User reviews
Access Assistant is widely praised as a reliable, user-friendly Chrome extension that effectively identifies and organizes accessibility issues, aiding compliance with standards like WCAG 2.0 and 2.1. Users appreciate its integration into daily workflow and the ease of conducting quick tests. However, some users report technical issues such as crashes on Chrome and inability to test unpublished local pages. Additionally, there's some confusion over technical terms without clear guidance unless subscribed as paid users.

Recent reviews
What's up with all these 5 star reviews? This tool doesn't even work on Chrome browser. Keeps crashing and when I hit the 'run' for a quick test, it does nothing. And, what's an AMP URL? How does a user supposed to know that if you are not paid user.

Maria Xavier, 2023-11-20I really wanted to like this tool as it's an excellent idea.
Sadly, it doesn't work for pages that you're editing on your machine that haven't been published yet. I'm trying to make sure my project is in compliance before I put it on the web.
