- Rated 2 out of 5by ceeanuh, 7 years agoI've been a longtime user of this extension. I'm autistic and have ADHD, and have trouble with re-reading lines over and over etc. that this extension has made way easier! The extension itself works absolutely wonderfully, I've given it two stars for that. But it's a paid subscription service now, which is unfortunate and definitely not accessible for an accessibility extension. If I'm reading more than 5 webpages a day (which I am, you all know about us ADHDers and our multitudes of open tabs and Wikipedia binges), then from webpage #6 and on the extension is essentially useless to me, as it doesn't work. I have no way of paying for the subscription fees. So for now, I'll be removing it from my browser. It is really helpful, but I can get on without it.
I'll stress that it does work as intended, so if you have the means to pay for it then by all means do it! It's a great extension. It's just unfortunate that as a disabled person you'll have to pay to make your internet experience as easy as the experience everyone else gets for free.Developer response
posted 7 years agoWe are glad to hear that our tool is so helpful for you! Building and maintaining this plugin takes considerable resources, which is why this is not free forever (just a two-week free trial, plus the five uses per day). Please note that if you have ADHD and autism, your school or employer may be legally required to purchase BeeLine for you. Feel free to email us (via our website) if we can be of assistance in making this happen. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13822551, 7 years agoIt's a really good addon. It helps a lot my old parents to better read the news online. Also it makes me read faster and don't get lost in the line change while reading.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Spider, 7 years agoI really love this add-on, but I really DO NOT love the fact that it's a paid subscription service now. It helped a lot with my dyslexia and vision problems, and I found it when it was very new and still in development, and it was a very nasty surprise to suddenly be told I had to pay for it BY THE YEAR.

posted 7 years agoWe're glad to hear that you find BeeLine to be helpful! Please note that your school or employer may be legally required to purchase it for you, based on accessibility laws. We also have some limited free options for students in low-income schools. We wish it could be free forever, but then of course we wouldn't be around very long!
