User reviews

Love the concept but cannot get it to work :(

this is a great extension for the jeopardy fans. I would connect my PC to the TV and be the host for my family. The only issue is this extension does not work with Celebrity Jeopardy games because they have a triple jeopardy round and this is not understand that and won't work. Four rounds in total including final jeopardy. Fix the extension to work with celeb games and this extension will completely work with the website.

The extension is great and typically works quite well but it seems to have stopped working as of April 12, 2023. It was functioning properly on the previous day. I have tested across multiple devices and uninstalled/reinstalled the extension but nothing has solved the issue.
