User reviews

While it yes in fact provides a "quick cite" it is wholly incapable of picking up even the most blatant, well-displayed information due to this and the issue of not being able to edit right from the extension it was added, removed, and moved on from in less than 10 mins.

Does not have an intuitive interface and is hard to read. I use WebCite instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webcite/eedcgdapkfgbfdknngcpiphmfifgonji?hl=en
