User reviews
Une excellente application;
I had a small issue a couple weeks ago where it stopped refreshing.
Ended up I had to clear the local storage and then refresh the plugin.
(Dev Tools -> Local Storage -> chrome-extension://foo)
Bit of a PITA since Chrome only lets you clear the local storage one key at a time.
