Reviews

what people actually say

What people like

+Easy to set up and get locations listed quickly×6
+Highly responsive, personal support from the developer×10
+Works reliably and as expected across commercial sites×5
+CSV import add-on works well for bulk location uploads×2
+Capable of handling large datasets and advanced use cases×2
