MedicUSA (ID: 000000096dad79b8) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/25/2023 I really like this extension and how easy it is/was but I find that it crashes frequently. The other issue I'm having is that when you capture a page It keeps giving me the error message 'Sign-in to keep creating more capture links, collaborate on PDF's and more. 🙈 You’ve reached the max number of capture links (3) as a guest user' I sign into my account, but it still get the message when I try to capture a page. In order to use the tools I need to take a screenshot using my computer function and then go into Instacap > Create a project and upload the screenshot and then I need to go to 'My Projects" to select it before it opens. This never was the case; I could always capture a page and immediately it would open in Instacap/capture board. So I don't know what has happened or changed but I don't use it as often due to all these new steps.

It's so simple to use, but the most important thing is that it saves tons of time. Highly recommended for people who are taking a lot of screenshots and need to give feedback for design.
