A Simple But Powerful Plugin
I just wanted a simple plugin to create a directory on my site. So many directory programs are filled with all the bells and whistles, which I just don't need. That always made them difficult to set up and sometimes, broke my site.But Contact List is a great plugin that creates great looking "cards" and puts the information I need into my directory website! Love It!

Looking for a great Directory plugin? You found it!
With the bye-bye to the Connections plugin, I was on the mad hunt for a replacement. I tried 2 other plugins with less than desirable results. Then I tried Contact List. Not only did the plugin perform how I needed it to, but during the free trial period, Anssi responded to my customer support question. WOW!! That's what I call EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! It was a no-brainer to forge ahead with subscribing to the plugin. If you get that kind of customer service during the free-trial, I feel confident a paid subscriber will get the same if not better. I recommend this plugin for those looking for a directory.

A Simple Yet Powerful Plugin
Straightforward and easy to use, this plugin does everything we need and more! We were able to customize the contact list to our liking across a multi-language site. In addition to having a 7-day free trial where we could test drive all of its features, support has been incredibly helpful and quick to respond. Highly recommend!

Excellent PlugIn - Made job very easy
Had tried several plugins before stumbling over this one trying to do the same thing. Tried the free version and bought the plugin within 2 hours, things I'd been trying to do with other plugins were very simple with this one. Great support, provided some help with some custom CSS for an issue I was having. I offered up some future suggestions for improvements which the author seemed very open too so will look to see if they arrive. All in - Great plugin well worth the few $ for the license with some great features, works beautifully across desktop, tablet and phone.
