- +Responsive and helpful support team×3

Common complaints

- −Does not reliably override the WordPress Featured Image as the Open Graph image used by microbrowsers (e.g. LinkedIn) (since 5.3.2)
- −Abundance of options can be overwhelming and results don't always meet expectations
- −At least one user reports the developer appeared to have abandoned the plugin and was seeking to sell it
