The Magic Highlighter

not worth it

Not sure why recent reviews have comment on it not working. Works great on my iPad/iPhone.

A great concept ruined by its unfinished nature and lack of improvements. Feature requests go unanswered for months.

I’ve followed the instructions to the letter and found that this app does NOT WORK. There’s not much more to say other than I’ve reached out to support and gotten no response. I guess I wasted my money on this one.

It works great on my website, which made me very happy until I discovered a major problem (hijacking my Google Search). So, I contacted the developer directly. When this is fixed, it’s back to 5 stars.

This extension doesn’t work at all. I enabled the extension, restarted my phone, everything. But it doesn’t work. Don’t buy.

This app works as advertised, but I find myself being annoyed with it because I can't quickly turn it off (or set it to be off by default and just turn it on when needed). I don't want to have to disable to whole plugin or click each word in my search terms to turn it off each time. I would love it if there was a toggle switch that I could default to the off position, and when I want to it on I can flip to see everything just like it works now. Or even if I could snooze it for a while. There are times I do searches that I don't need terms hightlighted to see what I am looking for. If these ideas (or something similar) get added, I'll update this to 5 stars.

This is great app that helps become more productive. However it has lingering bugs that I am sure the developer will be able to fix without much trouble: 1) on ipados, the keyboard shortcut does not work (and in my case it is already assigned to another app) 2) the "tap to highlight" shown in the pop up does not seem to work Looking forward to seeing an update!

This is a great idea and a useful utility but please **give us the option to define the keyboard-shortcut ourselves** instead of hardwiring it.

Safari is not my primary browser on the Mac, I've grown to appreciate this extension so much - that it is jarring when I go to my other browser and its not there! Also, you can't beat that once you've purchased this on the mac its now available for free on iOS and iPadOS. To the Developer - please bring this to Chromium based browsers!
