STOLE MY MONEY DO NOT INSTALL THIS EXTENSION I renewed my app and it does not work, i did NOT receive my new license key and it DOES NOT WORK on 80% of the websites I use it for anymore!! I keep trying to reach out to them with the email address they provide with the invoice and they DO NOT respond, provide support and NEITHER fix the problem.

Sonia Rouleau, 2025-01-16

THIS DEVELOPER STOLE MY MONEY I paid for this service MONTHS ago and it is asking for a product key, which I never received. The ONLY option to contact the developer is to post on the Support Issues page, and there are several other people with the same issue, and ZERO replies from the developer. I also tried using the "Give Feedback" option to report this to Google, and have not received a reply from them, either. I even emailed the developer initially, when they sent my payment receipt, because the extension was still asking for a product key, which was not included on my invoice OR payment receipt. I NEED SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY!! At this point, the developer has fraudulently taken money from me, and I would like: A) Google to contact me about this and tell me why there aren't safeguards put in place for these types of issues with Chrome Extensions, and why having developers provide an option to contact them isn't REQUIRED in order to sell things on the Chrome Web Store, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING there's no option to contact Google in ANY WAY when we get ripped off by a fraudulent sale B) A full refund C) EVERYONE TO KNOW THE PAID VERSION OF THIS EXTENSION IS A SCAM I suppose if leaving this review doesn't get me somewhere, then I'll be forced to call my bank and report the transaction, as well as the BBB and/or FTC. This is ridiculous. It's been MONTHS. You can't even formally complain to the Chrome Web Store as it only allows you to "flag an issue", and none of the choices the flagging gives you is: "This extension/developer RIPPED ME OFF." Sucks I have to even give one star in order to leave this review.
