Great addon! Also very helpful for setting events in GTM.

Great for web. Simple, intuitive and no learning curve, especially if you've used similar debuggers in the past.

Doesn't exactly help in my scenario - I'm trying to piece out what's going on with a hybrid app and it simply doesn't show any event. Works fine on the website, though - although the interface is a bit ugly and could get some extra love.
