Not Believable
For a fake sales plugin it's not very believable when the same names from the same country keep popping up in a row. Needs to have a more extensive list of names from different countries. If you're going to keep displaying John from USA maybe add John B., John A., John M. and so on.

Generates a critical error
Some time ago the plugin was perfect, but with the current versions what happens to me when trying to configure it is: "There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site administrator's email inbox for instructions." I don't know if it will be a particular or general problem, but with the latest versions of Wordpress, Woocommerce and Elementor this plugin does not work.

Pop up products stopped working (gone) after a few days
I put in about 20 fake pop up products, but after about 2 days they all disappeared (vanished) from the display settings admin. Seems like this is normal by design to strip out the data in the free version after about 2 days rendering the plugin NOT WORKING, this seems to be quite a deceptive practice. Why not tell people this upfront? seems like from the lack of any reply you do not want to discuss this.

Expensive
Very expensive for what you get, cheaper plugins are available with much more features.
