| 2024-12-11 |  | | en | Was great for a week, then I suddenly can't view anything during peak hours without paying. Absolutely useless and I'm not prepared to waste my money just to read things during peak time for free. I recommend downloading Paywall-Free Reader instead. They aren't forcing you to pay anything and the articles seem to have more chance of being archived than on spaywall. Sorry but I'm out. Adios Spaywall |

| 2024-08-21 |  | | pt | Para os sites que tentei usar, não funcionou. Talvez seja somente para sites americanos. |
| 2024-08-15 |  | | en | Totally worth it, I have access to way more content than if I didn't have Spaywall. It's so annoying when you don't have a subscription to the thousands of news and magazine sites (when ideally it should be free after a while but that's another rant). I currently use it on Arc Browser (which uses Chrome) and it works very smoothly. One additional plus is that when activating the Spaywall extension, it allows you to view that content unrestricted across your multiple devices if you have synced accounts - at least for me it does. Great service! |
