| 2025-01-18 |  | | en | Waste of time and money with useless responses. Questioning disgusting and even dangerous hallucinations counts as queries and uses up credits (15 points in one go in the extension). Payment spam is littered all over the UI with confusingly different pricing everywhere. YouTube summary is lame compared to Google's free NotebookLM. Unable to summarise pdf, which NotebookLM does perfectly. Not someone I would trust with my payment details. I have wasted a bit of time to find the option to unsubscribe and have all my date deleted, but it seems such an option doesn't exist. Developer, please respond. |

| 2025-01-17 |  | | en | just another user info scam |
| 2025-01-13 |  | | en | It's excellent but doesn't support Traditional Chinese typing very well. Hope this would get fixed |
| 2025-01-11 |  | | en | Its good, but I almost wished it did a bit less -> felt overwhelmed by the constant surfacing. Opted for GOAT AI Summarizer for now |
| 2025-01-05 |  | | en | Its too invasive and doesn't work a lot of times. Also can't get it to work on PDFs sometimes. GOAT AI summarizer is my goto for a reliable and high quality summarizer, and it works everywhere too. |

| 2024-12-29 |  | | en | When the Chrome Extension is Active, ChatGPT login page cannot be authorized and load. Not sure among all my 20 extensions, only Merlin causes this issue. It took me days to find out that this was the cause. Deleting this real time. Seriously hate it! |
