User reviews


A useless add-on for a useless site. The underlying idea is good, but the implementation is terrible. Everything is tied to their website, which is rarely accessible or stable. And even if everything is fine with the site, the software itself is full of bugs. Let’s add to this the “security” policy (due to which, in the event of critical failures, it is faster to create a new account than to wait 5 days or longer if you need an answer on Github) and the result is a completely unacceptable product.
