 * I have relied upon the previous version of this plugin heavily and it has allowed
   for a tremendous amount of customization. However, the new updated plugin is 
   horrible, in the following ways: (1) It no longer shows on all pages that the
   older version did. (2) It only shows me one-third of the pages on my site so 
   the two-thirds of my site is left out. (3) It is oversimplified. I have over 
   200 pages on my website. They took away the search function. the complaints here
   are on a simple 20 page website. (4) Other controls removed. (5) I am now looking
   for a different plugin. This plugin went from a favorite to a liability. Very
   poor decision making around this plugin. I am done with it.

 * I did not see any support threads from you. How come?
 * To clarify on your points:
 * 1.
    The most recent major UI update was released over 3 months ago, but it did
   not change the way sidebars are displayed on your site. You can still display
   sidebars on every single page very efficiently.
 * 2 and 3.
    In the sidebar editor, you will automatically see the first 20 pages
   in alphabetical order. If you want to see more, just type a keyword. This can
   also be read in the FAQ.
 * 4.
    What controls have been removed?
 * 5.
    You are of course entitled to your opinion, but your claims about the plugin
   not working are not true, and as the (only) developer of this plugin, I am honestly
   dissappointed in this review.
 * If you want to give it another try one day, do not hesitate to open a support
   thread here: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/content-aware-sidebars](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/content-aware-sidebars)
