Am changing all twitter feeds for all my websites to this! I have tried several Twitter plugins so far. This is the best I have come across 🙂” – @nehavivekpatil “Excellent plug-in. Excellent support. – Excellent instructions and guidance. Patient and prompt support for the newbies. Regular updates. You can’t lose. Thank you Smash Balloon.” – @nuspa “Amazing Support and a Great Twitter Plugin – I am using the free version of this Twitter plugin and identified a real problem in the display on my website. I emailed support and Craig was all over the fix for me. Seven or so emails later (even on a Sunday) the problem was fixed and Craig was still reaching out to make sure all was well.“ In a world of crappy support for premium plugins, and even worse support for free plugins, this kind of support (and listening to customers) that Craig and Smash Balloon provided me make their premium products worth every penny. In fact, I am going to buy them for my next project. They deserve it.“ Thanks again, Craig!” – @kcwebguy “At last a configurable Twitter Feed that WORKS! – I have messed with Twitter feeds on sites so many times only to be frustrated. This Plugin is the best I have tried. Stable, configurable and not too hefty a drag on performance. Well done!” – @mikemac67 “Everything you’ll need in a Twitter feed plugin – We’ve tried a few Twitter feed plugins across a bunch of our sites, and this one is now our go-to favorite. Most of the others we’ve tried have either styling or performance issues, but we’ve been using this plugin for a few months now, and it’s been perfect. There are tons of customization options, the feed looks great, and… it works!“ Kudos to the SmashBalloon team on a well supported, tightly developed, feature-packed WordPress Plugin.” – @laymanlab View the reviews to see what other users are saying about the Custom Twitter Feeds plugin.
