Simple, minimalist and straight to the point. There are not so many confusing settings that usually annoy me! I hope the developer keeps this plugin up to date and most importantly keeps it always so simple in terms of design and functionality.

Excellent plug-in, very easy to use, and extremely powerful. Great the free version, but the paid version – very cheap – is worth gold.
