It works well. Very limited in options, but it does recognized custom posts, so that is why it immediately gets 5 starts (plus it works as described).

This plugin is absolutely brilliant – and I’ve used it successfully to output “Recently Viewed Products” – on an eCommerce site. I have only encountered one potential issue (it could be a conflict with Storefront Theme, not sure..?) – and that is that when used as a Widget (as is the case here) the surrounded DIV tag doesn’t appear to close properly (???) – resulting in any widgets that FOLLOW this one being adversely affected (e.g. smaller text – following on from that set for the Recently Viewed widget). Unsure if a widespread issue but it has meant I’ve had to have it as the final widget, whereas ideally I wanted it up top! Aside from that minor issue this is a superb plugin and one that does exactly what it says it will.. with minimal setup needed! Thanks and kudos to the authors.

Great plugin, lightweight, works perfectly and it’s easy to apply some custom CSS to the output. Support from the developer is outstanding! Just make sure you don’t have a server-side caching system (like Varnish, for example), because it may interfere with the cookies that are needed in order to display the post list to each user individually based on their visits. Other than that, works perfectly. Thanks for making this great plugin!
