Why is the font so big? I don't know but you will surely train your scroll finger with this plugin. 



Bottom line: it does what it says it does, for free, mostly. It will constantly try to upgrade you to the premium version in the most annoying ways possible. I'm going to replace this as soon as I find something better.


Does the job but terribly annoying and messy


Horrible plugins that takes the option to deactivate without a reason. I don't like these plugins.
