The free version does its job in a very clean way, easy to configure and to use. The PRO version is inexpensive and brings a bunch of new options. There is still place to improve (i am missing an alignment to the bottom of the screen and a possibility to import/export settings) but I am definitely recommending it: this is the perfect 2-in-1 solution: is acting also as a facebook like box and also like a pop-up! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/02b009b0db70ee1bdd683baaa12ca0ac4e42ded172274b7293725c576e58841a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-2861/)󠁿 [kuzry89](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kuzry89/) September 3, 2016 Good job!
