Beth Roberts (ID: 000000cffd1e9313) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/26/2024 Worked like a charm for one piece of work, when I went to use it for a new one when pressing the extension it looked as if it would never load in the cite section, nor would it 'Add to list' from the extension. I don't know what has gone wrong but it is so frustrating as it is amazing when it does work!

Enrice Salomo-Brunet (ID: 0000000b47159a06) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/11/2023 Wir nutzen das Tool bei unserer OM-Agentur für einen Kunden und seit dem bin ich so gehyped von dieser Erweiterung 🚀! Auch wenn es ab & an mal nicht zu 1000% richtig ausgibt, so erleichtert mir diese Zitationshilfe enorm die Arbeit bei der Contenterstellung. An dieser Stelle MUSS ich auch die Seite https://www.scribbr.de/ hervorheben und kann Sie besonders Autoren von Fachartikeln, Studenten & Content-Creator sehr ans 💙 legen. Enricé (Lajesuz) ein Marketing-Mensch :D

Jelle Alkema (ID: 00000047cd548d1e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 Very useful, but extremely annoying that it overlays a small icon on the bottom left of the screen that can't be removed (easily)

Karl Fanega (ID: 0000008085ffb8f4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/13/2023 It does what it's supposed to do. Hope I can edit the citation myself in the future though via the extension. Overall, it's amazing.
