User reviews
Fonctionne très bien c'est juste que au début pour moi sa dit (Error: refresh the tab and try again) Mais quand je fait sa je n'est même pas besoin de try again car sa a rename quand même

The names only persist so long as chrome is open. As soon as you close the browser and reopen it, the names change back to default which renders the app useless imo.
