- (2023-09-13) Nick Lowery: Love it so far. Clean implementation on the sites I regularly use it on, and the ruler feature is great.
- (2023-09-12) Brendan Cremers (BsCremers): good extention, like it. but the thing what puts me off is i like dark mode on a lot of websites and the high contrast mode will mess up the whole website. mabey it is nice to have a way to toggel high contrast mode on and off.
- (2023-05-11) Zelia teodor: Je recommande, Je suis dyslexique depuis des années, on m'a parlé de la police d 'écriture "open dyslexic" je ne pensais pas que ça allais me faciliter à ce point la lecture. En plus le "Ruler" (un ligne qui prends tout votre écran) est une très bonne idée. Je vous conseil de l'essayer. I recommend, I have been dyslexic for years, I was told about the "open dyslexic" font I didn’t think it would make it that easy for me to read. In addition, the "Ruler" (a line that takes all your screen) is a very good idea. I suggest you try it.

- (2021-11-11) Easy to use and so glad someone has made it as it makes my life so much easier :) thanks
- (2021-09-21) Snow Riley: Works well, but I only want the ruler and there's no way to turn the font changer off without turning off the ruler as well.
- (2021-04-13) Kleo “Kleodore”: works well, except for websites with darkmode. makes the text black on black. also is funky with google translate.
- (2020-03-02) It's the Claes: Instantly satisfied with this app. Things that could improve are more font options or the ability to upload your own fonts and an option to highlight the words your cursor is over (the bar is great but sometimes this extra help is needed). Load times could be better but they're not horrible.
- (2020-01-16) Anthony M: Really great but would be better if you could toggle the background color changing.
- (2019-02-16) Nathan Rogers: Immediately did what I needed it to and has a fancy highlight bar. Love!
- (2018-08-11) I N (NI): not really working on twitter, but other site fine
- (2017-02-07) Max S.: It would have been great, if I could actually toggle it on an off. I don't really need it on all websites.
- (2016-04-23) Laurent Bonnard: Great app
- (2016-04-15) Tracy Lowe: I have enjoyed this extension. However, I find it causes a long delay when pages are uploading. It does not work well with Facebook. It would be nice if it had an easier on/off function. I find it VERY helpful when reading longer documents.
- (2015-11-20) vinny l: I kind of like it, but I hate the "dyslexic font", I like the comic sans, but not the other one,andit seems like even when I choose comic sans each page opens in 'dyslexic' and I have to change manually everytime and sometimes doesn't work. Can you change this?
