Kalen Wallin (ID: 000000592fad3c3b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/27/2023 I recently discovered audioread and it has been a game changer for me. I often come across interesting articles that I want to read, but don't have the time or patience to sit down and read them. With audioread, I can simply listen to the articles while doing tasks that don't require active listening, like cleaning or driving. It's super helpful and has allowed me to consume more content in a way that fits my busy lifestyle. Highly recommend!

Mahesh Jawalkar (ID: 00000046afcad056) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/23/2023 Hello Eric, This is a feedback for you. When I got to know about this extension, I was really excited to try it. But as soon as I added this extension, payment window came up. I know you are offering a free trial as well but somehow I lost my excitement for sharing my payment details before trying your product. I would be helpful for people if you can give open trial period for at least 7 days to check if that is helpful or not. After that surely people will fall in love with your product and happily buy it.

T (ID: 000000cfa24b531e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/28/2021 I received an email from their invoicing and payment partners Stripe after installing then removing the extension straight away when it notified me it was a paid service (only advised after the extension was installed). Note I did not sign up to any subscription or provide any payment details. The email came a month after and it stated I would be charged and to ensure the payment details are correct. The email link provided doesn't lead to anywhere I can edit payment details. And the extension webpage doesn't have an edit account or edit payment details section either.
