Great Plugin – Excellent Support!
by kbrazz01·4 days ago

Hi, I recently purchased the pro version of this plugin and it was very easy
to set up, I had a minor issue that I wrongly thought it came from the plugin
itself or the map provider, thanks to the awesome help from Matthew Lau, I got
to the bottom of the issue which ended up being the theme style sheets. without
his help I could have spent a week trying to pinpoint the source of the issue.


Thank you, I give it 5 start because that all it allows.

Great Plugin, Even Better Support!
by ankash·1 week ago

The plugin is solid, does exactly what we need, and feels genuinely reliable.

What really stood out, though, was the support. I recently ran into an issue where a map marker wouldn’t load properly, and Matthew from the support team jumped in quickly with a clear fix. He provided custom code and step-by-step guidance, and the problem was resolved without any back-and-forth frustration. The plugin is now running perfectly, and our new map is set up exactly how we wanted.

Matthew was patient, thorough, and easy to follow as he helped me by customizing a few things as per my requirements. Overall, it’s a great plugin backed by genuinely excellent customer support—definitely a five-star experience.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

Great plugin and great support!
by AtDevep·2 weeks ago

My go-to plugin whenever I need more customizable maps. The support is top-notch, too. Thank you!

Really great support from Matthew Lau!
by janetctn·2 weeks ago

Matthew Lau helped set up our new map exactly as we wanted it. Since the plugin was new to us, we had a lot of questions and he helped to solve all of them.

It’s just…bad.
by alxhrrs·2 weeks ago·1 reply

To begin with, any time you save your edits, it reloads the home screen…I mean, really? Customizations barely work, scripts don’t work and it’s confusing heck to use. For context, I do most things in native and try to use as few plugins as possible, so it’s not like I’ve never navigated development before but sure, maps are a little much for me. Anyway, this is the first plugin I’ve ever actually paid for in 15 years and…wow, what a horrible first experience. That’s why I am so disappointed, because I basically paid for the ability to simply add as many markers as I want; the rest of the functionality is somewhat useless if you want anything more than the default. A photoshopped image of a map and markers would give me almost the same result. If the developers reach out and fix things, I’ll change this review.
