Reviews for LINER - Web/PDF Highlighter

Says that I'm not logged in when I try to highlight something although I am. Was not able to highlight anything therefore.

Great app, with some limitations and a few bugs. The best free option available

Very goog, thank you

I've had a lot of problems with this addon on MacOS. First off, the box that comes up with the highlighter colors and option to enter a comment is very finicky. I end up having to hold the mouse in just the right place or it disappears. This wasn't such an issue when I was just worrying about highlighting. But, when it comes to commenting, if the box disappears before a few seconds have passed, the comment isn't saved. I've had multiple comments disappear because of this. I tried my best to deal with it because I really enjoy highlighting and commenting on news articles with Liner. But, then when I refreshed a page when I got the alert that a comment wasn't recorded, all of my highlights and comments were gone. I'd spent at least twenty minutes reading and commenting on a long article and all that work was gone. This was really the last straw. I can't use this when I can't trust it to save my data. I don't want to lose twenty minutes of work again. I much prefer the addon for Safari. It works really well. The box that comes up with highlighting/commenting options doesn't just disappear mid-comment. You can click on a 'save' button to save. I much prefer that. I hope that they make this addon more like the one for Safari. Because as-is, it's not usable for me. I'm going to disable it and try again. Hopefully they'll update it soon to correct these issues. For reference for the developer, I'm using Firefox 59.0.2 (64-bit) on MacOS Sierra 10.12.6.

This extenstion is very well done.

GOOD BUT FIAL TO CONNECT FREQUENTLY

Требует логин. Даже нет возможности испытать приложение, чтобы узнать о его возможностях.

Firefox has a wonderful pdf viewer. May be you can consider modifying forefox's viewer and provide an additional annotation feature with download/update(for local) option, or be kind enough to develop this feature into firefox itself. But everyone is here to make money, so hey no hard feelings.

One hour into this and I'm amazed. I have always copied and pasted to add comments. Now I have folders and the ability to organize and retrieve information quickly.

A little buggy. Several times after lots of highlighting I look up to see Liner say there are 0 highlights. Effectively, all that work is lost. Other times I'll highlight text, and nothing happens until Firefox finally brings up a prompt saying that the execution of a script is slowing the page, asking if I want to kill it.

A little annoying. How can I turn off the "Save to Liner" prompt every time I view a PDF? Even when I'm viewing a PDF I've already marked up with Liner it prompts me.

So close to keeping this around, but I feel the extension could use a bit of work.

I use it on Chrome and it works quite well. I am giving it 2 stars because of the great work that you guys have done there, but it's useless on Firefox.

When I click on the icon the highlighting tool does not come up. This is regardless of website. Maybe it's because I am running the latest version of Quantum, but fix this guys because the quality of the plugin is abyssimal, and some us actually rely on it because it's an important part of our workflow.

I would be forced to switch to Diigo if it doesn't improve and I recommend others do the same. Either that or going back to Chrome, which I absolutely don't want to do.

Sorry LINER, I am harsh but it's because I want you guys to succeed: if your product and revenue is primarily based on a platform where information is collected by an addon, then in my mind that addon has to absolutley smash it - it has to be the best goddamn addon that I have ever seen in my life. It should make me a cuppa tea after a hard day's work, and give me a wonderful massage on a weekend. It should never complain or produce excuses, I have a wife for that. It should highlight a source and ask me if am confortable with it writing the paper for me! My point is: it has to be good! Firefox is a major browser. And Quantum is its next and most significant step in recent year, so get on it!

Doesn't work on most pages, useless

Requires login.

Issue highlighted (hehe) by Praveen is still running, and it is very annoying: whatever number of tabs you have open, it will refresh all of them at once. If you are a power user it will crash your Firefox, or slow it down to the point it's useless, and force you to close and re-open.

it's a freemium, you will be asked to "unlock" features such as "more highlight colors" via a monthly "subscription".
features advertised in the description or on the screenshots can not be used unless you have paid.

It refreshes all my 100 tabs at once when I try to use it. Had to kill and restart firefox.

Why does it need a finger in every pie? How about just stick to the tab in the foreground?

I can install this addon on Firefox for Android, but I don't know how to use it, and I can't find any info for my question. Anybody can help me? Thanks in advance.

It has improved my productivity around reading stuff so much. I can't live without it.

This tool is what I really want. Highlighting and comment features are extremely awesome!

I love it, as I like to highlight stuff while studying from a pdf or on the web. I dont necessarily need the highlighted stuff later, but I just like to highlight stuff which is important, so that it gets in my mind.
