I thought this might have been it, but there are two many problems.<\/p>\n<p>(1) You can&#8217;t customize the icons without emailing them to the developer.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Users can select more than one reaction button at the same time. So basically, the user can select Like and Hated on the same post. Silly.<\/p>\n<p>(3) If the viewer clicks a button indicating that he hated your page, the plugin still prompts the viewer to share their feedback on social media. Why in the world would you want a viewer who hated your page to say anything about it on social?<\/p>\n<p>(4) The customization options are very slim. You have to work directly with the developer to do them.<\/p>\n<p>(5) The plugin counts Administrator and Editor activity as page views. For example, during one edit session, we racked up 175 page views even though we were signed in. That&#8217;s going to skew the results.<\/p>\n<p>(6) The dashboard kind of sucks. You can&#8217;t remove stale pages\/posts, for example.<\/p>\n<p>The worst part is that a paid subscription is about $85 US per month. That is insane. Emojics offers many times more functionality and flexibility for a 10th of that price.<\/p>\n<p>This is an alpha product. The developer should be giving away the paid subscriptions until it&#8217;s a full developed product. It&#8217;s no where near ready for prime time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-10063469","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/10063469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/10063469\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10063469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
