Great plugin! Other Social Networks (YouTube, Google Plus, Pinterest, Instagram)
in “Social Link Options” would help.

### 󠀁[Very well designed plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-well-designed-plugin/)󠁿

This plugin does exactly what I needed (a “Coming Soon” page for non-logged-in users
while a new site is being built), and it does it very well. I particularly like 
that it offers some easy-to-use settings that allow you to customize it in a wide
variety of ways without being overly complicated. I had it installed, activated,
customized, and working in under 10 minutes. It even has a built-in ‘preview’ viewer
so I can see what it will look like before I ‘flip the switch’ to enable the Coming
Soon Page. Nice!

### 󠀁[Plugin crashed website on launch](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-crashed-website-on-launch/)󠁿

 [rikclaessens](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rikclaessens/) September 3, 2016

I had configured that our website should go live automatically on a fixed time. 
However, the plugin somehow failed to remove the countdown page and the whole website
basically crashed. Deactivating Launchpad didn’t work, disabling the plugin also
didn’t work. I had to remove the plugin, which took a lot of tries since the website
was unreachable most of the time. Then install it again, and only then it was fixed.
Honestly a terrible experience with this one.
