If you ar not using VFB Pro you are missing out!

by dealerprincipal

I have been using it since 2015 and have never been sorry. AND Bre is probably the best Customer Service person I have ever met. She always sticks to the problem till it is resolved. Good on ya mate!

Great plugin!

by iliebg

This is a great plugin, especially the Pro version - but I am using also the free version on many of my websites and it does the job very well. Thank you!

Add-ons were activated but never worked

by boonubus

I purchased the bundle and haven't been able to use any of the add-ons in the bundle. The add-ons installed and activated all right but never showed in the VFB menu when building a form. I requested a refund and my invoice and no response.

UPDATED response....Three stars now but contact me and it will rise

by phillipm4

UPDATED response.... Matthew Muro has been in contact with me about my issue and he has been more than helpful, I now better understand the system and no surprise to me it was totally my inexperience that was holding me back. Credit where credit is due. I have purchased the pro version and it was easy to get started, but I have been unable to get any response to what i'm sure are simple questions. First - is there a download and/or printable document that would be smart to read relating to the inner workings of the program?? Secondly - I have seen the examples people are showing on the facebook page of the forms they have developed and I really would like to be able to create great layouts similar but due to my almost non existent coding knowledge I am struggling, I have been unable to change much relating to laying out the forms and especially the layout of the emails. As stated I have minimal knowledge but am happy to read and trial and error but feel a little advice on the heading I should take would be appreciated.

Dishonesty

by Danilo Yali

I originally bought two licenses and these were one-off purchases. I am now told by the developer that because he has upgraded the software I need to purchase new licenses. At no time was I ever warned that this may not be the case down the track. I find this very dishonest. When people leave negative comments in these reviews, the developer complains that he has not been given a chance to assist in resolving the issue. I have done that, but I had no response. I explained that it was unfair to purchase the software being advertised as a one-off purchase and that now he wants me to purchase the software. Extremely dishonest and unethical. I have been truly ripped off by this developer. Software is always been upgraded/developed.

Advanced Functionality in an easy-to-use UI

by (songworks)

I was able to create a complex form using conditional logic very easily, with a little help from VFB support. BTW, Pro support is great. They respond quickly and are obviously very knowledgeable! All-in-all a great plugin for any kind of form. I highly recommend it!

Easy to use

by lexingtonprep

Easy to use form builder. Nice add-ons. Quick email support response.

Bug fixed quickly in pro version

by michelle1968

I have a bug in the plugin after the latest update and all the radio boxes are wonky and not inline with the text, so very confusing for clients. I have written to support with my pro registration number but they say I have to pay 25$ for a support account, yearly! This is ridiculous. It is a plugin that I have paid for and the glitch is nothing to do with me so you should at least have a contact page for paying clients who have a geninue problem. -------------------------------------------------------- Updated review: Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for writing back to me so quickly with the solution. I am very happy with your support so have changed my star rating of the plugin to 5*. Kind regards.

Great form builder!

by roi4my

We have been using VFB since the start and recently purchased the developer version and love it. It does what we need it to quickly and elegantly. We use it on both our sites, roi4my.com and wpsitehelpers.com as well as countless client sites.
