Question about Accessibility plugins

I'm working with a company who is developing a site (using Wordpress) and
their developers installed the "Userway Web Accessibility Widgit
<https://userway.org/>" and wanted my opinion of it.
Now I have my own opinions of "magic bullets" that you can just "drop this
in and your site is accessible", and I've seen a couple of them over the
years and have yet to find one that I would include in any site I was
developing.
I also did some searching for feedback on the Userway widgit - one from "A
Bright Clear Web
<https://www.abrightclearweb.com/the-userway-web-accessibility-widget-does-it-boost-accessibility/>"
had both good and bad comments about it, and there was even a question on
Quora
<https://www.quora.com/What-do-you-think-of-accessibility-widget-like-userway-org-Do-they-help-small-sites-to-be-adhere-with-accessibility-laws>
about it.

But I want to get some real expert opinions from this group before I tell
the customer what I think.

So, anyone out there with any experience (both good and bad) about the
Userway widgit???

TIA.
