Recently, the animated icon have become very slow or even stuttery; please help update them.

used to be great, now when you delete emails they wont go away, gmail keeps hanging needs an update for sure
Key L
ok but lately very slow in acknowledging that i've read or deleted emails :/
Dennis Payton
Had to remove it I could not delete emails from the PC with this installed. Every time I delete when I come back or check on phone they are still there. Use to work not anymore
Efrain Enriquez
Like the previous reviews state, recent updates have made gmail take forever to update. For anyone looking for a workaround, I've found that clicking into my spam inbox refreshes the number badge.
Seedy
A recent update broke the unread emails number badge and will not mark emails as read.
Alexander Samoylov
With latest version of gmail, it takes 3-5 min to update counter after mails were already read, and it's not updated if you just leave.
Panav Saraf
Very Good and helpful for students especially who study in IB Board.

Four longtime (year long?) occurring problems (Chrome OS, Android, Windows, used interchangeably): • When making an appointment or updating one and adding guests, one gets the possibility to NOT sending an e-mail. This does not work: emails are still sent, which is most annoying I use this to get the striped pattern of the appointment for "maybe attending", only possible when a guest is added, but do not want the addressee to know ... • The striped representation of the appointment is shown using Chrome OS and Windows (www?), but not on my phone (OnePlus since 8 Pro-now Pro 15, on Android 15-family). • An appointment in my mother tongue (Dutch) on www is not correctly translated to Android and vise versa: Input in Dutch shows English sequence (number street, without spaces) where Dutch should read street_number_postal code, so with spaces in between. This (also) ruins the possibilities to use Google Maps to show picture of the surroundings • An annoying habit is the automated translation of the name of my city-of-birth. The city is officially (all official records, such as birth certificate, passport, drivers licence, tax paper) called 's-Gravenhage (notice the "diacritics"), and in English sometime called Den Haag. Why correcting me, typing 's-Gravenhage (so starting with an apostrophe, a dash after the lower-case s and then a upper-case G) into Den Haag is beyond me and uncalled for, as I use it especially for official writing ... (FYI: Den Haag is, only in English the simplified name and means "The Hedge", whereas ´s-Gravenhage is the olden name still with a Second Case / Genitive / Possessive Case (like the second case in McDonald's): The Hedge of the Count (Graaf=Count, so The Count's Hedge.) Kindly: • stop sending e-mails for a shared-with-a-guest appointments when explicitly telling not to (or generate a possibility for "maybe" without a guest). • make the stripy look 'n' feel the same on all platforms. • dutch: street number, postal code, province, country is different from (US) English. • stop the annoying/un-necessary habit of automated translation of 's-Gravenhage into Den Haag in appointments. Questions (proficient in Dutch, English, French, German): you know my e-mail address ...

I would like it to become gray scale when there's no unread mails, so I can easily notice there's new mails.
Taishi Kasuga
It looks like this extension is only tracking the inbox. Why don't you include archived and labeled emails too?
Assyle Bezpříjmení
I use this extension for many years and never had problems with it. Unfortunately for almost a month is still showing me 2 unread emails notifications, even though I have no unread messages in inbox or other folders. I even double checked all the other folders. Please FIX it. thank you.
Paul E. Schafer
Annoying as heck. Deleted emails do not clear from checker tally. What's the point of having checker if it cannot accurately keep count of emails in your inbox?
Marcus Tong
Notification for gmail. Does what it advertises.
Tommy Thrasher
0 Stars. I cannot get rid of the extension to take a needed test. If you want to have an extension permanently on your computer this is the one that does NOT leave.
Nikolai Mynkow
must have extension if you like reading your inbox
Michal Hošek
Stávkuje.Nefunguje jako tomu bylo před cca dvěmi lety.Ale co je to platné,že tu někdo napíše nějakou recenzi,když se páni vývojáři nechytnou za rypák a nesnaží se s tím něco udělat.A to není jenom tady.
Fred Trétout
Really usefull. It will be nice to have the option to only see The Principal Box (not Promotion and Social..) Thx
M. Raquel Rivera
The extension is grey and not informing me of any new emails or identifying the number of unopened emails. What's happening?

Works well for 1 Gmail account but ignores the 2nd account, if any.
Jonathan Swearingen
I don't need to know how many I have unread, which is currently 20,342.....I need to know when new ones arrive.
Lamarr TD
I really like this, but recently if you have multiple windows open and this open in one - you are unable to open it again. This happens to me very often and it is very irritating. Would be 5 stars without
Andy Jones
This has been great in the past, but hasn't functioned for the past 2 weeks or so.
Matthew Ipcar
love this but needs bug fix- doesnt work.
Natasha Cristea

I've used this forever and now it doesn't work! And it seems that no one at google cares to solve the problem.
Dennis Lee

Essential add-on for keeping on top of e-mail (without needing to have Gmail open).
Hagi Lerman
The extension is showing the unread but when you click on the icon it wont open gmail
Lee Evans
Broke a week ago gave up and removed it.
Rob Snow
Works on a public gmail account. It shows number of messages and when you click it , it opens mail. However my workspace account , it appears to show the amount of emails but won't open the inbox.
Stephen Wong
Just find out the reason why the extension is not working. after some updates( I think it is the chrome OS), the extension can not multiple open the google mail if you are already opened one google mail in any where(any chrome window), in old time, one chrome window can open one google mail, but now all window can only open one google mail. if you already open one google mail tab in any other chrome window, you will not able to open an other google mail tab via the extension button. I think there are some changes in chrome os to treat all window as one, thats make the mail extension stop working if you already opened one. so make sure all of your google mail is closed in chrome(any window) and close the google mail tab after using it. P.S at least it work for me
Alycia Thomas
Counts the number of emails but doesn't open mailbox. The Dev. Mode suggestion didn't improve this either. Really bummed.
daniel frid
For those that can't get it to work; just open settings, enable developer mode, press update. I also switch the feature off and on. Maybe both are needed, maybe one of them. It worked for me.

It will be perfect if it can only check new mails in specific category configured by user. E.g. I just want it to check new mails in "Primary" and ignore new mails in "Promotions" and "Social".
