Bad Documentation and NO SUPPORT

cartagus July 5, 2019

I used the plugin and had for many times this not user-friendly alert (Bad Response from CarQuery API.The service may not be available at this time.) I decided to purchase the data from the developer but he didn’t provide any support and docs didn’t cover data integration. I submitted more than 8 support tickets without any reply ?? )

Bad documemntation….
