| 2024-10-31 |  | | en | Paywalling accessibility for disabled people on a tool that *used to be completely free* is horrendous. Also, your tool is just not even good enough to be paywalled lol An alternative is WaspLine Reader, but it's also not very good, so still, 🪦 BeeLine Reader… Edit: Oh and, reading through these other reviews, apparently the developer or his company are stealing money from people. I'm not even surprised. Regardless, BeeLine Reader will be known as an example of how NOT to publish accessibility tools (and, btw, how not to respond to criticism about it — no, dude, "free" access to only 3 sites is not acceptable — which I completely forgot to mention in my initial review; if I recall correctly, you can see it in his Reddit AMA replies). |
| 2024-09-12 |  | | en | it doesn't work with notion. that makes it useless for me |
| 2024-06-20 |  | | it | NON FUNZIONANTE. |
| 2024-01-03 |  | | en | Is this another one of those extensions that works well when it does work? I have wasted one hour now and can't get it show where I need to click for it to read something - oops, I just realized it does not have a read aloud option. Why on earth not in this day and age? |
| 2023-06-01 |  | | Constant "go pro" notifications that can't be x'd out of are far more distracting. the only options are "go pro" or "maybe later" which i friggen hate that i can't just say no, i will never pay for a chrome extension so i refuse to press maybe later as if thats going to change my mind, so im just uninstalling this. | |
| 2021-06-15 |  | | en | Stopped working with the update April 2023. I click on Beeline Reader in Chrome and it just spins and spins and spins |
| 2023-02-06 |  | | I used to really love this plug in because it helped me read with ease, but it no longer works with Google Docs and PDFs opening in Chrome. So disappointing, and I wish I would have known that before paying for a monthly subscription. | |

| 2023-01-11 |  | | I like the idea but as a student, I cannot pay this much. There is an education discount but i assume that's for schools to buy for their students? Isn't there a possibility for me to get a discount as an individual student ? | |
