Sridhar Dhanapalan (ID: 0000009e54f56ea5) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/13/2022 This product looks dead but it still mostly works. No response from the developer and no updates in over a year. Shame I paid for it.

Olaf Zumpe (ID: 000000770451f546) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/26/2022 It is a useful plugin. I am using it very often. However, the text to speech feature does not work in chrome for MacOS. Could you please fix this?

Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/02/2021 Requires LogIn to use. They probably ask for more from there.

Matthias Heidrich (ID: 000000082f6ba8fb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/27/2021 Love this tool. Makes it so easy and convenient to save blog articles and read them later without distractions. My favorite feature is that the highlights tab where you can quickly browse through all the highlight that you have made. Awesome job!
