Joshua Lyons (ID: 0000002fba1fb507) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 Literally the worst thing ever, my school forced me to get it, and since when did you need to sign in to use a PDF????? Google drive can do exactly this but ten times better. DO NOT GET THIS EXTENSION!!! and it's kind of sketchy because it has full access to your google drive and classroom. DO NOT GET, AND WHY CAN YOU NOT DELETE IT!?!?!?!?!?!

Sophia Yan (ID: 000000ae3f19988f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/15/2022 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.
