User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the plugin for simplifying the subscription process on iTunes and Android, significantly reducing the number of clicks needed. It’s deemed especially valuable for podcasters, providing a streamlined solution. Additionally, users find the plugin author to be helpful and patient, offering prompt assistance with any issues, even if they stem from external factors like server problems. However, a notable drawback is compatibility and activation issues on certain WordPress versions, causing it to trigger fatal errors. Users also expressed a desire for customization options, such as changing the plugin's color to better fit their brand. Overall, it’s a beneficial tool if these issues are resolved.

UPDATE^2: Okay, this is definitely a helpful plugin. Before this app, I was having trouble with it taking too many clicks to get to subscribe on iTunes; and trying to subscribe on Android was just a mess. Very cool solution, and plugin author very helpful and patient with issue which ended up being on server. I wonder if it’s possible to change the color to the typical podcast icon purple, approximately #8A27E7 …? Thanks again, chemiker, and I would definitely recommend this plugin to podcasters who face a similar issue. I will be giving it some love on this week’s episode for sure. ————— UPDATE: It appears that the problem may be Bluehost not running PHP 5.4.2…and the author responded promptly…so raising the rating immediately to 3 stars while I researcg and hope to do better soon. This should be pretty helpful if I can get it to work. ————————— Would love to see this work (and don’t mind updating the rating if it works), but it wouldn’t activate on 4.1.4 or 4.2.1. message: Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in public_html/[my domain]/wp-content/plugins/podlove-subscribe-button/podlove.php on line 33
