I've spent about 10 hours in the last few days trying to figure out the best solution for Directory/Review listings. This soars so high above every other option out there that they can't touch this component.
This is by far the best addition to Joomla I have seen.

I discovered SOBI2 only one week ago, but I can say that I am very pleased to work with it. You can modify it to develop your own custom theme, or if you are a beginner it has everything integrated to be able to use it in your way. Nice work and by deepest respect for the developers that made this (and made it free). Keep on going with this and I hope to see future developements.

The title says it all - and to think it is provided free! This is what opensource programming is about! (user of this component since Oct 2007)

The template system is very easy to modify. Masses of available styles allow different look and feel. The installation is for dummies. This component attracts all levels of users from beginners to advanced programmers.

I was looking for Directory listings which has Multiple sub Categories in it for my client. my search ended when I found SOBI. It perfectly meets my requirement and the installation was painless. I thank the SOBI team for developing such a good component. Keep up the Good Work ;)

This is a FANTASTIC component. It provides multiple RSS feeds, is easily configurable, and it's free.

I needed a module that allowed me show businesses in a way that allowed many different payable fields. I was surprised that there were also other great options in this competent that I could allow my customers to use. The community is also really great as well. I started off by posting questions and would get answers fairly quick. I got involved and started to help make SOBI better.
