Very helpful in gathering information to my research since everything is gathered and summarized in one place. Loved this!!!

So far It did not do it's job and extract the data from multiple common publishers. The idea is in general good however there is a lack results it shows. Hopefully, this can be changed in the future but for now it is useless for me.
