Does the simple thing it needs to do, but is way too present in the admin area. The developer was quick to respond and fix it though, but I already moved to a better alternative.

I purchased the plugin for the ability to play local hosted mp4 videos as the featured product image. There was a slight issue with the autoplay which was solved quickly by the first class support on hand to help. The support for the plugin really is exceptional and worthy of 5 stars. Thank you FIFU!

FIFU is a real life saver, especially if you work with a ton of products and can't host every image locally. It works flawlessly out of the box (with documentation info and compatibility for other plugins such as WP All Import) and it's crafted to pure perfection. Also, mad respect for its developer, Marcel, as not only did he create a truly unique plugin, but is also super kind and helpful whenever you need any help!
