User reviews

Needs more options…

I wish the app had MORE OPTIONS. PER SE, to SELECT and be able to HIGHLIGHT, what I need to ONLY.

The MAIN ISSUE is that every time I SELECT WITH MY MOUSE CURSOR OR MOUSE POINTER in Safari, it AUTOMATICALLY HIGHLIGHTS what I selected, INSTEAD OF PROVIDING ME THE COLOR SWATCH OPTIONS.

Because, I wanna have the OPTION to SELECT and HIGHLIGHT with a color I need. INSTEAD OF GETTING AN AUTOMATIC HIGHLIGHT FROM THE EXTENSION ITSELF.

If you DISABLE this AUTOMATIC HIGHLIGHT, THEN it’ll be a five star app.

Response from developer

Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them. You can disable automatic highlight from the Options menu from the Safari popup. You can also send me an email to hello@alexdenk.eu and I will gladly provide you with more details. Regards.

Big improvements

I am changing my rating to 4 star from two star. As the recent update of the app, you have considered almost all my request. I’m not giving it 5 just because I would love to have the feature of annotating the website with my Pencil and write free hand. If that is possible, please do it. otherwise, it is almost perfect. Highly recommended.

Earlier review: Lots of bugs: highlights automatically get deleted, some page like yt are not being removed from the pages section even after “clear all” multiple times, note keeps on moving when trying to scribble with pencil,
I am noticing anew bug-wikipedia pages are only highlighting after multiple attempts

Some feedback for additional things i felt missing:
1. Give option to add multiple notes in a single webpage or just add a feature to add notes to highlights like diigo
2. Try to name pages like diigo instead or just showing url in the pages section
3. If possible, add a feature to allow users to use pencil to write on the webpage and save it permanently like highlights
4. We have to open tabs from the extension to show the highlights, try to show highlights even if we open tabs from the just by searching
5. Also show option to highlight first instead of directly highlighting when using hand, i have to use the look up feature a lot, and directly highlight when using pencil
6. Add color options in the color icon inthe webpage only instead to extension

Nope

I bought this app from this developer in 2021. I bought 5 apps in total from this developer. A update is released today, “bug fixes and improvements” but they left out the improvement was you have to pay to use the app functionally again. I tried to restore purchase options to no avail. It’s crazy to up charge a once-already functional app that hasn’t been for a while to your day 1 customers. I already bought what you offered. I don’t care about anything else. You sell a product you stick by it and let new customers figure out the margins. The app literally does the same thing with just a single added feature I can tell, that isn’t necessary or why I bought it in the first place. I will no longer support this developer over shady practices. It’s a way to “alert” your customers of a change in pricing in update notes. But you left that out. If you can’t be transparent then there’s no business and no respect on my end. This game was already played with https app, that I still bought and supported because I thought it did something different and was new. Won’t get into that.

Good but needs to be more improved - increase colors - make the yellow more light.

Good app - make the light highlight more yellow please
