This tool is amazing. It is very easy to set up and it has made the lives of software engineers and QA testers that little bit easier. My main usage of the extension is to view the app version (urls) of the Telegrap App. Definitely recommend.

I initially had a little trouble and uninstalled, I was given a quick survey upon uninstall and they actually offered a customer support call over zoom/google meet the next day. I honestly had doubts it was real but the VP showed up, solved my difficult issue and I'm extremely impressed to say the least! 5 stars fully earned and I will be pushing for my team to embrace this tool as there are other excellent uses it provides beyond my issue as well.
