Prepd Fast Catch

Its overly clunky, it will refuse to work sometimes, it somehow lost the ability to remember my password
the interface is poorly optimized, the rest of prepd is great, but the fast catch extension is not worth it\

the worst thing is that it doesn't even work on some news sources, for example, the epoch times, the extension will start working, then error out with no way to get help, their website is no help either.

its frustrating

This application is extremely helpful, and aside from that, as you can probably see in the replies below, Prepd has an extremely fast and helpful customer service. It is a great application to quickly store and retrieve articles for any form of debate, although Extemp is the best event to use this application for. Prepd has soo many functions, and a team could literally create their team around this app, because it has so many useful functions. Definitely
worth the cost if you get a full account. I had a competition with some other people to see who could cut the most articles, and I ended up with 2001 articles after a couple of months. It was no problem to cut upwards of 600 articles in one day. To get the most out of it, coaches should use the classroom function extensively.

Good - If you want to manually file, it has a relatively smooth interface.

Bad - You can't continue to make folders within a folder. Once you do it a single time, you cannot make more folders in that folder.
Autofiler's search function is an absolute joke. If you search something by relevance, it'll bring up almost every article it can find and sort it by DATE. Almost all of these articles, have nothing to do with what you searched. Therefore, you have to spend way too much time to find remotely relevant files, wasting valuable prep time.

Go with extemp genie.
