Megan Oliva (ID: 0000009adf066e30) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/29/2023 It was working very well and i loved using it, nut now suddenly the extension is not working despite refreshing, signing in and out, uninstalling and reinstalling it. I also updated chrome and that didn't fix it either. It was a great tool, hopefully they fix it soon.

Kendra Bridgham (ID: 000000a560952725) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/22/2023 It sadly doesn't work anymore :( it was a great feature when it did work; as sometimes the write in has a hard time picking up the URL. Hoping they get it fixed soon.

Aleasha Hargrove (ID: 000000205d2d9643) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/18/2023 Doesn't work!

icon

Amanda Lopez (ID: 000000fcd3e8abbb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/15/2022 Just installed it, and was able to use it without any issues! This makes adding stuff to wishlists SO much easier! If it was something from Amazon, my wishlists loaded very quicky. Other stores/sites took a little longer, but still worked! You may have to fill in the price manually if it doesn't pull that data, but otherwise, I'm happy with it!

Dean Fraser (ID: 00000044e4c193d0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/30/2022 Would be great if it actually worked. Asked me to log in from the extension, and brought up the elfster site, so I log in and go back to the extension. Still asks me to log in. Close browser/reinstall extension/delete cookies. Still doesn't work. Now when it asks me to log in and i click the link it just says "this page isn't working"
