If you’re in the editor and the button text is invalid or there’s an error it will
look as though everything is okay but when a user loads your website and the bar
appears the button will go to the developers website and not the link you chose.
They opt to promote themselves shamelessly instead of giving a more postive user
experience or giving insights on how you can fix the error. SHAME!

[EDIT]Nevermind the below, it might very well be my environment. The authors responded
quick and launched an update within hours to try to help, even if they couldn’t 
duplicate my issue. Impressive. As for the tool, it does what it is supposed to 
and is relatively easy even for my clients to use.[original]The review nag is so
persistent. The hashbar works as expected. Easy to use, not too fancy, doesn’t cause
me any trouble. Based on the nag alone, I’ll avoid this plugin for other sites.
