Diogo Nunes (ID: 000000e8fe433baa) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/20/2023 The UX is bad. The export is terrible. The HTML generated has no styling and doesn't include the screenshots taken!!!! This extension wasted more time than it saved. Very bad.

Devon Welch (ID: 000000d7c6b92878) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/30/2020 Good for web development :)

Lê Nguyên Nguyễn (ID: 0000007d738d887e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/04/2019 Very useful. But could you please make word wrap for the Description column both when viewing Session Report and exporting to HTML file. Thanks.

Roberto Franair (ID: 0000009c17f535af) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/15/2017 Excelente ferramenta, ao meu ver so falta o relatório em html já indicar o timestamp das atividades e a opção de screenshot tbm possuir opções para inserir marcadores (setas e afins). No mais, parabens pelo trabalho.

Lada Flac (ID: 00000035e927a971) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/08/2016 Simple and very helpful. I would like to see timestamp of screenshots as well, needed for exploring system logs later. That would make my review a 5-star ;)
