Si Andrews (ID: 00000034c2c725c5) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/24/2023 Been using for a while, perfect for checking latest tweets via the dropdown within Chrome, but for a few days now unable to login to the extension, just states 'Something went wrong'. Able to login to twitter itself fine and other extensions. Trying to find an alternative but not much luck so far. Shame as this extension was great.

Rob Troost (ID: 000000d7ad0f9790) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/16/2020 Error :Unable to contact the server. BEfore was working good

Trav Rud (ID: 0000002941fa0d5b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/30/2019 It's really cool. Much more useful than I thought it was going to be. One small thing: it always refreshes the timeline whenever I open the extension, which isn't preferable to me. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn that off, or to make my Mentions as the main page. So if you added that in, I'd definitely give this five stars.

Guilherme Wiszniewski (ID: 0000009dda43610a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/27/2019 Very good! It would be perfect if you had an option to hide the field for new tweet. It would be a kind of viewer mode only.

Justin Yates (ID: 000000f39b7fe0e8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/22/2019 Usable, but there's an unnecessary bit of empty space between the tweets (in my opinion) and there doesn't seem to be any notification of new tweets.
