William Ribeiro (ID: 0000003e94d781e0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/20/2022 It does what it says, but I wish I could send links from my browser to the app too, sending texts with the Google option turned off results in a tab with that text instead of having it in the extension itself, and the options setting screen flickers in height for some reason.
