User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin Postie for its ease of use and the ability to post content via email, especially in situations with intermittent internet access. It helps users save time by allowing them to send updates without the need to directly log into WordPress, making it highly practical for those on the go or with varying technical skills. The plugin is praised for its flexibility and customization options, including support for attachments and formatting emails as desired. However, some users find the setup process complex, especially with certain hosting providers like GoDaddy, and others are concerned about the cost of necessary add-ons for more advanced features. Additionally, while most reviews commend the support and timely updates from the developer, a few users encountered issues with email integration that led to lost emails or connection problems. Overall, the plugin is highly recommended for its functionality, security, and support.

Works great for me and I really love it! Helps when I’m at home where there’s poor cell signal. I can compose posts from my phone and put them in email outbox. When I drive for errands, I wouldn’t have time to blog, but there go the posts. Thanks SO MUCH for your hard work in making this available and keeping updated.
