User reviews

Users appreciate that Bionify effectively applies bionic reading directly on web pages, making reading easier and working better than similar extensions. However, common issues include the need to manually activate it on each page load without toggle or automatic application, lack of persistence across page refreshes, limited support on some websites including PDFs, and absence of keyboard shortcuts. Overall, it is seen as a useful tool with room for usability improvements.

Works well on most websites tested by users.
Easy to activate by clicking the extension icon.
Better performance compared to similar extensions on the Chrome Web Store.
User appreciation for the overall functionality and effectiveness of the plugin.

Cons

Needs to be manually activated on each page; no option to toggle on/off or apply automatically on page load.
Does not persist bionic reading mode after page refresh; requires reactivation every time.
Limited functionality on certain websites and does not work on PDF files.
Lacks a keyboard shortcut for activation/deactivation, which users have requested.
Some minor issues like tab name changes on specific sites like Amazon when bionic reading is applied.
