User Reviews
This is the best app for students in elementary school, high school, middle school, and college! I've been teaching my students for over 4 years, and it still works! This extension has so many things, from reading your essay, or paragraph to you, your grammer, and a virtual dictionary! I suggest using this app for all your PDF's, documents, and Word. It's free and it's just amazing!
Does the job without any unnecessary permissions.
Extension does not even open. Wanted to use it but it just won't open. Disappointed.
