It is a promising plugin, but it’s likely not as battle- tested as it should. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c86d50243a34e1ab8890e767d084c7eccea8b2b6ee9e5aaa9952a3dc48feeab5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[good plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-5873/)󠁿 [Komanda](https://profiles.wordpress.org/komanda/) 15 พฤษภาคม 2022 1 reply I liked this plugin [ Read all 2 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/device-detector/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Device Detector” is open source software.
