Gute Unterstützung

Die Karte konnte nicht geladen werden. Es stellte sich heraus, dass die Website bereits eine integrierte Google Map im Theme hatte, die das Laden des Plugins verhinderte. Sie haben mir auch geholfen,

SUBSCRIPTION NEEDED

THIS IS NOT A FREE PLUG-IN! It does NOT belong in the repository! You need a $39 monthly subscription to get it to function. What a scam!!!!

Misleading company and product. 100% not free

not free. should not be on the repository. what a waste of my time.

Great plugin and app – does EXACTLY what they say

Very happy with this plugin. It does EXACTLY what they say it will do. If you can’t get it working on your site, get them to help you. It’s well worth the effort!
