I have tried many other extensions similar to this one but they never work as advertised. The support for this extension has been superb and I can recommend it highly. It's so easy to use and works wonderfully!
I have tried so many different extensions, but they didn't work like stated. I really like that I was able to start with the free version before I decided to purchase the PRO version. I would definitely recommend and the customer support is really great too. Thank you!
I downloaded and tested several extensions that allow the display of multiple widgets. This one I found to be the easiest to configure. I had one issue that I had with formatting and I sent a private email to the administrator who replied quickly and fixed the issue. I recommend highly.
I have decided to go for the plus version, so I have bought the plugin (honestly, the requested amount was not so high).
I paid with Paypal, I downloaded the .zip, extracted the file I was interested in, uploaded, set up... and now it is working on my website!
Altogether, 15 minutes.
I have just a small problem of layout, but I am going to insert a request int he forum.
I have to say that it worth the money I spent. A easy to use plugin, doing exactly what I was looking for.
Please, keep on the good job!

The idea of something being free is that it will have some level of usefulness in its free form. For a plug-in that is supposed to share your content with social networks, it only serves that purpose if it posts to the most popular social networks, ie Facebook and Twitter right out of the box. This plugin is technically "free" but it serves no purpose without buying the ability to utilize the most popular networks. Its like winning a brand new car only to find out you still have to pay for the engine.

Well you what they say. The best things in life are not always free.
I've tried many similar social sharing extensions and this has been the easiest to use. It's very easy to customize which buttons you want and how they look. The resulting appearance is better than other extensions I've used. The buttons seem to coordinate better in size and layout. Response on the support forum is excellent also. I purchased both the plugin and module versions.
Owner's reply
Thank you for that. I spent a great deal of time trying to get the setup as smooth as possible so that most of the formatting is done automatically.
I had tried a few other similar free extensions and wasted time trying to get them to work.
So I took a chance and purchased the paid version of "Easy Like and Share", hoping that it would work.
I am very happy that the extension does everything that I hoped for.
Many thanks to the developer. :)

...there's still a strange issue: with Internet explorer 8 and Firefox 7, in the category and section view, the google plus button appears just on the first article.
Hope you'll fix on the next release. By the way, the plugin is far better than many other I tried. The performance are excellent and there were no errors on the browser (tested with firefox and IE javascript consoles)

I rarely leave reviews. I think maybe I left 1 or 2. I literally tried 4 or 5 other plugins that were supposed to do what this one does without bugs. In every case the other plugins I tried had some sort of problem. This is the only one that I found that fulfills its description.
I tried out a bunch of these sharing plugins but I could not get them to display in the right places. This one let me put in a code so I could put the links right where I wanted them!
