Rhys Ulrich (CrazedGamma1721) (ID: 000000a22f57836f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/23/2023 Very Much Love This App. Wondering If This App Will Also Be Added To Opera GX That Would Be Awesome.

Justin Breeze (ID: 000000218fa59aad) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/24/2022 As others have mentioned this hasn't worked as well with Picarto as it used to since they updated their website. However, I'm still able to see the number of followed streamers online on the extension's icon, and clicking does still tell me which specific ones are online. If that's all you need from it, like I do, then it works pretty well for that!

Ian Serna (ID: 00000039d4db09c6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/02/2021 Stopped working after Picarto's new site update as others have said. Unfortunate as it was the best way to keep up with who was streaming, I'm not a fan of the email notifications personally. Hope it becomes functional once again in the future...

Jam Kat (ID: 000000780c8c9007) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/24/2021 Used this Extension for the longest time, but unfortunately it no longer works with Picarto's 2021 March Update. Would use again if Dev fixes it to cooenct to the new 2021 update.
