User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Listly plugin for its ease of use, versatility in formatting, cost savings, and its ability to engage viewers and provide backlinks. They find it particularly beneficial for integrating Listly lists in WordPress and managing content without extensive UI development. However, notable drawbacks include the need for a Listly account, additional costs after creating three lists, ownership issues, and performance impacts due to CSS/JS loading on all pages. Some users are frustrated with embedding lists externally rather than directly on their sites, and others are concerned about features they don't need, like automatic tweets and certain UI elements. Improvements in the plugin's flexibility and integration could enhance user satisfaction.

I am a huge fan of List.ly and use them all the time on our three WordPress sites. This plugin makes it even easier. I would recommend checking them out for sure!

The plugin seems nice until you install it and you have to pay after you build 3 lists $9,99- per month, and you don’t even own your lists, so you have to pay them and you give them your content so you’re stuck with them, useless, your better of building your list by hand then have some third party busines blackmail you into using their service (or else you lose your lists)

Installed this, had to sign up to Listly to get publisher code, then realized I have to create my list on Listly’s site and embed. Don’t want that. Uninstalling.

I was able to ditch my web server and save a lot on UI development and AWS costs thanks to the Listly plugin. I’m loving it.
