- (2023-06-12) tek marvel: virus protection now automatically deletes this extension as a threat, so apparently the developer added something we don't want, or else a hacker changed the extension in the chrome web store.
- (2023-06-07) Joshua Lennie: Worked great until the most recent update. Now, very unreliable. Previous version would always start automatically refreshing the page; updated version has to be started manually each morning. I continually find the extension has stopped refreshing, resulting in information being missed. Removing extension and trying to find one that actually works.
- (2023-05-15) Zarar Khan: I Tried almost every auto page refresher. I found it best to keep my fiverr always online. Its highly recommended if you are looking for fiverr or any page you want to keep always online Best ever
- (2023-05-04) Silverserri: This used to be my go-to refresher, as it could be set up and allowed to run independently of tabs not set for refreshing. After the most recent update, everything that was good and efficient about this refresher just... disappeared. The refresher will stop refreshing if you are not on the tab at all times. I tried opening and closing my browser, clearing my cache, etc, and still it stops refreshing as soon as you try to leave it to its own devices. No longer recommend.
- (2023-04-28) r j: This app appears to be tab state dependent. If browser(e.g., Edge) puts tab to sleep to save resources the app sleeps too. That is contrary to purpose of having the app on for that tab and makes it useless. I don't like the design. It has 16 huge fixed interval buttons ...seriously - 16 choices? Why not 5 or 50? ...and still does not have 12 min. 22.7sec., /s. Uninstalling and searching again for timer & tab refresh/restart app.
- (2022-09-15) WoWGeleto: Muy buena extensión. Antes usaba Actualización automática de pestaña y leyendo las reseñas vi una recomendación de Super Simple Auto Refresh. Y como no me cuesta nada probar vi que es mucho mejor que de que tenia usando.
- (2022-05-26) olatunji oluwanifemi: Very easy and automated
- (2022-05-26) Mark Legend: Very easy and automated.
- (2022-05-06) Aleksey Midenkov: You changed the URL, so my old extension disappeared and I had to figure out what's going on: I lost time for nothing. You changed the design to bolder but uglier one, so I'd prefer the older one with blue buttons.
- (2022-03-28) Patrick Jaus: It would be super useful to have a notification option that alerts when a certain phrase is NOT found anymore, like "item is out of stock".
- (2022-03-20) Promis Kumar: very bad
- (2022-03-14) Neshit Kumar Mondal: Not showed the countdown.
- (2022-03-02) Andrew Rich: Simple, easy to use, remembers specific URL to be reloaded (not just whatever happens to be open in a tab).
- (2021-12-02) Tomaz Bizjak: 1) Thanks for your effort (therefore 5 stars) 2) Not useful by multipage URL: someurl&page=1 --> someurl&page=2 --> someurl&page=3 3) Please upgrade!
- (2021-11-06) Janete Campos: Otimo, ele não generaliza a atualização, é um atualizador inteligente! Apenas define o site que eu quero! Amei! Parabéns!
- (2021-09-24) RedSnt: Powerful and effecient. I just wish it'd show the remaining time either as a tooltip or on the icon. I love how it's not a "tab" refresh, but a page refresh, and it only work on the tab that you activate it on.
- (2021-07-13) Daniel N: 1. Needs some default settings for the random refresh. 2. Needs an active countdown on the icon, like the old versions had. 3. Space needs to be optimized, because I shouldn't have to refresh to get to the bottom of the list.
- (2021-07-02) gbb danecrew: The best I've ever seen!!!! Thank you very much!!!!!
- (2021-05-31) Wickus Dickus: Works just like it needs to. I really like the random interval function.

- (2023-04-08, v:1.1) John: Auto Refresh and "Confirm Form Resubmission Popup" in Chrome
There is an issue in the program where if webpage with a form that is submitted is trying to be refreshed Auto refresh will fail to complete it's operation because it looks like it cannot bypass the form resubmission popup and will be stuck in a loop until the user manually refreshes the page and bypasses the form resubmission popup. If you can make a fix or give me advice how the extension can bypass this problem? Make a way in a new version to bypass this if detected? Also can you make a function where all active tabs no matter what domain you are on gets refreshed on your preset time. I remember in an older version I was able to refresh all tabs no matter if it was active or not based on my timer but now it's only being refreshed based on saved domains. Also make sure to make a wildcard option. Suppose I want to refresh google.com but sometimes at the end of the url parameters change and Auto refresh will not work. But if you make a wild card function like for example google.com/* so anything detected after the /* will get refreshed no matter what url parameters are being used. - (2022-10-14, v:1.1) Chris Quach: Show Notification when this text is found
Hello, Just want to say thank you for providing this extension for all to use free of charge. It is amazing. I would like to suggest saving the text used in "Show notification when this text is found". So, when I check "Show Notification", the text box to enter text could become a dropbox with previously used text. Thank you. Chris - (2021-12-01, v:1.1) Manik Bedi: it just stopped working
Hi i am not sure if I did something wrong, but it just wont work on any new site anymore. Can you please help? Thanks - (2021-10-21, v:1.1) Andrew Black: Sound?
Is there a way to recieve a sound when it is about to refresh the page? - (2021-10-07, v:1.1) Cliff M: not sure working properly
hello it does refresh but i decided to just let chrome refresh for a certain site. i think your app took it that i wanted no refresh at all. i tried "stop" then i tried "0". So how to i get your extendion to not interfere with chromes normal refresh on a certain site?
