- (2025-02-13) Sham Brain: I’ve been a loyal user of this extension for a long time and truly love it! However, recently, I've encountered an issue that’s been bothering me: I can no longer remove the search bar widget once it's added. I accidentally added two search bars, and now I'm stuck with them. My page is already filled with important shortcuts, so this is becoming a hassle. I kindly request that you consider adding a feature to remove existing widgets. I attempted to manually edit the JSON, but the formatting got messed up. I'm eagerly awaiting an update to resolve this issue. Thank you so much!
- (2024-10-25) Steph L: How do I change the default search browser...right now it is directing me to Yahoo I want Google please help.
- (2024-09-25) ng gn: I like the extension. Very useful. Just one issue - I added one more search widget to SquarePAGE by mistake. I can't find how to remove it. Can you advise please? Thank you.
- (2023-12-07) Cassie Face: I Love everything about this extension! There's so much potential too! I so wish I had a lightweight app with this ability for my desktop! I hope that a photo widget will be added, updated colors to include black for the notes widget, and perhaps a pinboard with image thumbnails in the future? :) Great job you guys!! Thank you so much for your awesomeness!

- (2022-08-20) Onur Korkmaz: It's really good, I would love to see a widget to add pictures (PNG Supported) and resize/ relocate however we like. This simple addon can create a lot of personalization options.

- (2022-05-23) Tommy Geoco: Loved this at first, used it as my 1-man business dashboard for all of my critical shortcuts to my different tech and marketing stacks. Came back one day to see the entire dashboard had been cleared and defaulted back to the original out-of-the-box view. Can't have that happen. Huge productivity loss.

- (2022-05-23) Rulesless: This morning’s update erased all the settings and then the links saved on the extension. As if that were not enough now it's impossible decide which search engine use, preset is Google. The developers did not respond, I hoped throughout the day that they would release a downgrade, but nothing.

- (2022-05-23) Hunter Jefferson: Today's update makes this extension worthless. Not only did it delete all of my home page's customizations, you can no longer copy settings to other browsers and other computers.

- (2022-03-25) Isabel Perry: Honestly, it's a nice extension, but it's missing some features which I feel like it should have. For example, I could place the weather widget, and it looks nice & is useful, but let's say I don't want a background on the widget, what I'd expect was for a extension such as this to allow me to turn off a widgets background, or customize it in some other way, but I cannot. I also hate the settings button at the top, I'd rather be able to turn it off & use a shortcut like ctrl + shift + l or something to access to setting, or at least be able to move and resize the settings button like everything else. If there are changes such as described made, then I'll 100% use this extension again in the future.

- (2022-02-23) Tamás Jakab: Very good, but it has shortcomings. It would be nice to have a button or option to add the open tabs to a specific workspace. If someone wants to switch to this from another similar app and has a lot of saved stuff, it makes it harder. That's how I went ...

- (2021-05-11) Fred Sexton: Simple and Saves Time Took me like 3 minutes to install. Like that it's got options for customizing what widgets and how I want stuff displayed. The video background is neat plus too, gotten some comments about that. I've got Amazon and Google search bars here which saves me a fair amount of time.

- (2021-05-07) Thomas Reynolds: Blown away by the quality and features of this extension! Google should be ashamed by how inferior the default is compared to this. I'd give this 10 stars if I could.

- (2021-02-16) Oscar Ade Gunawan: its very nice, almost perfect. there is just one weakness. please make it load faster, make it works offline. and i suggest to add a bit more feature. for example, to make it focus on the search bar at startup, or to add the custom animation background, etc
