AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Simple Floating Menu is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Menu category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 38 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Simple Floating Menu works
Show full descriptionShow less
Simple Floating Menu is a free WordPress plugin that puts a floating sticky menu of icon buttons on your site. Each button gets an icon, a link and a tooltip, and the whole bar can sit anywhere on the screen.
It ships 5 icon packs with more than 12,000 icons between them, and you can add as many buttons as you like. Place the bar in any of 8 positions, run it down the side of the screen or across it, pick from 9 button shapes, and set the tooltip type from over 1,400 Google fonts.
Everything is set from one screen with a live preview beside it, so you can see the bar change as you work.
