Matthew Sparks (ID: 000000e7882dfa20) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/12/2020 Its overly clunky, it will refuse to work sometimes, it somehow lost the ability to remember my password the interface is poorly optimized, the rest of prepd is great, but the fast catch extension is not worth it\ the worst thing is that it doesn't even work on some news sources, for example, the epoch times, the extension will start working, then error out with no way to get help, their website is no help either. its frustrating

Jay Stubbs (ID: 00000011982db748) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/17/2018 Fast Catch makes capturing and filing articles so easy. Articles can be easily filed in multiple extemp folders making the article more useful during extemp rounds. Fast Catch also makes Congress preparation easy by providing an easy to use capture and filing system specific to the docket you are working with.

Noah Chung (ID: 00000032b575451d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/08/2018 This application is extremely helpful, and aside from that, as you can probably see in the replies below, Prepd has an extremely fast and helpful customer service. It is a great application to quickly store and retrieve articles for any form of debate, although Extemp is the best event to use this application for. Prepd has soo many functions, and a team could literally create their team around this app, because it has so many useful functions. Definitely worth the cost if you get a full account. I had a competition with some other people to see who could cut the most articles, and I ended up with 2001 articles after a couple of months. It was no problem to cut upwards of 600 articles in one day. To get the most out of it, coaches should use the classroom function extensively.
