• (2023-10-11) Niall Ridgway: Works well. Take the time to understand how to use the text codes and it'll work perfectly.
• (2023-10-01) Paul Robertson: Best I can judge, the instructions lack clarity and examples. "Add $ in a count down or up timer to start it in a paused state." Well, there's no example of this further down, so should I write <<$0:00>> , <<0:00$>>, or some other combination? I'm looking at this because after using the timer once successfully on a slide, it never worked again. Hitting the "e" key indeed resets it to the first value, but that will not start the timer again. Hitting "d" only advances it by one second. It never does a countdown again, despite instructions stating to “Pause and restart timers with the d key.” So either the instructions are poor, or the timer simply does not work more than once. Another irritating feature: as soon as you launch your slideshow, the timer has already started. So if you want a certain countdown time, make sure to add in the extra seconds it takes for the slide to load. If you are trying to present one line at a time and hitting a key to advance your presentation by paragraph, bad news: your timer started already and is finished, and you can't use it any longer. Returning to the timer slide from elsewhere in your presentation does not reactivate it either. Only exiting slideshow mode and refreshing the entire presentation achieves this. And to answer the riddle above about the $? Neither of the forms I tried worked - at least with the instructions I've seen so far. In a review above I see someone has written that we shouldn’t use a text box, but rather a rectangle for this. That seems like a fairly unintuitive step, so instructions are certainly lacking there as well. Great idea, would be a nice feature if I could understand how the developer imagines it is supposed to work.
• (2023-08-01) Jayce Muturi: It Worked perfectly! I was trying to make a fake operating system. And this helped!! So I can show the time.
• (2023-06-22) Matt Hardwick: Doesnt work.
• (2023-05-16) Simple and effective. Worked perfectly
• (2023-04-06) Arielle Salsali: It does not work as it is supposed to, but the codes are easy. I insert in many different codes, but the codes are unable to work.
• (2023-02-27) Mona Rizvi: Just what I wanted! Thanks! This worked immediately for me. It is very simple and so useful!
• (2022-12-19) Michael Phillips: I am on the latest version of Chrome and Brave. The extension does work but you have to close out of the browser and open it again. I did close all of the tabs if that matters.
• (2022-11-14) Pamela Hill: Doesn't work. I see that it used to work for people, but it's not working right now.
• (2022-11-03) Beatriz Binnie: Doesn't work at all. Tried installing it a few times. Followed all the instructions in several YouTube videos, however it doesn't work for me. PLEASE fix this because this extension would be very useful. I can't believe that there aren't any other options. This is the only one and it doesn't work =(
• (2022-09-15) r8escjohn: Did work but now in Chrome 105.0.5195.125 no work again on PC/Mac :-< Too bad as this was an awesome extension and much needed in Slides!
• (2022-08-31) Sagar Pathare: Works perfectly! I wish Google had this in Slides by default.
• (2022-06-28) Anton Verhelst: Cool app, make sure you restart Chrome after installing to get the extension working!
• (2022-06-28) Javier Balán, fsc: Wow.. it's a great solution for add timers on slides with a simple steps. Thanks Clay 😊 Just follow instructions exactly.
• (2022-06-13) Working well so far - exactly what I needed
• (2022-06-09) AliceKeeler Keeler: This is fantastic! As a teacher I need a timer for my Slides all the time. I want to give students time to process or discuss with their elbow partner. How is this free?! So helpful!
• (2022-06-06) Алексей Марцинкевич (Горгулий): Работает исправно. Пара моментов которых не хватает: – возможность выравнивания по центру – возможность сделать обратный отсчет от конкретного дня/времени
• (2022-06-02) Miriam P (The Planning Mimzy): I REALLY wanted to like and use this extension. Despite following everyone's advice and the instructions on the website and on an article about this extension, it never worked. I will find something else to use.
• (2022-05-01) Hi I am a Teacher in the United States! I installed this app once, because another teacher told me. I removed it because I didn't know how to use it. Now I looked on TechWeb (My Schools teachers curriculum website) on how to use it. I tried installing it again, but when I clicked on the icon the second time nothing came up, no instructions but only settings. I am Bummed for loosing this experience :( Please fix it. I am giving it a 2 because it's a well deserving extension, but for me it doesn't work :(
• (2022-04-20) Tracie W: This does not work!
• (2022-01-25) Joe Lee: for some reason, the icon is there but it doesn't work for me.... :(
• (2021-12-09) Arpita Mukherjee: Does not work for me.
• (2021-12-01) Paula Schlotterbeck: I can't get this to work in a published presentation shared via the web (we use this method to Chromecast to television monitors in our agency lobbies/stores and staff have requested a clock slide with the current time). If anyone has found a workaround I'd love to learn about it!
• (2021-11-06) Ember N: works better than the rest. just not really pretty. can use different kinds of font.
• (2021-10-08) WEI LOON CHEE: It is a simple and highly functional extension. However I was unable to display time in 12 hours format with AM/PM when inserting <<time>> as instructed. The time is shown in 24 hours format instead. Hope this bug will be fixed soon.
• (2021-09-23) Chris England: Worked without any issues. Using on Google Slides on a HP Chromebook.
• (2021-09-06) Andy Pike: Great idea. Works in presenter mode but not in a published slideshow
• (2021-08-30) Jennie Bui: This extension didn't work for me when the email account that I was accessing my google slides from was different from the email account that download google extension. As soon as I used the same email account to access the google slides it worked like a charm! Thank you
• (2021-08-06) Jürgen Strauss: Nice idea, but doesn't work!
• (2021-07-31) Nathan Tsai: Works well! Cons: - timers are always left aligned - timers do not activate when put into a textbox (put into a rectangle instead) Pros: - Super easy to use! No video embeds necessary - Presenter View is again supported :)
• (2021-07-13) Valor: Didn't work.
• (2021-05-16) Samantha De Jager: Awesome simple and effective. I'm a teacher so this will help me out in online school. Thank you.
• (2021-04-22) Leslie McBeth: Clay, thank you for fixing the issue with Presenter View. It works PERFECTLY now. Getting our whole team to install.
• (2021-04-19) rnj-nj&: не работает :,(
• (2021-04-15) Liliana Toptchiyska: It didn't work for me for some kind of reason :/
• (2021-03-16) V C: Need more customization, like remove the seconds and add a blinking colon divider between hours and minutes.
• (2021-02-01) Peter Thrun: Worked perfectly, would be helpful to have some installation instructions as it took a bit to figure out how simple it is to use.
• (2021-01-05) Juan Lopez: Now it works, thanks for fixing up!
• (2020-12-17) Techquity Education: I just tried it and it's working again! Good stuff! Good stuff! I have embedded the timer into my Bitmoji classroom and it super clean! Super clean!
• (2020-10-05) Kat Mannel: Great for a (virtual) classroom! Make sure you edit the extension permission in the extensions manager tab, or it won't work.
• (2020-09-27) Pam Burke: I was excited to use this extension, but it does not work.
• (2020-09-22) Katrina Hill: I used it for just about everything and then it stopped working on us. Such a shame for it was very helpful with productivity. Best to you in hopes you can repair or replace this extension
• (2020-09-22) Никита Бондарь: It didn't work Please, update it
• (2020-09-22) Emily Carmichael: This extension does not work at all. The site claims it's compatible with my device. I tried installing it repeatedly. The icon NEVER shows, so apparently it's never available. This was a huge waste of planning time.
• (2020-09-13) Brandon Daiker: Works great and when Google made some changes that broke it the dev immediately jumped into the comments and said they'd work on fixing it over the weekend. Great support for a free extension.
• (2020-09-10) Stephanie Pappas: This worked for a day and then stopped working
• (2020-08-24) Lauren Montgomery: Didn't work
• (2020-08-23) Dionne Liberia: It didn't work.
• (2020-08-17) Stephen Anderson: So simple and cool! I was looking for a countdown timer for Google Slides, and this is perfect. You can use any font, bold, etc. Most other solutions I found when searching for this involved embedding and muting a YouTube video into the presentation. This works much better and is much more versatile. The count up and current time features are added bonuses. I'm sure I can find good opportunities to use them going forward.
• (2020-07-14) Ammar Merhbi: Amazing! However, when I try a "presenter view" and the slide shows in the browser and not as full screen, it does not work.

• (2020-10-05, v:1.12) Justyna Kaletka: The extension did not work
  Hi! I was looking for a timer functionality that I could use for google slides, however your extension didn't work for me. I added <<2:00+>> and <<3:00->> in the slide, but nothing happened in the presenter mode. I enabled the extension to access docs.google.com. Thanks for your help. Justyna
• (2020-09-22, v:1.11) Brandon Daiker: Timers broken again as of 9/21
  Looks like after being fixed up the timers are now not working again--only the active slide when you click "present" actually times down. Many thanks for your support.
• (2020-09-21, v:1.10) Jason Escamilla: 09/20 Update - Is Not Working Properly
  Hi I love your timer and use it in my classes. I have 3 slides with different timers to time 3 different activities and it worked perfectly all last week. However, today after noticing the 09/20 update, the timer only counts down on the slide that is selected when I click "PRESENT"- when I go to the next slide it does NOT proceed to count down despite the timer text being present. Please repair :/ Thank you! -Jason Escamilla ([email protected])
