You could make finding the licence number of our product easier to find, eg, tell us it won't work with your phone and the download is in the library!!

Hi Martin,

I hope you're well.

I'm sorry to hear this!

You can find the license by clicking the three-dot menu and then clicking 'Show license' on mobile.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to download via mobile.

Thanks for your feedback. I will pass this on to our Product Team to take into consideration for future updates.

Kind regards,

Awesome site to find the plugins you need

I love using Plugin Boutique as all the plugins I need are listed on the platform and I don’t have to go to each individual site to find the plugins I want. And all the plugins are in one place. And it is awesome that you always tell you about the specials that they have.

Great place to purchase music plugins

I have been using Plugin Boutique for years. They have a great selection & sales monthly😉 I also appreciate the bonuses you get with your purchase, free plugins, dollar amount that you can use on your next purchase or let it grow for a future purchase. The website is very well laid out & it's easy to find what you are looking for.

I’ve had a very positive purchasing experience. The process was simple, and so far everything has worked correctly. I really appreciate the deals they offer, as they make high-quality tools more accessible at better prices.

I also value the support provided during the installation process; although in some cases the information could be updated or made a bit clearer, overall it was helpful in getting everything up and running.

Overall, it has been a good experience, and I hope to continue using their services in the future.
