I was initially drawn to this directory plugin on AppSumo by its value proposition, which indeed holds true. As someone familiar with the costs associated with directories, this plugin caught my attention.

Overall Impressions: The plugin is solidly built with good functionality, making it a reliable choice for a directory plugin. It includes several extensions, allowing users to pick and choose the ones that best fit their needs. Additionally, the plugin comes with themes created by the author to aid in styling, which is a nice touch. The drag and drop builder is great and well thought out.

Pros:

Functionality: The plugin works well and offers great functionality for directory purposes.
Extensions: It includes several extensions that can be selectively used.
Themes: The inclusion of themes helps with the styling of the plugin.
Export/Import Support: It supports exports and imports, which is a useful feature.

Cons:

Customization: The plugin lacks extensive options for color customization, though it does offer options to stylize location categories.
Documentation: There is a noticeable lack of documentation in some areas, but this is being actively addressed.
Compatibility: For those with existing directories, there may be compatibility challenges. I ran into challenges I was unwilling to resolve do to my current working use case.
Community and Development: Despite some initial activation challenges, these have been resolved, and there is a growing community around the plugin. This community aspect is beneficial as it allows users to contribute to the plugin's development, which is a rare and valuable opportunity.

Conclusion: For those looking to develop a directory or in the early stages of building a website with directory capabilities, this plugin is a great buy. However, for users with existing directories, compatibility issues might pose a challenge. Overall, the plugin is well-built, structured, and supported by an active community, making it a solid choice for the right users. After using and setting, up, it's not for me. It is close though. I give it 4 tacos. For my use case it seems to not be as effective as I would like it to be in its current state. I will refund based one that. As with most Wordpress solutions, it has to work with your intended goals.
