Useless for anyone trying to get real work done
When you're working under pressure with your brain completely fried, all you're looking for is a quick solution to resolve an immediate problem. You grab the first extension you see, take the time to install it, and keep working thinking you’re good to go.
Yes, they state the 20-message limit right up front—fair enough—but who in their right mind expects a dedicated utility app to be that pointless? When you're in a rush, the absolute last thing you imagine is that a tool exists just to export 20 messages. A 10-year-old child knows you can manually copy and paste 20 messages in seconds.
And what real value are they even offering? Formats like CSV? Anyone with basic tech literacy—which is the exact audience downloading a tool like this—knows you can handle format conversions yourself in seconds, for free, just by changing a file extension.
Then to top it all off, adding another $10 subscription to the dozens we already pay? Are these people out of their minds? Sure, anyone has the right to charge whatever they want, but commercially this is a joke. You can't even test if the tool actually handles a heavy thread before they demand a subscription.
Maybe the developers have solid tech skills, but their commercial logic is non-existent. A product design this out-of-touch just adds to the frustration, wastes time, and inspires people to build a better alternative out of pure spite.
Save yourself the headache and look for real tools made by people with actual common sense.
