User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Wordpress plugin for its ease of use, simplicity, and the comprehensive features in the free version, which many find sufficient for their needs. The plugin is praised for its highly intuitive form-building functionality and excellent front-end formatting. Some users have highlighted its integration capabilities with PayPal, conditional fields, file uploading, and exporting entries to Excel as standout features. However, significant drawbacks tarnish the plugin's reputation. Users have reported critical errors, particularly with recent updates, leading to necessary downgrades. The biggest complaint is the lack of support, especially for paid versions, with numerous instances of unanswered support tickets and inactive social media accounts. Additionally, the pro version often fails to meet expectations, with issues like lost entries upon migration, buggy updates, and flawed security implementations.

I used to love his plugin for its features and simplicity. I decided to upgrade to Pro (Developer Bundle), as I provide services to a number of clients. However, I realised that the plugin was no more being updated by the developer, no support is being provided and emails sent to Matthew Muro also did not receive any response. I feel cheated, like many others who have complained about the same issues. WordPress should remove this plugin from its directory, and there should be a way to also inform ICANN (Domain Registrar) about this scam, so that website can be disabled.Matthew Muro is a faculty at the University of Alabama, I tried contacting him on his University email, but to no avail. today, I have written to the University Dean about this.

Throws critical error screen, when I try to create a new form on WP 6.2.2. This plugin is totaal useless. Last update one year ago. Looks like abandonware.

The free version of this plugin is great but because a client wanted to hide some fields I needed to add some logic, or rules as VFB Pro calls it. Might be better to start with another plugin if you plan on upgrading later. First of all the Pro version uses a different table system so all your old entries will be lost, have to back them up because you won’t be able to see them online anymore. The support is zero, I opened a ticket, never heard back from them. When you migrate the forms over from the free version, the required/not required on all the fields has to be redone. And to kick it off, the free version allowed you to choose which columns were displayed when you viewed Entries, the Pro version you have to buy another add-on for that. Really disappointed with the Pro version but loved the free version, it’s too bad they mucked that up.

Plugins seems like deprecated. No support, Facebook and twitter accounts deleted etc. Shame. Still Pro version can be bought, which seems fishy.
