### 󠀁[Not free – every image wants a $29 fee](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-free-every-image-wants-a-29-fee/)󠁿

I will change my review if someone can show that this is not a clickbait “error”(
I’m being kind). Every, and I mean EVERY image I have tried adding to my library
a popup appears that says it is only available in the Premium version, for $29. 
I have not found one “free” image yet, even though that is how this is advertised.
Very misleading. Developer, what says you?

### 󠀁[Plugin updated, is great, best image plugin in 2020!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-do-not-use-it-2/)󠁿

This is a really good plugin. As promised, I am changing my review to good when 
the plugin was updated. You can ignore all the content below. Thanks! ————- I completely
changed my mind about this plugin. I was recommending it and now I can say that 
it is DANGEROUS. It only works for post featured images. If you INSERT the image
in the blog post, it will HOTLINK pixabay, and your photos will disappear from your
post after a few days. Now I am updating hundreds of posts after all my images are
gone. Why on hell would you hotlink pixabay? why you do not warn people about it?
Thanks for making my weekend a pain.

Not usefull. Picture is inserted for one day (happy) and two days later the picture
is gone.

The concept of leaving a good review for a product like this is a double-edged sword.
On one hand I can’t say enough about how phenomenal this plugin is; on the other
hand, you might be starting a website that’ll compete with mine, and you’ll get 
to benefit from using this plugin, making a portion of my life miserable. I’m tempted
to leave a one star review to put people off from getting this plugin. But that 
would be unethical. I bought both the Pixabay and Pexels pro versions. Both are 
phenomenal.

### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-12995/)󠁿

Many of the other “find and insert free images” plugins are buggy, I tested them
all. Some work, some are buggy. So far this one is one of the best ones. Easy to
use interface. Works on multisite installations. 6 stars!
