Page updates highlights disappear.

⚠️ Important: If the page updates, the highlights are likely to disappear.

Muito lento pra marcar

Dificuldade ao selecionar a frase, ou marca tudo ou não marca nada
Deveria ser mais rápido para mudar de cores

Great Extension

For the longest time, I was looking for a simple to use highlighter app for safari, but couldn’t find a good one at a reasonable price. This is by far one of my fav extensions of all time.

Bien, mais dommage pour les iPads.

L’application est plutôt bien conçue et les notes sont pratiques. Cependant, le surlignement est gênant sur iPad : on ne surligne pas comme je l’aurais pensé avec l’Apple Pencil, mais en sélectionnant le texte. Je pense donc que je ne vais pas l’utiliser beaucoup. Dommage qu’on ne puisse pas réduire ou mettre les notes sur le côté avec des couleurs différentes, afin d’en avoir plusieurs en même temps.

The app is fairly well designed, and the notes are convenient. However, highlighting is awkward on the iPad: you don’t highlight as I expected with the Apple Pencil, but by selecting the text. So I don’t think I’ll use it much
It’s a pity that you can’t minimize or move notes to the side with different colors, so you can have several open at the same time.

Great!

Simple and Usuful app

Worst app ever seen

Don’t wast your money and time in this app

Needs lots of improvements

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

It’s cool for web-based material learning

But I no longer see option Permanent and the highlight is not saved after reload. I have to go to list of pages and choose the relevant link to display and see the part that was highlighted before. This is quite inconvenient compares to the option Permanent in the Preview. Moreover, when the page list increases the length, it is hard to get the newest highlighted page when it is not neither on top nor at the bottom but rather in alphabet order (because it is not as Permanent function then have to copy the page to other place for easier later use)

Doesn’t work on all websites

Paid and downloaded this to annotate my university work through Safari and it isn’t compatible - really frustrating! Waste of money as I can’t use it for what I needed it for.

Its good if we can change colour from page, dont want to gi inside extension every time to change.

Good but you have to go inside extention at top to change colour, also at some websites it increases text size of highlighted text.

Acceptable

The highlight is kept after deleting the browsing history (only browsing history OR browsing history cookies), however it doesn't shown in reader view, which is a bit inconvenient.

Great Highlighter Extension but some problems

Overall great highlighter extension. This is a pretty stable extension with minimal issues. The only issue that I constantly run into is the icon for highlighting showing up on the screen at unexpected times. I wish there is a way to disable the hold option and hold option and command keybind features.

希望可以增加个,记笔记的时候,网页可以变黑白

这样查看的时候,一眼就可以看到笔记记录

Terrible UI

To activate highlighter you have to use a shortcut in every single page. To deactivate it there is no shortcut and you have to use click menu every single time. And while it is active, there is always a colorful dot moving with your cursor. So distracting!

It should be like that: when you select a part of the text, a small symbol should appear at the end of the selected text and when you click it the selected part should be highlighted. It's that simple. I think they have spent lots of hours to make it unuseful.

Only works properly on certain websites

It’s good for the websites that it works on but sad that it doesn’t work properly on others. On some websites the highlighter doesn’t display properly unfortunately

Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them. Highlights can disappear if the page updates the paragraphs you highlighted. If highlighted paragraphs change, of course the highlights will change as well, since the original content is not there anymore. You can also send me an email to hello@alexdenk.eu and I will gladly provide you with more details. Regards.
