| 2024-11-13 |  | | en | It's pretty good, but my only complaint is the lack of a full screen option. I really don't like having black bars on the screen. Please add this option. The full screen option was working before the last update. Any chance we can get it back? Thanks. |
| 2024-07-25 |  | | en | Awesome extension! Thank you! |
| 2024-07-12 |  | | en | Always the same 30 photos are shown, when I have near 600 photos in my album |
| 2024-04-17 |  | | en | Hey Cory - I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE EXTENSION and have been using it ferociously for years. Lately I added a lot of pictures to my google and the app has been refusing to reconnect now matter how many times I install/uninstall, remove chrome, reinstall chrome, restart my computer. I even went as far as moving a folder with only 600+ photos to a different gmail acccount and trying to connect that instead but the app seems stuck forever. Can you please fix? thank you very much. brings a smile to my face and this extension is such a gem. |
| 2024-01-20 |  | | en | I really enjoy this app! I don't understand what Zee is talking about. If having your choice of the images that appear whenever you open a new tab would be too much of a “distraction” for you, then why would you add an app that enables you to have that choice in the first place? And why rail against this app for drawing your images from Google Photos? It has to draw your photos from somewhere. Even if the images came from an alternate source, having your choice of images appearing in new tabs would be no less “distracting”. |

| 2021-04-23 |  | | It would only show me two of my photos, no matter how many tabs I opened. Even the settings weren't helpful. Would not recommend, but who reads the reviews on web store anyway? | |

| 2020-07-16 | Rowena Luk | | Highly recommend. Photos New Tab is a great way to bring a smile to my day at work, by reminding me of a good memory every time I open a new tab on my browser. I appreciate being able to selectively pick which Google Photos albums to show. |
