User reviews

Funny looking at the one star reviews by students on here. I think this speaks volumes to how much of a great tool this is. This extension works great, would recommend. Hoping it works for Google Slides eventually.

Very helpful for teachers to confirm whether something was written by the student or not.

massive invasion of privacy and makes everything you do on a document watched and reviewed. if you dont have enough trust in a person to be writing legit, then thats an issue you have to handle yourself
