User sentiment analysis

Users of this WordPress plugin appreciate its ability to restore the link manager feature that was previously part of WordPress. They find it straightforward, easy to use, and effective in managing and organizing links. Many users are satisfied that the plugin works well with various WordPress versions, including the latest updates. It simplifies the process of adding, deleting, and categorizing external links, making it invaluable for websites with extensive link management needs. However, users also highlighted some drawbacks. Some reported issues with the plugin being outdated, lacking an uninstall option, and causing problems when upgrading WordPress versions. A recurrent issue was an inability to disable certain features, like the rating output, which some found unnecessary.

Does what it says on the tin, and lets you categorise and organise links. If it was not for this nonsensical ‘rating’, and especially the output (a number value), which cannot be turned off, this would be 100% the plugin I require. Can this be fixed?

This plugin needs an uninstall option. It’s out of date and not working/needed.
