Latest reviews

I usually avoid writing negative reviews, but this one definitely deserves an honest review. I cannot recommend this addon at all—not because of its lack of functionality, but due to the lack support and disorganization. The developer seems to have prioritized cramming in as many features as possible, without bothering to conduct proper QA. The addon is riddled with typos and grammatically incorrect phrases.

If you’re in the market for a reliable social groups addon with excellent support, I highly recommend Dragonbytes addon instead, as he’s also well known for his quality code:
https://xenforo.com/community/resources/dbtech-dragonbyte-social-groups.9176/

As a product manager, I’m seriously baffled by this addon’s poor organization. The menus are excessively long, requiring you to scroll, buttons are scattered everywhere, and the settings are a real mess.

I’ve submitted more than three support tickets without any response and even tagged the developer in other users’ requests. The support and UX are truly terrible.

Thank you for give review. English is not my primary language so any suggestion to improvement phrases I highly appreciate that. I'm sorry for missed any your bugs / issues reported which its does not resolved ASAP.
Very good add-on and the seller is very helpful in assisting issues when they occur. Thank you very much
This add-on is very useful. The reason I give two stars because after I login to my account on his site the site is currently not loading and not responding and I am not sure if he has Discouraged my account or something else. Anyway my connection is working on every website except on his website!.

I have already tried to contact him several months ago but I am not receiving any response from him…!
Decent group implementation... but is still in dire need of improvement. Having a group calendar that has BOTH public and private group view access would be a great enhancement.
As it is, the add-on is purely private for everything or wide open to everyone. That defeats the need of groups that have private internal processes, but may have a public gathering that is not restricted to members. As it sits, I am going to have to look at finding yet one more add-on that will allow the creation of events that the public can see, when it should not be that hard to implement that process in this add-on.
Reported a bug and it was promptly fixed within a week, thank you so much! This is a really awesome addon and has become a core feature of our community.
I used this mod on XF 1.5 for quite awhile. That version was a bit buggy and bloated with extra features. However, since getting the new XF 2.2 version, I am very impressed. It is streamlined, fast, and has been refined nicely, and contains the perfect set of features. Also, even though my old license expired in 2016, I still received a $13 discount for this new version. But I would have paid full despite this. :)
We are using the add-on to organize our esport teams, excellent help from the developer, great design, absolutely recommended :)
The best group addon for XF currently. Good feature set, nice quality and design.
The developer responds to suggestions and fixes bugs when reported.
Recommended.
The author pays attention to bug reports and feature requests, and is constantly updating the addon.
truonglv has made a real effort to listen to the issues, needs and requests from those of us who use this addon lately and I am immensely grateful for all the work he has done thus far and time he's taken to listen to my concerns. My community loves this addon even tho it's taken some time to get it to work properly. Thank you for listening!
