- (2025-09-03) Ankit Ganatra: used it on articles, works as suggested! good work team!
- (2025-09-03) Kieran: Fast quick summary gets me what I need right away. wish you could highlight or add text for it to summarise instead of it doing the whole page still really useful made school much easier
- (2025-08-27) Lcys L: Looks useful if you want a quick resume of a website, video, pdf ect..
- (2025-08-25) Michael Dredge: Great extension. It should come with YouTube by default. Saves so much time. If you find something you would like more details on, jump to that time stamp. Love it!!!!
- (2025-07-15) Steve Sun: The best plugin for me so far.
- (2025-07-09) Dennis Kelly: The summaries are good as far as they go. But they only summarize about half the video. It's not very helpful to me if it doesn't summarize the entire video. I suppose the producers of the videos object to the entire video being summarized since it would reduce views. YouTube should give them credit for a view if someone reads the summary.
- (2025-07-08) Jim Wiehe: This is hands down one of the most useful Chrome extensions I've ever used. I regularly read well-written but incredibly detailed blogs, and this extension does an excellent job of distilling the key points from lengthy, verbose articles without losing the essence. It's been a game-changer for my reading efficiency! One feature request for the wishlist: it would be fantastic if the extension could include links to the specific sections being summarized. This would make it easy to dive deeper into particular points that catch my interest. That said, this is an incredibly well-designed and useful tool. Thank you so much for creating it - highly recommended!!

- (2025-06-10) Courtney Davidson: Removes all the unnecessary information, making it easier to understand the important information.
- (2025-05-29) Stefan Coetzer: In a world flooded with bloated articles and endless preambles, TLDR cuts through the noise like a scalpel. It helps me stay informed without wasting time on filler that often reads like a student padding an essay with irrelevant facts. This app has become essential to my daily routine—concise, clear, and incredibly valuable.
- (2025-05-24) Mike Schlung: Years ago, there was a newspaper in Chicago, possibly the Chicago American, known for its concise articles; it was a pleasure to read. TLDR reminds me of that. I love how it condenses a five-minute read into a 30 to 60 second summary while still allowing access to the full article for additional details. While detailed writing is great for novels, I prefer a quick news summary so I can move on. The extension works on both Chrome and Edge, despite claims that it doesn't support Edge. It's a fantastic tool, and I highly recommend it.

- (2025-04-09) Mili Eppinger: It's great for videos and articles, but is absolutely dreadful with book pdf's. It will tell you the title and the word count, but not analyze a word of the actual content. Which is very frustrating, because it's quite helpful aside from that.
- (2025-04-01) Cornelius Illi: Super fast and well structured summaries.
- (2025-03-18) Kelly Van Valkenburg: Making my life so much easier! There's too much info to take in, and TLDR boils it down. Excellent program, and works really fast too!
- (2025-03-18) Fedya Price: Great time saver, the Video summaries could do withsome work, but it works like a charm on websites and PDFs. I've saved so much time in filtering between usefull (relevant) and useless articles, webpages, and PDFs for my work.
