User reviews
This is the best tool for use reduce time consuming.
The concept of this chrome extension is incredible and possibly the solution to my biggest problem - if it worked as expected. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but when I right click and scroll done to "Scrape similar..." it doesnt give me any results that I can copy and the "Query" field is "a" no matter what I choose to scrape.
I tried to look for a contact section where I can get in touch with someone from the team who may be able to provide me support, however, found none. Is there a support email available?
