Fast response
I had a problem with the API being rejected. Although it resolved itself, it was good to see that the Dev responded to my post really quickly! Thanks!

If only all WP plugins were that simple
This is one of the easiest plugins to use and set up. In the desire to add many features, other developers make theirs very complicated and heavy. If you use Gutenberg (new versions of WP), this is the one to install. Period!

Great lightweight option
A great way to get a simple, no-frills, map block up and running in minimum time. It doesn't require jQuery as a dependency, which is a huge plus for theme developers. Some tweaks to the admin UI/UX would be nice, hence the 4 stars, but otherwise a well made plugin.
