CyberMageIL (ID: 0000004cd9117fe1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/25/2022 Super useful extension, nice features and it just works! :) Things to improve? ... a single button to quickly open all the logged new posts for a subreddit into new tabs (instead of one by one) would be nice, also, a way for the app to notify about new reddit chat messages and requests would be useful (because not everyone uses the old private messages system nowadays).

JEC (ID: 0000002562d6fe08) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/06/2022 great extension with all the options you could ever need!

A The Ancient Aura (ID: 000000da663af835) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/26/2022 This extension is EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!! The only request I could have would be a few more sounds for the notifications or the ability to use our own alert tones I just want something a little more pleasant to the ear while also being able to alert me. That said, its perfect the request for more alert tones is just a request not a complaint. Please keep up the great work!

H L (ID: 00000046aca6c86c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/07/2022 Great extension! However, why - "It just checks the latest 10 posts in given Subreddits, Reddit Searches, or following users. This means that the extension may miss some posts if more than 10 of them were posted during the selected interval. It often happens when you just open the browser after a long time or set a big update interval for Subreddits with frequent updates" ? Why only last 10? What if I follow more users, say 30-40, I won't be notified for half of them? Does the extension only check first 10 users and ignores others?
