Article summary not working

Whenever I see an article in a post, and try using the sync ultra feature to summarise it, it always just says "No summary found". Does this work for anyone else?

I didn't even know this was a feature and I have Sync Ultra lol

Well, it's supposed to be, but right now it seems like all you get is a useless button

I don't even see the button in your screenshot... I just see this.

I also tried the translate feature and it didn't work either. Tbh I paid for Ultra just to remove the ads, but this is pretty disappointing.

Looks like you have a different layout to me, maybe that's why you don't see it?

With Sync presently, it's less about perfection and more about good enough

To be fair, everything else I've tried works. But it is kinda annoying that a paid feature just doesn't work a lot of the time

It really depends on the website and whether there is a paywall. I sometimes check it if I don't want to read the whole article but it's a bit of a crapshoot whether it works. I really expect it not to work, but will still try it every now and then.

Since it's a paid feature, I'd expect it to work all the time. If it only works for sites without a paywall, and sometimes just doesn't work at all, we really shouldn't have to pay for it

How would it access text that is behind a paywall?

There are sites that you can paste a link to an article with a paywall, and it'll remove the paywall. It could use that if it detects a paywall. Or maybe look at the HTML directly, if the content is on there?

Same here, this feature consistently doesn't work. It might function for one in 20 posts
