- (2023-10-18) Joshua Lyons: Literally the worst thing ever, my school forced me to get it, and since when did you need to sign in to use a PDF????? Google drive can do exactly this but ten times better. DO NOT GET THIS EXTENSION!!! and it's kind of sketchy because it has full access to your google drive and classroom. DO NOT GET, AND WHY CAN YOU NOT DELETE IT!?!?!?!?!?!
- (2023-05-16) Ayaan Khan: very bad extension, plus it glitches out all the time and it takes so long to load. 1/10
- (2022-12-28) Alex C: worthless.

- (2022-07-15) Sophia Yan: works as intended BUT now each time you open a pdf, say from google classroom, you don't get to preview it. it just opens up. also YOU CANT UNDO MISTAKES WITH CTRL + Z. really annoying when i accidentally delete erase more than i intended while making diagrams. buggy and glitchy too, sometimes text boxes teleport. layout is clunky and not at all easy to operate EDIT: YOU CANT EXPORT ANNOTATIONS. OTHER PERSON CAN ONLY SEE IT IF THEY HAVE ORBITNOTE TOO. horrible, that's the entire reason people even download this.
- (2022-03-16) Zarah Jose: This extension was making my eyes hurt. I still cannot figure out how this thing works. It slowed down my device whenever I opened it, endless amounts of crashing, and sometimes it just appears as a black screen when I launch the extension. The amount of time it takes to load is just painful.
- (2021-12-09) Andrew Bal: Worst extension ever. My school forced me to download it and now i cant open a pdf that was not made by my school bord.
- (2021-09-14) Ariane M: I don't know why... but it doesn't work for me. My schoolboard downloaded it so I can't uninstall it. It used to work before it had a different name and it was upgraded or something, but whenever I try to open a PDF with it it's just a dark gray screen. Anybody have a solution for this? Because I need to use this extension to get my schoolwork done...

- (2021-02-07) Cee: how is this supposed to be accessible?! This thing is awful. Takes ages to install, the instructions are confusing, and it doesn't work. Keeps sending me round in circles after following the lengthy instructions. I'm glad I haven't paid for this rubbish.
- (2021-02-04) Trystin Butler: I have been having troubles for 2 days now, I have done everything possible to unadd the extension, reload my page, and check my whole computer, but all of the features to type, draw and put shapes are disabled, I dont know if I need my teacher to fix it, or if it is my fault. Please help :(

- (2020-12-16) avi: I use this for school and it works! But sometimes I click on it from google classroom but instead of it opening in a new tab it just opens over google classroom so I have to make a new tab with google classroom in it. But otherwise, it works!
- (2020-12-09) Gordon Li: As soon as I install the app, it forces me to use it as soon as I open a pdf even if I don't want to.
- (2020-12-07) Allison Gordon: It made it impossible to read pdfs
- (2020-11-04) John Logan: cost me the entire quarters grade. turned in all my final assignments and every single teacher said there was no work. text just dissappears.
- (2020-11-04) originai: What's with the " premium " !? This PDF reader used to be so good and one of my classes rely on it. but all the SUDDEN its saying " go premium " and we might end up falling behind I miss when you didn't have to go premium just to write something.
- (2020-10-30) Toon: This is complete terrible. I am trying to finish my work in school but it will never let me do ANYTHING It always saying for premium features in my school account this will not WORK for me.
- (2020-10-30) Absolute Disappointment: Completely replaced google docs on classroom one day, and I didn't even HAVE it. I can no longer work on my class work because all traces of being able to open something in docs has just been replaced with this thing that barely works, I can't even turn in my work with it.
- (2020-10-16) lno_onel da Asian: To all the teachers out there, just use Google docs, please. I beg of you
- (2020-10-15) DJUNGLESKOG: it does not work it takes 50 minutes to load up by that time i am done with my math class.

- (2020-10-09) Einsteinium: If I try to sign in with google, it starts spamming blank chrome windows
- (2020-10-07) Kelly Li: We were required to use this tool for class; however it was incredibly complicated to even get it to work. Once in, I found the tools to be inconvenient with errors everywhere. I honestly found it easier to pull up Paint. Not recommended.

- (2020-04-16) 집어린이: someone please help me how to uninstall this app. this app is so annoying and I don't know how to use it and I don't wanna know either. I clicked remove from the chrome and it never works. I clicked least 100 times and I'm getting stress while reading my document cuz I wanna make new copy and there are no buttons that allow me to do, idk y google allow this application
- (2020-04-16) 선이: It won't leave my computer. And when I tried to log into my school account it randomly installed. Yeah, I hate this a lot. And get this off of my computer.
- (2020-03-26) casey mahoney: An overall great tool in dealing witth the many PDF viewings you may nhave on a daily basis.
- (2020-03-05) L Galland: It wants to be able to download ALL my drive documents. That's a hard no from me buddy.
- (2020-02-27) Nathan Danopi: it doesn't work,considering my school FORCEFULLY installed it, and can't remove it. it interferes with Read Write. Considering in the past of me, i must say that PDF reader's are quite unsafe. it asked for these permissions: -Read and change all your data on the websites you visit -Communicate with cooperating websites -Know your email address -Manage your apps, extensions, and themes -Know your location But what i'm most concerned is why does a PDF reader need my location, and my email address. I cannot trust this, and it shouldn't need to do that much access. -Nathan Danopi
- (2020-01-08) Arushi Khanna: i dont want this
- (2019-09-10) kazibadema kalim: It exactly what i wanted perfect.
- (2019-08-04) Matheus Oliveira: It doesn't work, neither from web PDF files nor from PDF files in my computer. By choosing the file in the Windows Explorer and opening it in the browser, the extension simply keeps loading the URL - and most times changing the local file's name.
- (2019-05-21) IndominusRexxx: After I installed it, I couldn't UNinstall it.😒👎
- (2019-02-16) Tayyab Ikhlaq: works but improvements needed
- (2019-01-28) John Taggart: Okay first of all it won't work Second of all R&W, even after I uninstalled it, made it mandatory to install this PDF reader. Yeah remember Bonzi Buddy
- (2018-09-05) Jeff Greaves: Best tool I have seen when it comes to PDF's in Google. Love it.
- (2018-08-31) David Hankin: Works great!
- (2018-08-30) Nora Trentacoste: Easy to use once you get the hang of making sure you have full rights to an accessible PDF. You'll get a suggestion to scan with snapverter if the document is not accessible. Just follow the prompts, and you'll be reading and annotating PDFs in no time. I love using the highlighters to pull key information out of complex documents and make action lists.
