Can also easily be used as library. Anyhow: A bit more of documentation and examples
on how to use it would be nice (e.g. how to retrieve the custom meta fields).

useless, what use is this plugin without instructions and some example code? if 
anyone has an example code let me know and I might be able to use it. Also, how 
do I put zero stars on this review?

Works perfectly as a library in a theme. We appreciate the very light code.

### 󠀁[It works… but there is no clear way to show the custom fields on the front end](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-works-but-there-is-no-clear-way-to-show-the-custom-fields-on-the-front-end/)󠁿

I understand this is just a library plugin, and it is indeed very easy to add custom
fields to the admin menu items, but without some kind of guidance on how to extend
the Walker navigation and display your new fields on the front end, the plugin is
limited unless you have a fair amount of experience in php. It is unfortunate that
there is so little guidance in this regard, and the information on the internet 
and in the codex makes for some pretty hard reading. The plugin is a nice starting
point I think, but is only worth a 3 star rating because it is so difficult to actually
use. A few examples of how to use the fields on the front end would make it worth
4 or 5 stars. In particular, I would like to add custom attributes to my links by
using the custom fields, which so far is proving to be quite difficult.
