Reviews

It works BUT….

central4all February 14, 2023

Everytime someones wants to post in the activity, it posts his position, this is not good for some members because it is showing their houses or or or.

It works, but has a couple issues.

Metrotechs October 23, 2021

Can’t add locations with the “&” symbol in the business name (chicken & rice) and it doesn’t add the location to the profile. Other than these issues, it does work.

Perfect!

I was Really sceptic on taking my chances with this, since I couldn’t find much reviews and around half of them were totally ditching. The reason I decided taking my chances after all was seeing that this has been updated only 9 months ago, with the most recent reviews from couple years ago. Setting the product up was as fluent as it could be. I only had to pick up my Google API, which is being used with other plugins too, and as I came to the activity page this was all ready. It found my location exact, the moment I landed the post section, and the only thing I then had to do was to write the beginning of the name or address of the location I wanted to share. That easily even the map was settled for the post I now published! Perfect, just perfect! ^^ Thank You! It’s a totally exclusive service for a free one!

Needs drag and drop location pin for accuracy

johnpurcam August 1, 2020 1 reply

Urgently needs to be updated to modern standards. Need capability to simply drag pin to our actual location. Auto-fill is nowhere near actual location in lesser developed countries

Not working anymore
