Vendor is not responsive.
by Barry·8 months ago
They changed their licensing policy and said that I needed to buy a new license by 7/31, but the page to do that gives a critical error. I have reported the problem but have not gotten a response.
Update – they actually did respond and fixed the problem so I could renew. Rating changed to account for that.

Critical bugs and no response from support
by marbs·3 years ago
Since May 26, 2022, this plugin has been experiencing issues (which can always happen). Unfortunately, the developer is not responding to my support inquiry.
I don’t recommend installing this plugin for safety reasons and a developer who doesn’t care.
