# Max control but buggy

 * (Initial review:) Love the extra control of category lists and the ability to
   choose which categories to show and which to hide. The upgrade allows even more
   options, including CSS, which my native theme does not allow! Would like to see
   the option in the future to have the CSS for this plugin default to the theme’s
   CSS for sidebar widgets. Other than that, all good!
 * Update, a few days later:
    Gradually, my site loading got slower and slower, 
   particularly as I began to take advantage of the Custom CSS feature in the Pro
   version.
 * The first thing I noticed was that the Custom CSS sometimes applied only to the
   widget, but sometimes, it had site-wide effects, which is definitely NOT what
   is wanted.
 * The second thing was that there did not seem to be any access to CSS for the 
   list (categories) elements.
 * I contacted support, asking for the default CSS settings, but despite the promise
   of “Faster support” for the Pro version, I have not heard anything back… nor 
   from my very first support enquiry. So, two enquiries, no answers.
 * How do I know that this plugin caused the site to slow almost to a standstill?
   Because, when I finally removed it completely, after first trying to simply reinstall
   the widget and after then simply deactivating the plugin, neither of which corrected
   the slow load of the website, everything went back to normal, i.e. the site is
   now loading correctly.
 * I would have welcomed some feedback and support from the author of this plugin,
   but this was not forthcoming, so I had no choice but to reduce the rating and
   give this update.

      Reason: Bugs became apparent after using the plugin for a time
