Please download this plugin with caution, for the following reasons: The number of users does not match the number of ratings/reviews. The network influence is weak and lacks real user discussions. The website promotion does not match the actual situation. The permission request is too broad and there are potential risks. The plugin is too large and may contain unnecessary functions.
Hey 清霄, Some parts of your feedback left me a bit confused, but I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Feedback like this is always helpful because it gives me a chance to make Helperbird better for everyone. You brought up some interesting points, so I wanted to address them: > 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬/𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬. The number of users compared to reviews is because we don’t ask people to leave reviews often, and we also work with a lot of schools where students aren’t allowed to leave them. > 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐮𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. About the app size, Helperbird’s features, like the word prediction dictionary, are bundled in so they work offline. Without it, the app would be around 2MB, but we think the added offline functionality is worth it. I’m still working on ways to make it smaller! > 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. For "network influence," I’m not entirely sure what you mean, but we just hope people enjoy Helperbird and find it helpful in their daily lives. > 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐬. On permissions, we only request permissions we need and we keep them as tight as possible, and the app stores review them carefully. I completely agree that it’s always smart to check app permissions before installing anything! There is zero risk with Helperbird as we use zero remote code and have been in the store for 10 years. > 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. You mentioned that the website promotion doesn’t match the actual situation. While I believe this isn’t true, I’d really love to hear your thoughts on how we can address this better or clarify anything that’s unclear. If this feedback is genuine, I’d love for you to reach out and share more details or clarify your concerns. It would mean a lot, and I’d be happy to take your feedback to make Helperbird even better. Hopefully, we can clear up any confusion and earn a more positive review in the future! Feel free to reach out anytime at robert.gabriel@helperbird.com. Thank you, Robert James Gabriel Helperbird Founder

AMAZING app. I am a researcher and writer with learning and information processing challenges. The Helperbird app is like 50 accessibility and productivity apps in one. It has absolutely transformed my research process and experience to make it so much easier. No switching between multiple extensions. I love having tools like text to speech, reading ruler, and immersive reader right alongside the highlighter, online sticky notes, OCR, IA, and even the ability to edit a live webpage and then e...

Hey Valerie, Thank you so much for the amazing review! I’m so glad Helperbird has made your research easier and that you’re loving the highlighter and OCR (OCR is my favorite too!). It’s been great chatting with you over email, and I wanted to let you know the updates to the highlighter you suggested are coming next week. I’ll follow up with you once they’re live. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out at robert.gabriel@helperbird.com. Thank you, Robert James Gabriel Helperbird Founder

This extension is a one-stop-shop for so many features that I have previously used in other extensions and built-in accessibility features. My son and I both rely heavily on accessible technology to do our best work and Helperbird has proven to be easy to learn/use and easily applied to a variety of materials. The owner/developer is super responsive and open to feedback - a major asset to any company that wants to truly support individuals with diverse learning and accessibility needs.
Hey Mary Therese, Thank you so much for leaving this review! It means so much to know Helperbird has been helpful for you and your son :) I like to saw we are not perfect, If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out at robert.gabriel@helperbird.com. Thank you again for your support, Robert James Gabriel Helperbird Founder

This is a game changer for me. As someone with autism and ADHD this extension is life saver for me with school. Seriously this is amazing and the developer genuinely cares about his users and his ability to help them. If you have any kind of disabilities or trouble with reading at all download this extension like yesterday!
