2023-12-09 | Aalyn Antrobus | en | really really good idea and for the most part is very helpful but i am so sick of wanting to do something simple that the website offers but then the page goes unresponsive??? without fail every single time i try to add a comment to something it goes unresponsive and makes me reload the page. it is incredibly frustrating. | |

2023-05-13 | Elizabeth Knight | Excellent app and overall very easy to use. My one major issue is that there's no way to collapse all your topics for a project without manually doing so one-by-one. This is especially annoying with when using the popup sidebar since there's no way to have the program auto-scroll down to a specific topic on your list. I want some kind of "expand/collapse all" command. Also, if you HAVE collapsed some topics and left others expanded for some specific reason, but then load a new tab and bring the sidebar up again, it will still show all of the topics fully expanded. I will happily change my rating to 5 stars once this has been addressed | ||

2023-04-02 | Donel Parsons | This is an extremely intrusive app, and blocks a portion of the screen with its obnoxious button. It also tried to insert itself into anything you highlight. The interface is difficult to understand and even glitches out and forces you to redo stuff. If it was not required for my class I would have already deleted it. When this class is done it goes bye-bye. | ||

2022-11-10 | Will H | A great idea with a lot of potential use, but it has some major bugs which alter basic browser usability in Chrome on Windows OS. Primarily, it can create quarrelsome interactions such as deselecting highlighted text in form fields (as one might to change/modify search terms in complex queries of academic databases). I found these bugs also prevent you from using search -- period -- on services such as Factiva. Due to these incompatibility issues with some essential services, I can't recommend this plugin. I've emailed the developer to let them know, and they were prompt to respond. Regardless, once these issues get ironed out -- especially the ones which break basic browser usability -- it'll definitely be an A+ service. | ||
