HORRIBLE DO NOT BUY

By mlpsapcom on January 26, 2022

This plugin is crap. We bought this to replace a free plugin that is no longer supported. Tried for days to get this running and looked like something out of the 1990's. Replaced it with a [another form plugin] and it is responsive and modern. When I went to there site to make sure I did not get charged for another year the site was done.

Support? You bet!

By physalis on August 16, 2021

My customers bought three of their add-ons for this plugin. And despite them being entitled to support, WP Reloaded only responded once, submitting a bugfix for an add-on we didn't buy, and after that never got back to my countless e-mails regarding bugs and inconsistencies in this plugin and the add-on plugins as well. If you look for a solid plugin that does work and your business depends on it, better think twice.

Never worked

By danielle101587 on January 20, 2021

I would give this product 0 stars if I could. Never worked since it was purchased. Was not able to submit applications. When registering, the user is not sent an email. The user needs to reset their password after registering just to access their account. Additionally we paid for the Applicant Tracking Add-On which was never able to be utilized since applications could not be submitted. What a complete waste of time and money!

Superb, Effective and Light

By fornaij on August 17, 2020

Super Lightweight and Nice Plugin with excellent Support. I gave it a 4 out of 5, because of 2 reasons which i think would be fixed in any of the coming updates: 1. There's a small bug while posting an ad at the back-end, The "Ad Feature" refreshes and discards the ad feature data after editing a published ad post. 2. A Front-end ad submission form would be an excellent feature for community based sites. All round, It's a great, flexible and useful plugin for a variety of applications.

Superb plugin

By tousifkop on May 8, 2020

Plugin works great.. and support team is also good and fast in replying. Recommended.

Great plugin, really easy to use, no idea why there are negative reviews.

By teamk on May 2, 2020

Happy to pay the extra for the captcha functionality :)

Total Crap

By falconreid on April 27, 2020

I'm lucky in that I managed to get the addon for half price. I should have tested the plugin before buying the addon. This plugin is barely functional. I tried to add a paragraph as part of an application and once I added it, it would not let me move it or edit it. I could not move/rearrange any of the fields around. I have tried several other application and form builders and by far this is the worst in terms of drag and drop ability to design a form. The only reason I tried it is for the PDF export capability and since I can't even get the MAIN plugin to work, I have no reason to continue on.

Highly recommended

By ehaantech on June 21, 2024

I recently had the pleasure of using the ApplyOnline plugin for WordPress, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations in every way. This plugin is a game-changer for anyone looking to streamline their application process and manage applications directly from their WordPress site.
