Full of bugs that make it unusable
After purchasing the Pro version I spent months working with their development teams trying to work out bugs. The latest version of the directory either randomly replicates directory entries or, if you enable the setting to delete duplicates, it deletes not only duplicates but every list item in several of the lists. While it will probably take me hundreds of hours to switch to something else and get all of the listings re-entered I cant justify wasting any more time trying to get Simple Business Directory with Maps working.

Great support
I have been receiving great support from Jamil at QuantumCloud. General response time is about a day. They've assisted me on several issues concerning my WordPress theme template and the plugin UI. I'd recommend this plugin!

I am So very Happy with this plugin and support!
I've been using QuantumCloud plugins since July 2022. I'd like to take this opportunity to share my opinions of their product and service with those of you who might be considering their plugins (or themes). I started with their "Simple Link Directory" (SLD) plugin for a client website that wanted to have a local business directory. The plugin was just what I was looking for. It provided a clean, attractive layout that showcased the many businesses. It included all the basics - name, address, phone, website, email, social media links, and their hours of operation. The layout I chose (they actually offer more than a dozen different, unique layouts to choose from) featured a place to show the thumbnail of the website (or Facebook profile). Another thing that is really helpful and saves time is that you can enter the website address and click a button to auto-generate a thumbnail and fill in the basic information. Even though I chose to do each entry manually for my client, the ability for the auto-generate feature is greatly appreciated. What I particularly enjoy is the option to enter a detailed business description and add pictures or videos of the individual business. This is something the local businesses really enjoyed because it allowed them to customize their presentation. It's one more way for business owners to promote their business in the vastness of the Internet. I want to mention that you could also set up your directory using a "subscription-based" protocol, where a potential business can pay for a listing. I don't utilize this option, but I can see where it could be a good choice for some websites. So, if you've read all the way down to this point, I think you understand that I really like the plugin and its performance. Here's where it takes a different turn. I was developing another website and was introduced to another QuantumCloud plugin. This one is called "Simple Business Directory" (SBD). Even though this plugin is very similar in operation to th
