google-places-reviews

It should be simple like add the key and short-code to the page. Who needs this??

This plugin didn't work for Google Reviews and the other one available got me more trouble than anything I could expect.

"Google Places Reviews makes it a breeze to..." NO. To actually use it you have to read the documentation, that's like reading a manual, you shouldn't have to do it. No mention on the plugins page in the backend (Settings > Google Reviews) that you can use widgets or shortcodes, or that shortcodes only work/exist in the pro version. And the widget doesn't work, it says: "Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details." (yes, i did get and add the API key) I used it on 2 sites successfully before (last year), but i guess that's over now. Don't waste your time with this one.

I didn't end up going with this plugin since it doesn't offer a slider view option, but I did interact with support -- and it was very helpful. Matt even made an instructional video for me. Worth giving this plugin a try if you're looking for this type of widget.

Maybe pro version works...highly NOT recommended. Total waste of time.

I had an issue with the plugin I could not figure out. I sent in a ticket and got a response within hours. They went out of their way to troubleshoot this issue. It turns out a caching plugin was causing some of the plugin CSS to not load properly. It wasn't even the plugins fault! They sent me the fix and it works great. Thanks!
