## Review summary

Users largely praise its simplicity and usefulness when working, with a playful customizable text feature. However, the majority report it no longer differentiates paid vs free verifications and is effectively useless after Twitter's changes (domain shift to x.com and app updates). Additional concerns include broken functionality and permission/domain restrictions.

### Pros

- Works as intended and is simple to use.
- Extremely useful and cool.
- Customizable text for humorous highlighting of blue checks.

### Cons

- Cannot differentiate paid vs free/legacy verifications anymore; now all statuses appear paid.
- Broken by Twitter changes and the x.com domain shift; not functioning.
- Site permissions are limited to twitter.com while it needs x.com, causing compatibility issues.
- Stopped showing who pays or who is legitimate after updates.
