Compared to commercial products this is tough about looks and feel and learning time.
It would be great if there were video tutorials about the use of the features of the component.
Last thing is about the time (very long) it takes from the set of a feature (menu item creation and so on) in the MosQ administrative panel and the time it affect the frontend.
The best point of all is that this component is free.
Thank you.

When the menu item created it should show immediately unless your host has some kind of caching going on.
This product is open source and the whole documentation is come as a working sample so I welcome everyone to help to improve the documentation in the sample just edit what you think that could improve the product and send me the enhance and will be include in the future release with credit to your contribution.
Thanks

This component was exactly the thing I am looking for.
However the documentation really needs to be proof-read by an English native speaker. I would recommend putting it in a Wiki so people can add/edit/contribute.
The tool itself is very powerful once you understand how it works! Great job!

If you or anyone would like to contribute to the documentation effort then I would be happy to create a Wiki for it. Please let me know.
Thanks for your insightful feedback!

Getting the simple queries to work takes but a few minutes.However trying to understand the more advanced features is not easy.Some demo screen shots or some understandable documentation would make this component and bot one of the best around.

This component is a little tough to document! Would it be possible to provide a little more specific so I can make some improvement in this area?
Thanks
