🗣️— Word of the Month

Great plugin with great support!

I bought the TPA premium as I saw it was pretty feature packed and I heavily use Elementor for all my projects. Bear in mind, I am a regular premium plugin buyer so its not something new for me to get my hands on premium plugins. What is rare, is if I continue using a plugin for long term basis. TPA definitely made it to my list. I had a little glitch with the implementation of one of the widgets and the support helped me out patiently. Support replies pretty prompt too and it provides assurance that I’m in safe hands. This is very important especially since I handle some really large and critical WordPress websites. Highly recommend!
