  • Horribly poor support

    I was close to paying the extremely exorbitant price for the Pro version ($210). Due to a problem with the plugin, I contacted support. I can only agree with the bad reviews online, support is terrible, or more precisely, non-existent! At least it saved me a lot of money!
