I would like to thank Alex for this great plugin. I had a problem and he fixed it in a few days. Very good support.
I had a problem with this plugin which turned out to be my version of PHP on the server. I gave the developer login details and he logged in and fixed it for me on a Sunday.
I don't mind paying for a product like this and the support with this one far exceeded my expectations.
Thanks a million

This plugin is exactly what I needed, and it makes the sobi features more complete! I have spent money on other plugins claiming to do the same but I've been very disappointed with their features after trying them out. However this plugin does exactly what is says it does, and the presentation is great! All in all, I'm very glad I finally found this plugin, especially with the great support provided and very reasonable price, in fact it's the cheapest favourites solution for sobi I have seen, but the best i used too =D.
This works like a charm - There may be other similar plugins offering this feature but this is nice and simple and includes both favourite listings and favourite searches with a easy to manage administration of the favourites.
There was a slight issue with the SobiSEG plugin but this was resolved by the admin within 24 hours as he is active in his support forum.
And for only $10 it was a bargain
