Pro Version

Entirely useless. Bait to buy something.

Latest version doesn’t allow me to pick specific categories…

...I just have two "array" instances listed in the category, instead of the categories themselves. I'm also not going to pay $20 in hopes to get something that used to be free.

Good work
