  • (2020-03-08) Eugene Nadyrshin: Doesn't work, constantly keeps asking to sign in on Play and Medium but just goes in a never ending look. Looks like it's no longer maintained.
  • (2020-02-15) Sagar Zond: It didn't work for me. Everytime it asked me for login and I did it around 4-5 time and finally uninstalled chrome extension.
  • (2019-12-04) Muhammed AK: Aynen Fatih katılıyorum sana, Please do something in the Turkish language.
  • (2019-07-19) Shaun Villafana: There's so many issues this thing brings up.But I do like the concept. And I would like to see this worked on. I will hold on in belief and good faith that the issues will be fixed, and when they are, I will of course fairly change my rating to match.
  • (2018-11-08) Reony Tonneyck: Unfortunately no longer works
  • (2018-01-10) Just Sturgis: Great extension, but constantly throwing errors. Seems to conflict with many other extensions. Don't really want to have to choose, but Play is the one I give up if I do.

  • (2016-12-31) Robin Good: Good tool to listen to Medium articles. Easy to use, it does what it promises.
  • (2016-12-15) Parin Katariya: why you need "change data permission on all websites" Why not explicitly ask only for "medium.com" and any plans of making it open source.

  • (2020-01-27, v:1.8.9) Dane O'Leary: Multiple Play.ht players on a Medium article?
    I'm not sure how to fix this, but I've had to edit a couple stories that already had Play.ht transcription. When I save the changes, it puts a duplicate Play.ht player on the story. Any idea how to remove the duplicates? Ex: https://medium.com/macoclock/iphone-11-pro-review-after-4-months-is-it-still-worth-it-f2a9747e999b?source=friends_link&sk=3a77b25a3e01d3aa75993df4a6eecb3b

    Hi! I'm not sure you're aware, but Medium recently updated the way they publish their articles and the button for "add audio to article" no longer appears. Is there an alternative way to add the audio? Thank you!
  • (2018-06-09, v:1.3.0) Robert Jacobson: Issue with converting story files
    Most of my listed articles eligible for adding audio worked well. But the most recently posted article didn't. The conversion squiggle turns red and then there's the information, "Something didn't work. Try Again!" also in red. I'll send the URL for the article. But the error occurred in the list. Also, several ADD AUDIO buttons were greyed out. Is it because they are older (2017) or because the new Play for Medium has been upgraded?

  • (2018-06-06, v:1.3.0) Typo in Your Short Description
    Your short description of the extension is: "Listen to your favorite Meduim.com articles, Play allows you to listen to any Medium article directly from the browser." Isn't the website medium.com, NOT meduim.com? Just thought I'd mention this! Thanks, Amanda.
  • (2018-04-04, v:1.2.8) Claire: can it read any url?
    what about other articles beside medium
  • (2017-11-13, v:1.2.2) Reporting
    Hi - is there any reporting information available for publishers to see how many people have clicked play on an article/listened through to a certain point? Thanks!
  • (2017-11-12, v:1.2.1) Chad Bockius: Login Loop
    Every time I try to convert an article it asks me to login and repeats that loop every time.
