Christine Sarkis (ID: 000000d5216ad093) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/17/2022 Used to work, now it doesn't. Skimlinks support asked me if I'd tried the Chrome extension in another browser as a fix, which is not only nonsensical but also unhelpful.

William Judd (ID: 000000903b919814) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/13/2022 Used to be great - included the commission percentage for each site and seemed to stay logged in for weeks at a time. Now I'm needing to type in my details every day or so, remember to select the right site and then finally get a link. Update (2022): Now it just doesn't seem to open on many sites? Argh.

Alexander Colas (ID: 00000061146cfd6e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/14/2020 It's great to quickly create affiliate links on the go, and I love that you can now add custom parameters for attribution
