I purchased the pro version. It didn't quite do a specific thing that I wanted, so I reached out to the developer to make a suggestion. Within 24 hours the new feature had been added, which made the plugin absolutely perfect for my needs. I'm incredibly satisfied with both the plugin and the amazing support I received. Thank you!
