Team Showcase
https://wordpress.org/plugins/team-ultimate/
The Lowdown:
This plugin is one in a long list of team presentation plugins and it looked to fit the bill for my limited needs.
While this plugin had some great promise to begin with and seemed to be working well. I found that it was not presenting all the information properly on the site and was unable to get it working correctly. I really wanted to give a fair shake and since it was a freemium plugin I was considering buying the premium version but ran into issues on the devs website as follows. I had a hard time locating their contact form which I finally did and after a week have not heard back from them.. I could not even locate where to purchase the plugin on their site. I did send the below email to no response.
Plugins issues
Their website is lacking in many things including functionality just to send a contact email.
So where is the Pro version of your Team Ultimate plugin
Well I was really interested in the pro-version of the Team Ultimate plugin. I kinda like the way it was working for the most part but was having some issue with display I though your pro-version might solve..
let me know if you have it soon..

Customize your Google Maps to Skyrocket your Search Engine Rankings with WP Nearby Places
WP Nearby Places lets you easily create Google maps for your website with your specified location at its center. Your site visitors will have the ability to quickly search what's around your specified location like no other mapping plugin, using the power of Google maps. WP Nearby Places also uniquely breaks down neighborhood locations by categories, such as “Restaurants”, “Parks”, “Police” and, depending which version you purchase, provides the locations’ name, address, URL, website address, phone number and distance (in miles or kilometers) from the central location. There are 3 versions available: Basic (which is free and available through WordPress.org), PRO and Premium (which is offered here). For details about ALL our licensed versions that are available, including our exciting Add-ons, go to https://members.wpnearbyplaces.com/shop.
SHOW-OFF YOUR NEIGHBORS BY CATEGORIES
Featured Neighbors – The most exciting feature is the ability to feature neighbors on your website and in your maps of nearby places. There are places in any neighborhood where they are the “main event”, the main attraction of why someone would travel there to that neighborhood. For instance, a Starbucks nearby is the main attraction for a lot of neighborhoods. A winery, a park, a famous restaurant…

MailChimp for WooCommerce
https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/
The Lowdown:
While getting to the finishing point of a Woocommerce project I was looking for an easy way to connect up the MailChimp system. This plugin fits the bill perfectly it's even developed by MailChimp and made the integration of the newsletter a breeze and has some added bonuses we are working though getting fully integrated such as emails for recovering abandoned shopping carts, you can set up post purchase follow up emails, related specials and more..

WooCurrency
https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocurrency/
WooCurrency is simple. You select the currencies you want to use on your website, the countries for which you want to sell on that currency and you’re set!
Rate changes are recovered every day through a web-service so that prices on different currencies are allways accurate.
Your customers, based on their IP address (ipv4 or ipv6) will see the product on the currency of their country. If their country hasn’t been selected in WooCurrency, the default WooCommerce currency will be used.
