Best support I have ever had
My problem was quite a thing, making the plugin work with my Wordpress theme of choise - Newspaper. The support team really went beyond their ways to help me, and now everything works. See the plugin in action at judoroland.com

Love the support - great plugin
Easy to install and nice way to showcase my events. After some changes from FB's side I had to re-install the plugin and then needed support as I am unfamiliar with coding and such. The support team was super swift and professional and sorted the glitch, so now everything is running great again. Recommending them 100%.

Great customer support!!
I was trying to authorize this plugin with no luck. So after a few emails back and forth, one of their support reps actually scheduled a skype call with me where he solved my problem through one screen sharing session. Great service!!
