| 2024-12-24 |  | | en | This deserves an award! Love the PDF viewer with AI features. Best PDF viewer I have ever used. Wikipedia is also much easier now for learning quickly and deeply. This is the best example I have seen for integrating AI with what we do already. |
| 2024-08-29 |  | | en | I've never been able to log into this no matter what I try, and it is so utterly garbage if you don't have an account. Requiring an account for a simple extension is also ridiculous, but I digress. The page just infinitely loads when I attempt to make an account. It probably has to do with the enforced captcha that only has text loaded in. Fix your website. |
| 2024-06-18 |  | | en | lets you search THREE web pages per day. service is slow, and the idea of it is an invasion of privacy. |
| 2024-05-20 |  | | en | Locus has made *significant* improvements since the beginning of 2024 and I'm excited to see them build momentum. I was able to easily navigate a scanned 60+ page PDF to find the relevant sections pertaining to the 3-5 topic areas that I care about. This is such a breath of fresh air compared to locating a term in a table of contents, scrolling to it, reading it, then scrolling back to the table of contents, then scrolling back to another page where the key term(s) are formally defined. |

| 2024-01-14 |  | | en | lacks function to highlight just the synonyms, instead of the entire sentence |
| 2024-01-11 |  | | en | Locus is very useful for reading and searching long documents. Keyword search is hard to remember exact match with longer documents but with locus I can just use natural language which is much easier. |
| 2023-12-13 |  | | en | I like him a lot, he is too kind |
