User reviews
Confirming this is indeed broken, first image appears very zoomed, subsequent pictures appear grey, and no download button. Hope it gets fixed because until now it's been a great app.

Thank you for this great add-on. Unfortunately now it seems it's broken: the pictures are extremely zoomed and often the download buttons are not visible. May you fix it when you have time? Thank you!

Unfortunately broken for a few days. Feed images are often extremely zoomed and now the DL button on feed posts has also disappeared. (I will remove the review as soon as it is fixed, as always. Thanks for your work!)
