| 2024-08-18 |  | | pt | Péssimo! Não é funcional e te deixa na mão |
| 2024-07-26 |  | | pt | Não é funcional, ... o que é uma pena. A proposta é super interessante. |
| 2019-09-30 |  | | en | been using this for a long time, it the best period!! But recently i realize a new tap always opens up, refreshes and closes whenever i visit a new page. Why is this happening?? I've update my review. I started losing some highlights when pages refresh. I email support but never got a reply |
| 2023-06-14 |  | | Just doesn't work. Highlighted page then refresh, 80% of highlights are gone, then add a new highlight and refresh, all gone except the last highlight. It only has one job to do and it doesn't do that. Not fit for purpose. | |

| 2023-01-06 |  | | It works pretty good for me, I like it, but it has a feature that bothers me and a bug(I guess?): Feature: I can only find my highlighted pages under the folder of the month. I highlight those sentences because I might want to get back to it later, like months or even years later and I won't remember which folder should I look into - I believe if there would be a folder called 'new' (where the newly highlighted pages go) and if we could make new, custom folders and move the pages from one to another would be a big help. The bug: or I might just be dumb, but after clicking on the "Import" button ('Import your Google Bookmarks (you need to be signed in) into Chrome Bookmarks. This will create a 'Yawas' folder at the root of your Chrome Bookmarks) I lost all of my pages from the folder and don't find it anywhere (as there is no Yawas folder in the root). I am in the middle of a book and had (thank God, 'just') 2 chapters highlighted but now they are gone. | |

| 2022-11-20 |  | | Spent a lot of time highlighting different parts of my book only to discover that most of them are now missing. Most definitely a deal breaker for me, I won't be using this again. | |

| 2022-11-10 |  | | The functionality is good, but seems to occasionally lose a bunch of highlights, even when logged into Crome. 10/11/22 |
