2023-06-01	Gamer Patrick	so i downloaded this then i pooped myself and farted a lot so its only because of the extension ok this sucks butt
2023-04-05	데이터플랫폼박대성	It would be nice to be able to support hotkeys in a Mac OS environment as well. Ctrl + Alt + is not supported by Mac os.
2021-12-17	daylynn donnaclaire	its okay but I wish i could use it as a highlighter, it doesn't work for highlighting PDF's or anything like that because the drawings move up and down with the page, they don't stay in the place you originally drew them. If this was fixed i would give it a 5/5
2021-12-13	YIRETD GONZALEZ	Great interface. Easy to use. It is all I needed! Shortcuts don't work and the new tab is anoying.
2021-12-11	Ryan Blanchard	Didn't work for me. I was trying to use it on the site https://www.smalltownwoman.com/apple-fritter/ and on an ASUS C423N Chromebook, using Google Chrome version 94... it just didn't work at all. Did nothing. Minor update I reloaded the page and it looks like it works for like the top 40% of the page but then for some reason when I scroll below about 40% or so, the tool just disappears (it replaces your mouse with, for example, a pencil icon if you're using the pencil tool). End result is still the same... it doesn't work. It should work for 100% of a page not the top 40% of it.
2021-11-30	Humberto Gómez	Changes your "New Tab" setting to use their "sponsored" web search. Unacceptable.
2021-11-25	Ariel Andrei Bosenko	It allows to paint on web page as a canvas. Page scrolling is still enabled, so you can fully use the page as regular - just select a cursor mode
2021-11-17	Arthur Jiang	The app itself is amazing, so many uses and all of them work fine. But it replaces your new tab screen and you can't access your bookmarks. Does anyone know if you can disable that?
2021-11-17	Michael Embley	could not annotate PDFs
2021-11-15	Orrin Gray	I'm not going all the way down, because I didn't even use it. I was about to test it on a blank website, when my new tab page was swapped.
2021-11-11	Riley York	Includes Bing as your New Tab page. Basically just bloatware.
2021-11-01	Hê-bí Ngô͘	What the... New update changes Chrome homepage without asking for a permission and there's no option to disable it!
2021-10-28	Naethan Fajarito	Great tool for annotating sites, but changes new tab without permission. Sadly, to change I have to remove the extension
2021-10-28	Raymond Boucher	It is a great extension! I really loved the previous version of it, because it did not annoyingly change my homepage. With the extension enabled, it automatically sets a new homepage that I completely despise. I want my browser to open Google, with the option to go to email or my waffle menu...anything else is disruptive. This seems like an unnecessary setting by the maker that could be changed. I would love to rate this as 5 stars but I often simply keep it turned off and forget to even use the extension because of this one major annoyance.
2021-10-25	madhawa supun	great .love it ..but no option to agust test
2021-10-25	Clint Lees	I can no longer recommend this. It takes over the 'new tab' option in Chrome. Was good - now it's not.
2021-10-22	Janmejaya Dasgupta	Web paint used to work, but now it replaced my new tab with another tab. Search something, and it gets searched in bing Please fix the extension
2021-10-22	VMZ	This extension was very useful and aided in marking up screen content for ideas etc. However, it now takes over your home page and replaces it with its own search integrated with Bing (of all things) maybe for affiliate or other marketing tactics. Any app taking over your pages or search functions should be considered as dangerous and even more so when there is no option to remove the takeover page without deleting the app.
2021-10-18	Rehan Abid	THIS IS A VIRUS/SCAM IT HIJACKS YOUR BROWSER TO BING WHICH IS CALLED CHARMSEARCHING, INSTANTLY UNINSTALL!!!
2021-10-16	Vonalier	功能确实不错，但是会更改主标签页就有点难搞哦
2021-10-14	Amali M	No option to change my preferences. Unusable.
2021-10-11	Arthur de Aquino	When you install it immediately takes over you "new tab" settings and apparently only works there. Will change the rating if I can use it some other way.
2021-10-11	Chris Johns	Does unauthorized changes to Chrome.
2021-10-11	Denis OConnor	Accidentally set one of my drawings to "background" and now every new tab displays it. I couldn't find any settings to undo it so I had to uninstall then reinstall it. If there is already a way to undo that, I would advise making it easier to be found. The new window now only searches using Bing. This should give users the choice to stick with their own default one. Once these two features are fixed it would be 5 stars. Very easy to use and still the best I've found so far.
2021-10-08	Anson Levine	Worked pretty well and good until it decided to change my home page without permission. Nope, not having that again.
