This would be great if it actually worked.

Not functioning properly at all. Won't allow and save editing.
by Krystal, 2025-02-16

When it works it's great, but honestly the amount of time I spend dealing with trying to get the extension to work properly when it suddenly stops functioning in slides makes me wish I had never invested my time in this system in the first place. Only the fact that all of my activities are already in here keeps me from starting over with a different system
