Lu V (ID: 00000069bac51831) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/03/2021 I love this so much! Its a 4-in-1 extension with good graphics and a playful design. It also has a Pomodoro timer that plays a cute sound when the timer runs out. I have many suggestions that I hope will be implemented if the dev can! - Make the elements draggable (websites icons in Search, Tasks, Notes). - Ability to edit text in an already made Note. - Options to make the font smaller/bigger. - Fix the sizing of the website icons to be more smaller so it wouldn't look blurry & will fit in the circle. - Have the ability to add more boards in the Kanban. - Make the size of the Notes depend on the length of text. - Lengthen the max character limit in Notes. Overall great concept and execution!!! I hope the update someday can remedy some of the little problems. :>

Back2Lobby (ID: 0000007d74059877) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/15/2021 awesome app, awesome idea. Everything fine. But I am facing a little bit of problem here. My tabwave automatically resets to light mode. I have not cleared my windows temporary folder or chrome's cache for a while. But it still happens...
