| 2024-06-30 | Firefox user 15740236 | | I'm going to glaze this extension. This is one of most powerful language learning tool you can have at your disposable when it comes to learning Mandarin. It's so simple and so effective at the same time. It really just translates Chinese character instantly. I mean, I used to used a paper dictionary, and then an online dictionary. I was almost tempted to buy one of those translator pens. This extension quite literally saved me a lot of time and a few dollars. Now I'm reading the "About this extension" page and I found out you can save words by clicking "r" Whoever made this extension, please let me support you. You have no idea how grateful I am. |

| 2023-11-04 | Firefox user 14942082 | | Super useful. Hopefully one day when we select several words we can have all of them instead of one by one. But overall great add-on, thank you so much ! |

| 2023-07-15 | Nightlark | | Doesn't show an icon in the toolbar like it should, nor does it have an option to enable it in the add-on settings. Cannot be activated in this current update and is not usable. |
