| 2024-11-20 |  | | en | This clearly an open source keylogger! Major security concerns are displayed in this extension. I agree that this is a powerful and extremely useful tool for teachers that could help them with ensuring a student's work is truly theirs, but I am extremely concerned by the functions and intentions of this extension. The playback function clearly demonstrates the use of a keylogger and may even encourage others to extract the source code of the program and use it for illegal purposes. As the user below 'ropz florr' has said, this extension does not pass the vibe check. |

| 2024-11-03 |  | | en | Super useful for teachers like myself! In future updates, I'd love to see this tool work on Google Slides too, not just Google Docs. Is that something you're working on? |
| 2024-10-16 |  | | en | Works most of the time, but sometimes the revision history replay shows extra and incorrect characters throughout the text, even though they don't show up on the actual document or in the standard revision history (making it somewhat unintelligible). Either this is a flaw with the extension or students have found a way to fool it. Either way, it makes it a bit less useful. I've noticed that this tends to happen on the essays I'm most concerned are using AI to write for them (which is why it might be something the students are doing to mess with the revision history). |
| 2024-10-10 |  | | en | Product does exactly what it promises. Very easy to use. I Love being able to see the writing process as a video (and being able to speed it up is super helpful for saving time) |

| 2024-09-04 |  | | en | This product is seriously flawed and poses significant risks to your privacy and security. It’s easily one of the worst on the market, riddled with issues that can compromise your personal data. The software is poorly designed, with glaring vulnerabilities that leave your sensitive information exposed to hackers and data breaches. Moreover, the company’s data handling practices are questionable at best, with a strong likelihood that your personal details could be sold or misused without your consent. Users should exercise extreme caution and avoid this product at all costs if they value their privacy and data security. I will be taking legal action. |
