Prateek Vasisht (ID: 000000df87b02103) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/15/2020 Was great before but does not work now on Medium.

Eugene Nadyrshin (ID: 000000a20a0db710) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/08/2020 Doesn't work, constantly keeps asking to sign in on Play and Medium but just goes in a never ending look. Looks like it's no longer maintained.

Sagar Zond (ID: 00000084410633a3) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/15/2020 It didn't work for me. Everytime it asked me for login and I did it around 4-5 time and finally uninstalled chrome extension.

Shaun Villafana (ID: 0000001906b2705c) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/19/2019 There's so many issues this thing brings up.But I do like the concept. And I would like to see this worked on. I will hold on in belief and good faith that the issues will be fixed, and when they are, I will of course fairly change my rating to match.
