Common Ninja Reviews 164

Corrected my issue quickly through the chat.

Can't get the filter to work so that more than 5 reviews will show. Support is very basic, in that I send details of the issue and they keep sending one sentence answers back! Not useful at all. Basically I've given up with them! Not sure if it's a language issue or something else!

I'm someone with a software developer background but this plugin is just not intuitive, plus the help documentation really isn't good either. Again very basic and lacks detail.

Would love to have used this, but sadly I'm gonna have to keep searching. Currently using Endorsal but it costs a lot of money for what I need, which is why I am looking to switch.

It works great with shorthand. I tried hotspot. But this method is out of the question for me because you always have to have the subscription running.
I prefer the one-time payment (possibly with updates).
Common Ninja is also in trouble because of the GDPR. I can't sell this to my customers.

And what is, if you cancel? Does the widget still work ?

wifget is very good, does its job and has several ways of customization. The problem is that it weighs a lot on the site.

Works great - good tech support - immediate respones.

Very easy to use. The interface is very user friendly, and we've had no issues what so ever. The team's service was amazing, they really helped with everything we needed. Definitely recommended!

Great widgets, great value. The editor is very easy and the customization is great. Very good pricing. I’m new but I can tell the product and customer service will be a great fit for me. If your looking for good tools and widgets to add to your site at a great price than this is where you’ll get that.

Overall great and easy to use! The calendar widget doesn’t transition well when looking at my website from a mobile device is the only flaw.

I was looking for a free comments widget and found common ninja. It was just right for my specs, I edited it and installed on my web site but the comments were not getting displayed. I struggled for a day, trying all the suggestions that common ninja's support guy, Daniel, was giving me, but to no avail. I thought, well, they don't care about clients who picked the free version, I guess. But I was wrong!!! Daniel identified the issue that prevented my comments from being displayed and they made the necessary fix in like 10 minutes. He told me to try again and voila -- the comments are there, I tested and I am very grateful for the support and quality of the widget from Common Ninja!!! Thank you, Daniel.

Don't worry about the 4 star rating as I never think that any service is an absolute perfect 5 star.
Common Ninja was just what I needed after scaling down my site from one of the big (expensive) site builders to Big Cartel which is also what works for me but was missing a few addons which Common Ninja had. Easy to set up. Not overly expensive. Looks great on my new site.
Highly recommended.
Thanks Common Ninja.

I signed up for a trial and cancelled during the trial and yet have been charged an annual subscription just now.

*UPDATE* Yes, I did contact the customer service team, and I was issued a full refund so they have now asked me to change my review, but the point of the review is that I cancelled and was still charged for an annual subscription, which could have very easily slipped in with all my other business expenses and just continued to renew each year. When I cancel a service and receive confirmation of that cancellation, I should not have to chase it further and use up valuable business time.

The Comparison Tables widget is absolutely outstanding and the support team has been extremely helpful and responsive with any questions that have come up. We are in the information industry and this has been a game-changer for our website and business. Highly recommend!

Great widget that just worked. The widget was easy set up and they provided detailed how to instructions install on my Kajabi website.

I'm using the job board widget for our website. It is just the tool we needed to speed up our workflow and manage tasks without contacting our web team every time, and at a great price.

It's great that you can explore the widgets and try them out before signing up and implement and test them before paying.

I run into a few issues already, but the customer support has been great and fast!

Only four stars as i had startup issues, and it's missing widgets like linedin embedding that would have been really usefull for us too.

Easy to use and has a nice design, and fair pricing for upgraded plans.

It was very confusing to get started, even after I paid I didn't know what to click to get started.

google and bing rss items are duplicating many times.

The key to YouTube feeds are the playlists NOT the channel-list. Nobody wants an uncontrollable list of hundreds or even thousands of videos in an entire channel.

The manual height adjustment is not good, now-a-day these needs to be fluid with no scroll bars

Your trial version is very limited therefore these problems can not be known until after people made the purchase.

These guys are so awesome, they implemented a feature request in the matter minutes after my request. Top notch! I look forward to more scripts and widgets from them as it will make user interaction much higher. Thanks again!

I purchased the Google Reviews widget. It's ok, but when I added it to my website I received an alert overnight from Google Search Console saying my website performance had dropped severely. When I looked into this, I found that the Common Ninja script had caused Total Blocking Time on my site to spike to a whopping 4,500 ms. I had a chat with GPT4 and the AI said that the script was likely not well optimised for performance. My solution was to create a custom script, as a container for the Common Ninja script, to ensure it loaded in a different way. Luckily I have some programming skills. If you don't, I don't suggest using this script.

Thank you for having such great products.
