 * I’ve used Google Calendar Events successfully for several years.
 * With the update to the so-called ‘Simple Calendar’ it’s nearly unusable.
 * I tried reverting back to the previous version but the new update had made changes
   to the database that made downgrading impossible.
 * I’m very disappointed. I know this is a free plugin and you get what you pay 
   for, but the developers of this plugin don’t seem to have any idea what they’re
   doing. Every release is vastly different both in coding and functionality.
 * Now, with this latest release I find it totally unusable for my needs. I’m going
   to have to start the search for a different plugin altogether.
 * Avoid this plugin altogether.

 * We admit we didn’t take enough precaution here and issued an update that broke
   backwards compatibility a bit too swiftly, and we apologize.
