Not impressed. Tried to make it run based on conditions but doesn't seem to work. Alerts don't work. Wasted my time

They say you can add two devices on the free plan. I have it installed as a Firefox extension and the Desktop app. After installing the desktop app, everytime I press the extension icon on Firefox, it won't open the selection list, it shows me the device list and says I reached the limit. Can't use it anymore.
