Testing Quantum Gravity in the Multi-Messenger Astronomy Era
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a nice short review on quantum gravity astrophysical tests and as such I think it should be published. The only comment I have is that the authors should at least cite, and possibly also discuss briefly the findings of he paper

Reply:
We thank the Referee for drawing attention to such an important paper. Unfortunately, we missed it. We cite it in accordance with the Referee's suggestion, along with a short discussion of the main findings of this paper (lines: 289 – 303).
Reviewer 2 Report
The review does not touch some aspects of quantum gravity effects, but it wasn't expected.
My only comment is to add numerical restrictions for QG scale obtained in different methods.
Otherwise the reader has to look for such bounds in the literature cited.
The review assumes the presence of such estimates and restrictions in the paper.
Best regards,
Reviewer
