### 󠀁[A good start but seems abandoned.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-good-start-but-seems-abandoned/)󠁿

At first this seemed like a great little plugin especially for free. The main problem
are the bugs and the zero support, nearly every question on the forum is unanswered.
It would have also been nice to be able to filter existing posts results rather 
than have to display results from the plugin search. Conclusion if you want something
very basic this might do the job but after a year with no updates ánd not one forum
question answered it’s quite likely to just stop working at some point so not very
reliable.

“Simple enough for plug and play, flexible enough for a customized location search
solution.” No kidding, impressive work.

Thoughtfully built, designed, and documented – AND flexible for developers to work
with. If only every wordpress plugin were made like this.

Perfect! Hope this gets further development! You should name it “LocateWP” like 
your Site

### 󠀁[Very well developed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-well-developed/)󠁿

 [fuchsws](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fuchsws/) September 3, 2016

This plugin has a outstanding code quality and is very well developed! It is very
simple to integrate into existing custom post types and very flexible in usage. 
there are no unnecessary options, just enough to integrate into your existing project
and use the data already existing. works very well and fast! even no need to “hack”
the plugin as many filters are in place. there is always space for improvement and
individual requirements, but it is much better than many other plugins.
