User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★Great app, one recommendation
Love the idea of this app, please add opacity options so it can be more transparent for times it’s needed
★★★☆☆I like it but could use enhancements
This app works as advertised, but I find myself being annoyed with it because I can't quickly turn it off (or set it to be off by default and just turn it on when needed). I don't want to have to disable to whole plugin or click each word in my search terms to turn it off each time. I would love it if there was a toggle switch that I could default to the off position, and when I want to it on I can flip to see everything just like it works now. Or even if I could snooze it for a while. There are
★★★★☆How do I hide the highlights?
Great concept. Seems like there should be a simple way to hide ALL the highlights. I see that you can click each individual word from the search query to hide each individually, but if you have a long search query, this is tedious. Seems to me that the "Highlighted Phrases (##)" should be a clickable toggle that hides/shows ALL of the highlighted words.
If this feature already exisits, please let me know!
★★★☆☆Major problem detected!
It works great on my website, which made me very happy until I discovered a major problem (hijacking my Google Search). So, I contacted the developer directly. When this is fixed, it’s back to 5 stars.
★★☆☆☆Unmaintained
A great concept ruined by its unfinished nature and lack of improvements. Feature requests go unanswered for months.
