Very Bad

Worst and useless plugin and can’t update the theme and using the deprecated plugin.

Does not serve the purpose

I’ve installed it and then had to remove cause it did not work as expected. The previous version was way better

by grayfair

Doesn’t provide any service – not even update theme capability
