I am not a fan of this extension. I've been using Mturk for going on 10 years and do not see how this really made things any better for me. My settings would not save, everytime I clicked "turking guru settings" I had to put them in fresh all over again. Every time I went to a different Mturk page, it would make me click "start turking" all over again, so I have to leave the tab open and do nothing but even still, an hour in and it has not accepted a single HIT. I made my settings pretty lax to start, but nothing has happened. Assuming it starts working, I would give it 3 stars instead of 2, but the settings not saving/turking not staying on is not helpful. This is not something I would pay for, especially until the errors are worked out.

Amazing extension. I consistently get high paying HITs. Easy to use and great customer service. It greatly increased my earnings

I've only used it for 2 days and both days I've made my daily quota plus more. The monthly fee is worth it when I can make twice as much as I used to. There are times it is a little slow, but it picks eventually. I do hope they fix the duplication of hits when I return them, or I don't like them. I've had to return so many because of the same ones.
