First of all thanks to the author for the great effort! I couldn't ask for more from the free version of the plugin. But to become paid user I would like to see a pair of features: support for blocks instead of widget, it's just impossible to use language switcher widget in WP 6.3.1 with Twenty Twenty-Three theme support for flag images in SVG format I haven't found any other downsides to the plugin, it works really well.
