I am a joomla beginner and have been struggling with many, MANY components and modules over the last year - but this thing is truly one of the best.

Although it was a little confusing at first, I sent Martin an email and within 30 minutes he got back to me. I stopped by the forum and searched for a couple of answers and had the whole thing up and running within a couple of hours.

It installed super-duper easy, looks great and was a cinch to get the permissions to work exactly as described and exactly as needed.

This was truly a joy to find and employ - excellent work!

We got extremely excited to read about this plug-in, but it was short lived.

The plug-in itself is easy to install, looks great, is pretty straight forward - but it does not work when you have multiple mailing lists.

Even though there are options to include the MailChimp list ID - the plugin only sees the first list in your campaign window and adds new subscribers to that list only.

We have multiple subscriber lists and this plugin did not work for us, even after being unistalled and re-installed several times, always without success.
For this reason we have to rate it poor.
Owner's reply

Actually, it does work fine with multiple mailing lists. In the module's configuration, there is a parameter for the list id. For some reason, there are actually TWO list ids for each mailchimp list. The tooltip for the parameter says to look in the url of your browser where you're editing the list and look for the 'id=' in the url and use that id. If you do this you will find that it works just fine with multiple lists. Do NOT use the ID from the html form mailchimp generates to manage your list. If you enter an invalid id, the module will default to the first list, as this reviewer states.

I am by far the most difficult to please, novice joomla user you will ever find. I'm a sales guy doing all of my own development, and in 98 out of 100 cases, these extensions are impossibly frustrating, even with paid support...

This is the best, easiest to use, completely intuitive, professionally supported component we have worked with in two years development. Nuff said.

Get it - you won't be disappointed.

This is a great component. Although still with a few bugs, the developer is rock-solid in their response and offers support I have not found on any other joomla extension. Most times you post something in a forum and hope and pray the developers might get back to you... these guys do and usually within the day, I don't think they ever sleep.

The component has a very clean and easy admin panel, uploading is a snap and looking at the upgrades to come, this one is well worth the investment.
