This plugin has the start of something really great, unfortunately it seems the author does not value continued development and so many bugs and simple features that are missing will likely stay that way forever. For example, there should be a simple way to edit the text in email notifications, as well as form submission notification text, from within the plugin settings. The English is very bad and so the text MUST be changed, but the authors solution is to use a translation plugin, instead of building some simple notification settings into the plugin. Another example is the short-code; filter and sort functions are missing entirely from the shortcode options, these should be standard features. There are also several bugs that will likely get chalked up to the users theme and so thus will go unresolved. For example when a front end user submits a listing the 'Category' setting is not saved, and the GPS location is not generated, forcing an admin to spend time adding these imperative details to each listing. There should also be a faster way for admins to approve listings, instead of having to go into each listing individually, there should be a bulk action or quick edit for approvals. As I said before this is a good start, far from a 5 star plugin.

Hi mummetech,
Thanks on your suggestions, very valuable and always considered.
We working on improvements on daily basis and many new features coming, so statements like that we "not value continued development" is completely unfounded.
Of course you can't expect that we will reinvent some features that already exist in wordpress and are nicely implemented like translation. If you need help just open support ticket and we will help you, or if you know some better solution please provide all details and will be considered to implement.
Filtering features/Search forms shortcodes exists and are nicely documented, basically [swprimarysearch] , also can be used with visual composer and Elementor support cooming.
Related to category and GPS, please contact support, we will be happy to help you. Probably google api code (used to detect gps coordinates by address) is not configured properly or address entered doesn't exists.
Bulk activation don't have sense, because you should check what visitor populated before approve. But you can enable auto-activation instead of bulk.
So if you still have any issue just open support ticket and we will do our best to help you, even if you don't have time to read documentation.
If you are not satisfied with our plugin you can also ask for refund.
You are welcome!
