- Finally a lookup tool for serious vocabulary building through reading. The flow is sooo smooth and the card is quite pretty. Made collecting anki cards a lot easier. Thank you.

- I can't access my browser history when this extension is enabled; it goes to the extension's word history screen. This was a very recent change.

- actually, i wrote a review saying that examples were missing, but i take it back. this is the perfect extension to advance my english vocabulary. thank you.

- It was a great extension. Pretty smooth to save any words into a clipboard and I can export words via the extension page. And I could also select newly added words to export. One more thing, the explanation on popup window was awsome. Now I understand this extension may wanna be commercial now (or acquired by some company, I am not sure). I check out the FAQ on the new page, it seems non-English is not free to use even. I am a relatively new users to Anki, starting using it since 4 months ago. But I would say this is a big loss for language learning community. Losing those excellent features and multi-lang support are regretful. I understand it may be really demanding to ask individual developers (if this extension is still maintained by the original developers) to maintain software for free, and I totally support that softwares should monitize in some way. Especially for such a great extension. But the fact of cutting excellent features, and limiting the language supports is not sustainable, at least in my opinion.
- Breeze Yang
- Amazing!
- Zaki
- Thank you for making this... Really useful.
- xingkai Huang

- Only for English. I wasted a full hour Adding the extensions, reading through GitHub, Downloading the Demo File to build the Anki Card Template, and implementing the whole thing.. Just to realize, it only supports English. Useless for my Dutch study! It is a good extension for the English purpose though. Just has to MENTIONED clearly in the description.
- Cuong Ha
- Please add these features, I beg you: 1. Choose the anki deck and note type in the configuration. 2. Import directly to anki from the translation popup (using AnkiConnect)
- Miron
- It's a very cool extension; thanks for the work! However, I really miss the context on the front of the card for the word. Is it possible to add a feature to capture the sentence in which the selected word is located? For example, if I add the word "confident," which is in the sentence "She was in a relaxed, confident mood," then I want to see on the front of my Anki card not just the word "confident," but the word itself and the sentence "She was in a relaxed, *confident* mood" below the word.

- The extension had give me some trouble, but in the end, it worked. Here's what and how: The "4th step" didn't word cause chrome had redirected me to basic extension's homepage. So to access I just "Exported selected" and its done. Read the instruction and pay attention, it should be enough (I had other troubles 'cause I'm me).
- Julia Tai
- I like this plugin but I have some issue while exporting words. I clicked on the button of "export selected" and it showed "Last Export: just now". However, I don't find any files in my downloading folder or anywhere else. Downloading option didn't pop up either.
- Lu Tang
