Recent reviews

Exporting annotations back into Google Drive often ends up with a frozen screen that says "Loading" forever. You can reload the page and eventually get it to work, but it's totally annoying. Otherwise it's pretty good.

"Need to upgrade to premium". If you want a working extension without needing to pay lots of money this is not the right extension. Everything costs money on this.
