Both times when I needed support, Konrad was quick to point out the cause and provide detailed explanation and solution. The plugin is awesome but what stands out is the support quality. It gives me confidence in continuing to use the plugin.

|After great support I realised my mistake not understanding the full extent of why the plugin settings caused me a few issues. I am now giving this plugin 5 stars, but would like more tutorial videos for novices like me please – which is a bit greedy considering I am using the free version 🙂
