David T.Q. Pham (ID: 0000008f307a9fc4) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/16/2020 Installed the plugin - Opened the file, looked good. Tested saving or printing features but got thrown right into the "Give us your info before you can test any further." - Nope! It's 2020, and if your product is good, people will come back and no need to gather additional information - You could already tracking the IP where the requests coming from, time, date, etc. for marketing purposes...I gave it a three stars for its capability to open the visio file, but decided not to proceed further nor even seriously consider buying the product for backward and frown upon gathering people info policy.
