Does not work
I have tried many times of following the steps but it doesn’t work waste of the money.KJP1952
Works great
Not sure why recent reviews have comment on it not working. Works great on my iPad/iPhone.jayhaypdx
Cool idea. Visually garish
The idea is smart, but it makes your webpages look awful.
Especially if you search for tiny words and it highlights every “a” and “the” etc on the page.
You can’t customize the highlight color with a transparency to try to tone it down that way.
I believe the app has not received an update since it came out.William Lubelski
