| 2024-05-12 |  | | en | I cannot figure out how to make this work. Cannot find directions, etc....... |
| 2020-02-09 |  | | en | I am struggling to understand how this extension works. Search the web. I can't believe there is no. I am in slides and nothing . I see the option to go from 30 to 50 but can't see how this helps.video. Can anyone explain how this extension works. I use many other extensions I just don't find this one intuitive to use. |
| 2019-11-30 |  | | en | I get a message saying the app has not been verified by google for sign in (needed to work). Sounds like a great idea though. |
| 2018-02-28 |  | | en | Great idea for an extension! A useful tool that would be perfect if it could update the slideshow when you add images to the folder. Maybe in an update? |
| 2017-10-04 |  | | en | Getting a lot of errors-great idea and awesome when it works, but I'm batting about .200 here :( |
| 2017-05-30 |  | | en | I could only get it to pull in 30 slides at a time, and sometimes not even that many. They also are not in the order as in the folder, which would be nice. Still I can stitch together 4 slide presentations much faster than enter 100+ photos myself. Overall, a success. |
| 2017-05-21 |  | | en | Great idea, and the extension itself is good when it works. Half the time I get a Slides presentation with one blank slide at the beginning (and I can't find any troubleshooting help or directions built-in, which is frustrating). I wish I could insert more than 50 photos, although I can divide my photos into sets of 50 and then copy/paste the Slides into one big presentation as a workaround, so I'm not too upset about that. I do wish the Slides would be put in the order that the photos are in, though! At first glance, it appears that my Slides are in reverse order, but when I look a little more closely I see some random photos scattered into the sequence. I also dislike the pop-up advertisement for the creators' book -- it comes up on my screen with no way to X out of it, so I have to refresh my browser in order to be able to function again. |
| 2017-05-08 |  | | en | This is a wonderful tool if you are working with 50 photos or less. For someone who needs to construct the graduation slideshow, this needs the capability for importing hundreds of images at a time. If I could, I would rate it with five stars for what it will do, and am rating it with three stars for what it won't do. |
