iTunes Review by mintdave from USA on May 2, 2015
John and Marcus, you guys have a fantastic show. Unlike any other. I have a running list of plugins I need to try, all of which I learned about from your show. You really do save tons of time by highlighting plugins that I might have never known about. I also appreciate how you briefly cover the latest wordpress news in the beginning as well. Keep up the good work! If I could put in one request, it would be for you to add a page on your website that lists the top 10 or 15 plugins by category. Because as time goes on, the plugin recommendations you make often get lost in the pile. But if you had an ongoing ‘Best plugins by category page', it would help a lot, since it is harder to go back through the archives and find recommendations from way back. But other than that, fantastic job! Thanks for all of your work!

WP Admin Bar Mover
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-admin-bar-mover/
Fix your headaches with the admin bar overlapping your fixed top nav or distorting your layout while logged in by moving your admin bar to different locations on your screen or making the admin bar transparent. Choose from multiple positioning features such as right side, left side and bottom positioning for your admin bar. You can also set the WordPress admin bar to be transparent until hovered, giving you a better vision of the site overall. Get the benefits of a logged out session while logged in and making changes!
This plugin also supports responsive views of the WordPress Admin Bar for mobile views. Note that the hover transparency is intentionally disabled for screen widths under 782px due to lack of hover states on most mobile devices.
