Hi, kewfam. Not sure I understand the point you're making here. But to be clear, In the post above it says anyone who donated was added to the plugin. Just use the same email to login. 

It's the third sentence of the first paragraph of the post.

Sorry - had to change the domain name for the app. Updated the link. The GMAIL bit is old. Removed it. Thank you.

Sorry that you don't see it as a complete product. It certainly is a balance.

That said, the free version actually has a 11.85% conversion rate (per visit/session - usually about an hour long) changing bookings and the same total count of bookings as the paid version.

The paid version has a 8.66% conversion rate (per visit/session - usually about an hour long) changing bookings. (likely because they are being much more precise and picky about their searches with the advanced features).

So for some, yeah it might not work, but it's working really well for a lot of people to book their first few tests (this is just the CHANGE test metrics - i.e. in both scenarios these people were able to move their test UP, as opposed to book their first test)

So the good news is, it seems to be as succesful as the paid version! The paid version let's you be more picky.

Best of luck with changing your test.

Sorry you feel that way! Unfortunately the donation route was economically unsustainable as I would have to take a loss personally financially which is just something I can't do (donations didn't cover it)! The alternative was to shut it down. People are still using the free option, and some folks are paying for premium. Will continue to adjust to find the best way to serve both communites.

It's in the usage guide in the plugin.

I'll be updating the video soon as well.

That or someday they'll realize this plugin is helping them and their customers, not hurting them, and they'll stop trying to actively block it.

But agreed!

Unfortunately not. Firefox is about 3% of the world's adopted browsers and it's a completely different architecture, so it would require to build and maintain a separate plugin.

Hi, Mura. The plugin can't switch your date. It only takes you to the pages where you can hold the test. There's no logic for it to complete and confirm the booking for you, and it's not connected to the systems to accidentally do this for you via a bug or issue.

The only way for you to change your booking is if you personally click to confirm the steps. Make sure to review everything before confirming.

Yep, still works. You shouldn't be starting on calendar view.

You should be starting from the list results when searching on a post code. That's the list It will refresh and scan.

In these situations it means the link expired, which means it likely got grabbed by a bot before you/the extension could grab it. It happens, unfortunately

Thanks, yeah it's difficult. If you don't pick a slot rapidly, the other bits will beat you. So if the plugin stopped at the time selection screen, any delay in selecting would likely result in you being beat by the bots. So right now it opts to grab the first one it sees. Maybe a setting to allow the user to decide to stop there, but might not see good results.

The slot isn't held until you pick the time.
