Alex Bunting (ID: 00000074e95f9cea) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/21/2023 This is generally fine and has been very useful in the past, but has now ceased to function in google docs. It just doesn't load :(

icon

LMSven Järgenstedt (ID: 000000df473ae198) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/01/2021 This is a great extension. For me as a teacher it works perfectly. It´s easy to use and after having created your own comments, you can use it for many (all?) subjects. Some months ago I had some problem. I contacted the team and I got very quick support althouht it was at a Saturday! (Tt showed up that it was due to a google update). I really would recommand this program and I am very happy that I found out about this addon.

Keith White (ID: 0000000a77e45435) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/29/2020 vert helpful to have comments ready at hand . . .. instead of typing each one

K Mason Schecter (ID: 00000042d9a47194) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/04/2020 An incomparable time saver for annotating student essays. Custom comments are easily added and modified, and each generation of this extension has improved significantly upon the last. Truly excellent.

Chris P (ID: 00000038dfecdcd0) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/01/2019 Good concept. Interface looks like it's from the 80s. It would be great if you could edit the prepopulated comments instead of only adding your own. Also, the option to edit the comment prior to posting allows the opportunity to personalize the feedback. Overall, not good enough to replace the Canned Comments feature in Google Classroom (which is FREE).
