Not working no soundsss
Removing after a week of no sound no notifications. Is this still supported? I don't understand why it has such high stars.
This worked only for A FEW HOURS before notifications stopped showing up!! At least try to make it play an alarm sound if the notifications don't work!! I was so fed up with this that I made my own work break timer using JavaScript.
Wanted to be able to set it to 20 minutes but it only goes as low as 30. Also haven't seen a pop up yet, despite being at my desk for a couple of hours (sound on etc). I switch between browsing and other applications for work so could just be that I haven't been on Chrome when it goes off. But for this reason it isn't really doing what I need it to do.
It's good. I thought that the spelling mistake in the text would be fixed by now. Not really.
It worked for one day only. Beyond the first day installed it would not show any notifications no matter what troubleshooting tactics I tried.
This helps with getting me out of my seat every hour. I'll continue to use this extension, but I wish there was a "toggle on/off" option.
Great wish it had a custom option for time
Simple. Does what I need.
Simple, but great. Would be nice to have a turn off (temporararily) function
