Installed easily and worked on test first go. Displayed error "Email address entered is not valid, DNS resolution failed." when using a fake address. Real address goes through without issue.

Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

By DoNotIgnoreUs on April 7, 2017

Doesn't work so unable to review. No matter what I did I received "Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0" every time I attempted to test a Contact 7 Form until I deactivated this plugin.
