I used this for a while for personal use and was happy with it. However, it seems like other people that work at my company also started using this and it automatically put us all into a "team" where our go links are automatically shared. I didn't love this but it wasn't a deal breaker until today it said I needed to upgrade because there are more than 5 people at my company that use go links (even though I don't share go links with anyone else). Every time I wanted to use a go link it would upsell with a 10 second countdown which completely defeats the purpose. I'm switching to a simpler alternative for personal use.
