- (2024-05-01) Andy Anthony: Priceless, literally and figuratively. Here's the thing: is this magic? Probably. Back in the day when I was a social media manager and a product marketing manager following that, I wasted hours, days, weeks (all on company time of course lol jk) watching full videos of stuff for content creation and editing purposes but what really happened on most days was that I'd get sucked into recommened video rabbit holes and the next thing I knew hours had passed because I couldn't get my makeup to look they did it in the tutorial. Value Prop: Time saver 5 out of 5 stars And ya'll it's FREE. Like, free-free. No hidden costs, no sacrifice of your 15 yr old dog with back and bladder issues that cost a fortune but anythink for your little stinker butt. Value Prop: affordability 5 out of 5 stars. Technology that understands a video faster than I can process the clickbait title in my recommended videos and the extension settings require less technical know-how than keyword shortcuts which I genuinely still struggle with. NLP, speak recognition, and UX 5 out of 5 stars. In conclusion, Glasp is a gift from the genAI gods. It's free, it's fast, and only side effect is a decrease in YouTube procrastination and time spent 'researching'. Overall 5 out of 5 stars.

- (2024-04-13) alva jay: Doesnt work with the new youtube UI, which was the only thing i used this for.
- (2024-04-02) Michael Sharpe: this is amazing on YouTube transcripts, I know it does so much more than I know of i need to take to time to try to learn more
- (2024-03-11) Nan Wang: Absolutely love the tool!
- (2024-02-12) Jae Choi: Truly amazing. The best part is that it does not try to reinvent wheels and focus on its core functionalities. It tries to integrates to mainstream apps as much as possible and that's a big plus. For me, Youtube transcript highlighting and copy was a key selling point. I can copy the highlighted content to Notion so easily and I love it. I'm very excited with its AI features and it's really great that it's working with Claude because they are for non-profit (for now).
- (2024-02-04) Top Direct: 目前为止,都挺不错。侧边栏能在写完笔记后自动隐藏吗?
- (2024-01-17) Roberto Querini: Veramente un tool "Must Have" lo uso continuamente ed ogni giorno mi stupisce per la sua facilità d'uso, non posso più farne a meno! Grazie!
- (2024-01-13) sarath sk: amazing tool, really helpful great thanks to glasp creators...you guys are awesome...!
- (2024-01-03) Rajendra Narayan Kundu: The idea and the extension is good but it has too many glitches and issues. Sometimes some or all the highlights with their notes are gone and those are gone forever. I can't get those back. So, I need to put all the hard work and effort again. So, I am feeling worried to use this extension anymore. The sidebar with notes appear over the websites. So, most of the cases a huge part of the text is hidden. That is why someone needs to close and reopen the sidebar for several times and this is really irritating. The sidebar should push the website and should not appear over the website. When I hover over a highlighted text, why I can't see the notes associated with it? This is a very useful feature to have. The mobile app has no search option for websites. So, if someone has used this tool in too many websites then it is almost impossible to find a specific website in the mobile app. So, please fix these issues. I think this app has a better future.

- (2023-12-28) - Sarah Bright: Such a great idea, great tool, great for organizing, great for sharing with friends, categorizing stuff, etc.. and the guy who made it, his story about why he made it is quite incredible. (near death experience, wanted to leave something valuable and awesome in the world [please correct me if not said well]). I love the extension and use it regularly. Thanks Glasp ❤︎
- (2023-12-13) Thomas Buckler: works great except on the site i really need it on jw.org. wrote in about the issue few months ago. still not fixed.
- (2023-12-07) Trycryptos: Great tool to have on your browser. Surely, it can be developed further and increase the fun.Got some ideas.
- (2023-12-05) حمد الجاسر: شكرا من القلب
- (2023-11-30) Abenezer: It's very useful extension but it has a bug when you change the command summarize it the transcription not copied correctly, it contain junk of code while copying so the gpt can't summarize it. Please fix it.
- (2023-11-23) Shahram Shinshaawh: I think it's also great and I'm pleased that it's free. I would be very happy if you could deactivate the Twitter option in the setting.
- (2023-11-21) DARY ALEXANDRA VESGA: Excelente herramienta.
- (2023-11-17) Mai Kimura: Good extension. This is the chrome extension I use the most. I collect words I don't want to forget and articles that might be useful to someone someday.
- (2023-11-15) Mark Modesti: Kindle importer doesn't work. Dialog to "Copy Highlights or Select Books" is not populating on my macbook pro (M1).
- (2023-11-11) Jack Carney: GREATTTTT!!! WonderFULL tool with the different color highlights allowing me to differentiate the ideas, very useful. Wish developers good luck and hope they can begin to earn well deserved money.
- (2023-11-09) Justin St James: I'm a copywriter that writes and repurposes content for youtubers. This makes my workload light and efficient. Before Glasp I was paying for Ai transcriptions services. I've been using Glasp for just over 6 months. And, I love it. It makes my work EASY. With the addition of 3 prompts. I can write repurposed drafts in with the push of a button.
- (2023-11-08) Luis Aleman: Genial
- (2023-11-07) Téo: The tool looks great and I was ready to pay for it -- only issue is that everything you highlight (including your own personal notes) are published for the entire world to see. I am an attorney and can't risk having my research be out in the open like that. I'm having to switch to the competition now. That's a shame.
- (2023-11-07) Milan: gooooooood
- (2023-11-03) Juan Jose Huanca Ruelas: 1000 sobre 10 y god
- (2023-11-03) Robert De La Fontaine: For project work, there is none better that I have found. Simple, out of the way, and saves what you need for later. Keeping highlights, for when you return to the page, is brilliant, It would be good if there was a way to get a list of sites you have 'highlighted and saved parts of', like an index. It may have one and I may not have found it yet. Overall, even without an index, this is absolutely brilliant. For complex projects that require heaps of research, this is invaluable.

- (2023-10-10) Amel Bilajac: How do I cancel my free trial before I get charged, the program can only summarise videos with dialogue and not the video itself, not what i was looking for
- (2023-10-07) Riccardo Cavazzuti: Amazing, also the prompt is Customizable, so it's really perfect.

- (2023-09-19) Raihan Sifat: Excellient Chorme Extention. is there any privacy option on it ? i want to hide my article highlights , and won't visible publickly . Edit , 19 sep : Maybe there are some bugs, Because of sometimes color plate not working properly in the line of a passage or automatically removed after marking a line.
- (2023-09-19) sagar arora: can you add shortcut for highlighting
- (2023-09-18) Annalena Klippel: Ich finde das Prinzip toll. Es würde mich noch richtig freuen, wenn man auf einer Website ist und ein Highlight rechts anklickt, dass die Seite dann automatisch zu der markierten Textstelle scrollt. So ist es echt schwer, die notierten Stellen wiederzufinden.
- (2023-09-18) Jose RG: Working fine for exporting my Kindle notes!!
- (2023-09-17) Denis Cokovic: I recently installed the extension and wanted to share some issues I encountered during my first use. I believe and hope that addressing these concerns won't pose a significant challenge for your team: 1) When I highlight HTML and JavaScript snippets, they are not visible in the extension's sidebar on the source page. 2) They are visible in the 'My Highlights' section on my Glasp profile, but they appear in the order in which I made them, rather than in the order of their placement on the source webpage. While I understand that this arrangement may suit some users, having a toggle option to sort them based on their position on the source webpage would be greatly appreciated. 3) When Markdown is copied or downloaded, all of the HTML and code appear without any inline or next-line gaps. It would be highly beneficial if the original formatting could be preserved in the copied or downloaded content. This happens when I download my highlights in other formats too. I would like to confirm if I might be overlooking any existing features or settings that could address these issues. Your guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you for your attention to these matters, and I look forward to any insights or solutions you can provide.

- (2023-09-12) A The Ancient Aura: ok so I have to start off by saying I love this extension the interface in clean, clear easy to understand, and functions well. I only have 2 suggestions that I would love to see implemented to which I could and would happily rate this extension 5 stars. 1. I would love if the highlight colors wernt limited to 4. it would be preferable to allow at least 10 (more would be ideal like 25 +) and I would like to be able to choose my own prefrence on what those colors might be via an rbg color map often found when deciding on color in say a web design space. 2) I would love to be able to clear the AI Analysis. because it would seem that once you've already asked for it, you cannot clear it in any manner that I have found. Even in despite of me changing the prompt used in the settings and if we were to go a bit further, I would say in a perfect world, one could write the prompt they would like at any point in the glasp tool bar with an option to save the chosen promt on a drop down menu underneath that button.

The extension is already impressive, and it could be further enhanced by incorporating a feature that displays notes when hovering over highlights.
