AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Author Default Category is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Post category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 1 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 Author Default Category works
A basic default category plugin.
The main purpose of this plugin is to provide different default categories on a per user basis.
I was looking for a plugin to set a different default category for my flickr posts (through XMLRPC API).
And there was no built-in function to set a default category to a particular user.
This plugin is very simple :
any author can set it’s own default category (user can edit_posts)
any admin can modify an author default category (user can edit_user)
anywhere in WordPress a user get it’s default category where applicable : posts, API posts, … except in the writing settings page
