★★★★★ Brandon Thron (MetalordicA) · May 28, 2025

I ❤️‍🔥 UR plug-in- Select Text 2 Search Support Button on the Play Store 4 free cuz it's a super badass idea 2 have searchable capabilities built-in 2 the text edit options throughout Android OS & all overlays but also, please find away to add Google Select Text 2 TTS Support Button as well that's as easy 2 integrate the Support Button capabilities setup & super easy like the Select Text 2 TTS Setup & that would make this plug-in up-to-date W/ Android 15 OneUI7 & ect for all Android 15+/- devices

This is a great app that provides something I've wanted for years. One question though. When I open the selected text box, I see "Web search" offered twice. This does no harm. I'm still very happy to have this app, but why is it offered twice?

Only works in chrome. It doesn't who web search option is other apps.

I'm sorry to give a bad review score, I just need your attention to help me get this to work. I'm trying to use it inside and app called obsidian, and it isn't working for some reason. Any clues ?

Doesn't let me select text, nor does a search appear. I might as well just select the address bar and type it in manually then I suppose
