I tries to use it with jquery version 3.1.0, jquery ui 1.12.1, angularjs 1.6.8 and it did not work right. It worked after upgrading to jquery 3.3.1. The documentation should be updated to specify a higher version of jquery.
I think that something is wrong with your setup since the examples found in README work fine with jQuery 3.1.1
