  • Maps and Locations not optimal

    Initially, I was quite pleased with this plugin. It offers a map with the ability to automatically map the user to their current location. It's also fast which is another major point for my site. Still, there are issues that make using the plugin on my site difficult. First, when OSM is used as a map, the displayed map cannot be moved by the user without the page automatically triggering the display of one of the classifieds one entered previously. Second, the location options are tied to the address field. If I don't want to use the location drop-down, I also use the option to enter any location at all. I would appreciate it, if these issues are worked on for future releases.

  • Poor transition to custom location and category dropdowns

    You have included new custom designed location and category dropdowns with no means of backward compatibility with previous versions.The search box in these dropdowns is not required if you only have say 4 entries. Whats more they don't even automatically close once the user has selected an entry. What made you think that every site wanted to transition to these dropdowns? How can you get rid of the search box and get the dropdown to automatically close once you have made a selection? Why are radio buttons forced on everyone, what if I don't want radio buttons to keep the controls consistent with my existing custom fields dropdowns? seems poorly thought through.

  • Unable to personalize

    Impossible to customize the appearance, not even the color and size of the texts. Really a shame for a Wordpress plugin, in 2024! And the pro version (which I bought) does not offer more possibilities.

  • Excellent Customer Service

    I am extremely pleased with this software and the support received. Although there is a time difference of when we are working, I submit a ticket during the day and see an answer the next morning. Sanjiv has been incredible during our implementation process. I highly recommend this company and their software.
