WD SMart Ware - are they updating their app?

my external hard drive doesn't work anymore as it says the developer has not updated their app to work with mac os 11.2.3. What do I do?

Remove the WD Software as per Developer Instruction. Time Machine Backup in Big Sur required the drive be formatted as APFS to function - HFS ( Old System File - does not work
