User reviews

The software is brilliant, just this chrome extension requires reinstallation multiple times a day, quite frustrating. Been an issue for many months, hope it gets fixed as it has been a recurring issue as is evident by the other reviews from the past months.

Constantly says add-on is not found even when it is installed and all settings enabled. How do we fix this? Help!
