- (2025-03-05) Jdjd Dgeh: Horrible For the past 38 years, I have spent all 26 hours of my days searching for the best extensions on the Chrome Web Store to show my youtube audience, but boy, I have never seen an extension this bad. At best, it's a waste of a few hundred kilobits of data. DONT BUY!
- (2025-03-04) Yeet: School Spy Make Grandson See Horror I am old man. I do not know many thing, but I know love grandson. He is good boy, smart boy. He do school, he listen, he try hard. But one day, school tool destroy him. Make him see thing no child should see. It start when he do homework. He type in Google Docs, like good student. Then school send message. "You break rule. You do bad." But what bad?! He just type! No curse, no fight, just word! But school say, "We see all. We know all." Grandson come to me, shaking like tree in storm. "Grandpapa," he whisper, "they say I break rule. They say they watch everything." His face white, his eye big with fear. "I do not feel safe, grandpapa. They see all I do." I am shock. "What is this?! School is for learn! Not for spy!" They make child scared to write? To think? This is no good! I go to school, I yell, I say, "Stop this! Let boy be free!" But they say, "No. Policy." POLICY?! What is policy if it make child afraid?! I think, "At least he safe from bad thing. At least school tool protect." But no. I am fool. It do not block Call of Duty Zombies. I think it stop him, keep him away from horror. But it do nothing! NOTHING! That night, he play. He think safe. But the zombies come. They scream, they run, they eat. He see too much. He see the terror. He is not ready. He cry out. He drop controller. He hold head. "Grandpapa," he whisper, voice broken, "they were everywhere. I could do nothing." I am in shock. "Why school stop Google Docs, but not this?!" They ban joke, they ban silly word, but they do not stop horror?! I do not understand! I take him outside. I say, "Come, boy. We touch grass. We be free." But he only stare. The light in his eyes, it is gone. Thank you very much electric art. My grandson is now life shock and have to take pill everyday. This is a horrible. Very very a horrible.

- (2025-03-04) Hehehj Dudhheue: Invasive and Ridiculous – Especially the Poop Emoji Ban I can’t believe schools are actually using this extension. It’s one thing to monitor students for academic integrity, but this goes WAY too far. This extension tracks every little thing students do on Google Docs, turning what should be a tool for creativity and collaboration into a surveillance nightmare. It’s invasive, unnecessary, and just plain overkill. But the absolute worst part? The banning of the poop emoji. Yes, you read that right. Apparently, of all the things to focus on in a school setting, administrators have decided that the poop emoji is a major problem. Not cheating, not actual disruptive behavior—just a harmless, goofy emoji that’s been around forever. What possible harm could it cause? Who exactly decided that students typing 💩 in a Google Doc was a threat to education? It’s absurd and frankly embarrassing. Beyond that, the extension makes students feel like they’re constantly being watched, which is stressful and unnecessary. It discourages creativity and natural collaboration because people are too afraid they’ll get flagged for something trivial. Instead of fostering a productive learning environment, it creates paranoia. If schools really care about education, they should be helping students learn—not micromanaging their Google Docs activity to a ridiculous degree. And banning something as harmless as the poop emoji? That’s just laughable. If I could give this extension zero stars, I would. 💩/10.
- (2025-03-04) Cory Weissman: Did not give me the promised fortnite aimbot. 1 star.
- (2025-03-04) Tiny Child: This extension ruined my life. My step dad has always been very abusive. He often forces me into intimate contact. Unlike my real dad, who I am happy to engage in such pleasures with, I hate it when he does this. Anyway, a few months ago he installed this extension on my phone and used it to control my actions. One day, he abused me so bad I called 911. Well, I tried to. When I went into my google docs to search up the phone number, it was blocked. This extension led to months of unneccesary abuse for an Alabaman 10 year old. Hope your happy with yourselves.

- (2024-01-25) Tom# 2 S: Makes sharing things via Gmail almost impossible.
- (2023-12-22) hii: It hurts student productivity by blocking things like google images.
- (2023-02-10) Luke Tidball: Many features of this extension are either useless or hurts productivity. *Blocking Google games does nothing, as they can find alternatives online. *Removing link previews makes opening to other links tedious as the students are forced to copy the link and paste it in a new tab *Not letting students use Google Images for Google Docs makes finding copyright free stock images harder. This extension does so little and hurts the productivity of students, makes their time more miserable, and only restricts the options teachers have to utilize for assignments.

- (2020-10-09) Eden Nelson: Safe Doc is an invaluable tool! It does what it says it does, and it won't break the budget doing it. The feature list is too long to list, but it gives you the control over Google Drive/Docs that everyone wishes Google would have built-in. The big Highlights for us are: stopping student to student sharing, removing Image Search / Research tool. Bonus remove the students ability to use these 💊, 💉, 🖕, 🗡, 🔫, 🔪, 💩, 🚬 Symbols.
