charging money to insert Unicode, very dishonorable.
Nothing in the google extension library indicates that this is a 7day free trial. It has no functionality beyond that period without a monthly subscription.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I paid the year subscription and yet the extension keeps asking me to upgrade. Emailed support without response. I tried logging off and back on; I tried uninstalling and re-installing... same result. $36 lost.
Forced to make an account AND pay money for such basic functionality?? No thanks
Bait n switch... This ext was always free but now it charges $4 monthly. For special characters, all of which are available for free by google search. Uninstalled
Oh, now it's pay-to-use only? So THAT'S why it's asking me to sign in to use it, then doesn't let me sign in to use it. Would be nice if they'd let users know. But now that I know, I am uninstalling this right after I give it this one-star review.
No free version
suddenly I have to pay for this extension? pah! BYE
Used this extension for years, and now it requires a sign-in and a PAID service. Paying to copy and paste a character is absolutely ridiculous. Predatory behavior on the developer's end. Uninstalled immediately after seeing that.
Used the extension for years, now it's requiring a paid subscription to use. Immediate uninstall. Not going to pay monthly/yearly/at all for what's basically a widget that just automatically copies a symbol alt-code to the clipboard. Predatory behavior deserves 0/5 stars, but because I can't give 0, I'll have to give a 1.
Worked fine for years. Payment no.
Had this extension for years and now they want to make me pay to use it. Paying to copy and paste a character. And if you try to sign out it just flat out doesn't work. Absolutely insane to me that someone expects payment to copy and paste a character when wikipedia exists and can do the same.
Was the very best, but suddenly added a lot of features I didn't want and asked me to pay, so goodbye.
It works, but there's one crucial feature missing - I wish it could remember the characters I recently used/use the most often, and show them first as soon as I click on the extension. Without this, I find it quite annoying to look through the menu to find my characters (which are always the same 3-5 ones).
