Stephanie Tencer (ID: 00000031249874b7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/17/2023 Love it. Workflowy is fantastic and this extension makes adding notes while browsing seamless. It seems the issues that earlier reviewers reported have been addressed. The extension works really well. Intuitive and super convenient!

Cliff MP (ID: 0000000abb4ed50b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/26/2023 Well... it took a couple of weeks, but ALL my Notion notes have been moved over to Workflowy. It was a job... but well worth it. Now I'm actually enjoying my note-taking and organizing like I hoped I would in Notion... but never did. Not because I don't think Notion is a great app... it's a monster! But that's just the point... I don't need a 'Monster'! I needed Workflowy!!! Love it and it's becoming one of my most favorite daily go-to apps... Pairing this off with 'Walling'... is the magic combo/marriage for me... Thanks Workflowy people!!! :-)

Alexis Roussat (ID: 0000005188c1cf97) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/18/2023 Almost useless, because of the impossibility of showing all nodes in a section, says this is for performance reasons.

icon

Alexander Aldrich (ID: 000000095022d402) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/08/2022 Really need to have a feature that allows you to load all children of a particular node so that you can select the node you want to save to. Otherwise, if I can't choose the node I want to save to, the extension isn't helpful.

Nick Spreitzer (ID: 000000e8fbd6caf0) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/07/2022 Useless, unless I can see all nodes! Most nodes are hidden for "performance reasons". Sounds like the performance needs to be addressed in a way that doesn't tank the functionality.
