Waste
There's no point in using this unless you plan to pay. They won't show you entries with the free version, had I known that I would have never installed it and wasted my time with it. Ridiculous honestly.

Plug-in just works and when it doesn't support are there!
I've been using the paid version of this plug-in for a while and it is worth the money in my view. Plug-in itself is very user friendly and when you do have an issue support are usually quick to respond and provide helpful advice. 10/10 as far as I am concerned.
