- (2020-03-29) Helium Dale: everything worked except for the fact that I can't select text for some reason
- (2019-12-15) cyphertm: i would rate it five stars because it seems amazing, but for some reason, i can't get it to work even though it's compatible with my device. maybe i'm doing something wrong?
- (2019-01-12) Matthew Dooly: Very stylish and functional. Minimap is unique and very helpful to keep track of paragraphs. Only thing missing for me is the ability to read whole page (article) without the need to highlight it.

- (2015-02-03) Michael Marotta: I've tried quite a few reading extensions and this one really gets it right. In particular it lets you view more than one word at a time AND it intelligently chunks the words so they are within a sentence, not the last and first words of a sentence which is often gibberish. Also, you can specify pauses after commas and periods and paragraphs etc which help a lot with reading comprehension. Most other similar extensions just blow straight through words without this dynamic adjustment making comprehension suck but this one is a lot better.
- (2014-05-25) Alejandro Retamal: cool app. Need to see more words before and next. Could be great can configurate to see more than 1 word at a time
