User reviews

I am a dyslexic university student. In theory, this is amazing. However, on my computer it did not work. I could not use it on Google Docs (and as that is what I write all my assignments on, that's an issue) and made a lot of websites not useable as images would grow to be partly off the screen.

Visor extension is much faster and better, works alike

This app helps my dyslexic son do more internet research on his own. Not relying on me to constantly help him navigate the web pages he visits for homework. Thanks!
