Scott Shapiro (ID: 000000667e25e704) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/14/2023 This was a great tool and super useful, but it doesn't work for me any more. Are there plans to update it to make sure it continues to work? Google won't let me reply to your response, so I'm editing my original review here. I'm still not able to use it. I sent you an email yesterday and I'd be happy to connect to show you what I'm seeing. Feel free to reply to the email to set up a time. Thank you!
