What Real Users Say About Highlighter for Safari
Authentic feedback and real-world ratings from Mac & iOS users
Nope
"I bought this app from this developer in 2021. I bought 5 apps in total from this developer. A update is released today, “bug fixes and improvements” but they left out the improvement was you have to pay to use the app functionally again. I tried to restore purchase options to no avail. It’s crazy to up charge a once-already functional app that hasn’t been for a while to your day 1 customers. I already bought what you offered. I don’t care about anything else. You sell a product you stick by it and let new customers figure out the margins. The app literally does the same thing with just a single added feature I can tell, that isn’t necessary or why I bought it in the first place. I will no longer support this developer over shady practices. It’s a way to “alert” your customers of a change in pricing in update notes. But you left that out. If you can’t be transparent then there’s no business and no respect on my end. This game was already played with https app, that I still bought and supported because I thought it did something different and was new. Won’t get into that."
DO NOT BUY!!!
"Absolutely, positively, DOES NOT WORK - AT ALL!! This is a scam DO NOT BUY!!!!!"
Good but needs to be more improved - increase colors - make the yellow more light.
"Good app - make the light highlight more yellow please"
Worst app ever seen
"Don’t wast your money and time in this app"
