(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.

(2021-09-14) 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...
