Review summary

User feedback largely notes reliability problems: highlights and notes frequently fail to save or persist across sessions, including on web pages. PDF highlighting is problematic or unsupported. A few users feel the latest release regressed compared with earlier versions and express a desire to revert to a previous build, while a minority report it works as advertised and without requiring an account. Overall, persistence and cross-format support are the dominant concerns.

Pros

Works as advertised / does what it's supposed to do.
No account or personal information required to use.
Easy to install and works on initial use.
Some users report it does exactly what it promises.

Cons

Highlights and notes do not save reliably, with data lost after refresh or closing the browser.
Does not work on PDFs; highlights do not appear on PDF pages.
Latest version regression; users want to rollback to the previous version and miss features from older releases.
