Rated 5/5 Stars on WordPress.org

Real reviews from real WordPress professionals. 4 out of 4 reviews are 5 stars.

"This plugin will be particularly useful for various developer tasks. It helps you remember which plugins were active before you start troubleshooting. Also handy for doing an audit. I also like that you can customize the contents of the CSV export."

"Perfect plugin to quickly export plugins! Does exactly what it says, and is ideal when working with a client where I need to review plugins in Google Sheets. A very useful feature — the CSV report includes 'stealth' plugins which are hidden from the WP Admin Plugins list. Ideal to catch hidden plugins from previous developers."

"Good plugin! I had a suggestion to add a field for plugin slug — and the developer actually implemented it. Great responsiveness and a very useful tool for managing plugins."
