Angry! Too much time wasted with this oh-so-simple tool
Perhaps I didn't understand the function of this very simple extension.
In any case, it requires the input of a list, which I first have to export from LinkedIn myself, following the linked instructions (a 24-hour waiting period is required). SimpleLi is apparently unable to read the contact list, or any other list, something that could certainly be programmed in an hour, given the right automation framework.
I'm extremely annoyed that I invested so much time in this, indeed too simple, tool.
Don't fall for this "tool." I recommend AppSumo to unlisten, if this is not due to my misunderstanding.

Aug 7, 2025Hi there,
I’m so sorry for the frustration with SimpleLi—it sounds like a real hassle, and I appreciate you sharing your feedback. The 24-hour wait you mentioned isn’t part of SimpleLi’s “Export Connections” link, which should let you download your LinkedIn contacts instantly. No other users have reported this delay with our tool. You can filter the list in any tool and paste the names into SimpleLi to auto-select contacts, saving you from manual clicks. If you hit a delay, it might be from LinkedIn’s separate data export tool. I’m sorry for any confusion! If you’re up for it, I’d love to walk you through the process to make it quick and easy. Thanks again for your input—it helps us improve!
Best,
The SimpleLi Team
