User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Presto Player plugin for its ease of use, seamless integration with services like Bunny.net, and the flexibility it offers for displaying video content on WordPress sites. They commend its clean design, ease of customization, and the ability to remove YouTube branding with a simple setting. The plugin also receives accolades for its reliable performance, helpful customer support, and the value provided by its Pro version. However, users cite some drawbacks, including the lack of certain features like pausing videos with the spacebar, limited free version functionalities, inability to work with multisite environments, and lack of GDPR compliance. Additionally, there's dissatisfaction with constant review requests and some performance issues on various servers.

I found this plugin while looking for a cost-effective video handler. It is easy to use and the video training on the site is VERY helpful.

A friend of mine, was actually the first person who reviewed Presto Player on WordPress.org many years ago. This plugin is a gem, it is not only easy to use, but is loaded with features and they keep building on it more features. I have tested, over 5 other YouTube Embed Players, and I can tell you for a fact and based on real world testing that Presto Player is the Fastest WordPress YouTube video embed player on the market. Not only that but it is also among the easiest to use since others are complex in the sense that they require you to obtain API keys to use them. It pains me very much to see people leaving poor reviews because they expect to get the Premium version for Free. I just don’t understand how they want people to give them a product for free where if the tables would be reversed, they would never offer to work for free. People have to put food on the table, if you want an extremely well functioning plugin. I am sorry you have to pay for it. Also one more thing, and I will try to put it lightly in this second attempt for this review. I really really hope, this Plugin maker, does not sell to awesome motive, when they come knocking on their door.

I saw this being pushed by the author as I watched quite a few of his WordPress tutorials and to be fair, he’s informative and helpful. He mentions Presto Player pretty much all the time so I thought I would take a look as I’m looking for a comprehensive play that offers at the very least, a Thumbnail, Subtitles etcThe strapline used to describe this ‘free use plugin’ is comedic … “The Ultimate Video Player For WordPress – by Presto Player” Are you kidding? It offers very little by way of functionality whatsoever?! Compared to other players such as FV Player, Presto Player offers very little by comparison, so the video player competition out there has nothing to fear. What you see is less than bare minimum, everything else such as it is, is ‘Pro’ which is fine, he has to earn his money, but seriously, it is awful! The GUI experience is poor? I was looking forward using “The Ultimate Video Player For WordPress – by Presto Player” but was very disappointed to say the least. Suggestion … Take it down, go back to the drawing board but this time, research what the competitors are offering in terms of ‘free version’ and ‘pro version’ and implement, at the very least, basic functionality. And before deciding to make such outlandish claims of ‘Ultimate Video Player’ – which currently is mostly certainly not – just call it ‘Presto Player’. Then, send it to testers in the real world who have video websites, admins who know their stuff. Get their ‘user’ experience feedback, impliment suggestions and THEN launch it! Constructive feedback which I hope helps .. 🙂
