2023-05-26	Sophie Phillips	This doesn't work very well. An entire corner is permanently white with the background for each icon blacked out.
2023-05-25	Erin Moomaw	Doesn't work at all. I've refreshed, closed the browser, uninstalled/reinstalled. Won't work.
2023-05-23	Rea Greenwood	Works for me and looks great. I just had to refresh my google docs after turning it on to get it to load and now it works just fine. My eyes thank you!
2023-05-21	B	Not working, sorry.
2023-05-18	cindy chang	works great, exactly what i was looking for.
2023-05-10	Ashton	So far this is my favorite dark mode extension, especially because I can still change the color of the page and it doesn't alter any pictures that I paste unlike Docs After Dark. However, it still only gets 4 stars because some of the editing buttons are difficult to see in this mode.
2023-05-09	Ariel Clingan	Doesn't work at all. No change whatsoever
2023-05-08	LeeAnn Ziegler	I love the quick access to toggle on and off with simple buttons. Yes, a paypal button appears at the bottom after a bit but it disappears a moment later and its very unobtrusive. I think its appropriate and effectively and tastefully done. I use the experimental dark mode flag for chrome, so I do find it unfortunate that the only options in this extension are flat black or straight white, basically on/off. The experimental dark mode is more of a gray but does not touch the doc itself, so when I use this to darken the doc to flat black it looks a little harsh. Still, it is most effective, simple and unobtrusive. I just wish there were a way to dive deeper and customize the coloring. Thank you!

2023-04-20	Gyga	I used to love this extension but now apparently they decided to put buttons into Google Docs that link to the developer's Paypal and another to one of the developer's extensions. I was 100% OK with there being a donate button in the extension menu itself, but putting it in Google Docs is very frustrating/distracting to me. It's at least easy to close out of so it should be harmless for most people but I strongly dislike it. It should have kept the advertisements in the extension menu. Other than that, it's been pretty janky for me recently, sometimes it doesn't actually change the document itself to dark mode unless I turn the option off and back on. I'd rather just use the force dark mode option native to Chrome at this point. Basically, this extension is functional, it does its job near perfectly. It's just some hiccups that make me feel neutral on it, especially when alternative forced dark mode options already exist using Chrome settings or other extensions. Most people will probably find this useful if all they care about is Google Docs being in dark theme and can tolerate my criticisms.
2023-04-17	Wesley Hall	Mega epic, only problem is that it inverts the colors on images, because thats how the dark mode option works.
2023-04-17	price tag bfb	i installed this and now my browser is managed... 😺
2023-04-11	Luka Bajkin	Works fine, exactly as advertised, ignore low 3 star review
2023-04-10	Alienb0o	It works but its not the best on colored text
2023-04-07	brian knapp	Works, thank you.
2023-04-07	ares marx	I like it. Basic but good for writing fanfiction at 3 am.
2023-03-31	Angelica Michels	Just added it. Pretty straight forward and really saves me from eye strain.
2023-03-30	The White Hatted Gamer (Dave)	Litteraly just doesn't even do anything
2023-03-27	RealityMan101	My rating may change, and it probably will in the future as I just installed it - but whether it'll be a more positive or negative change depends on how often I find features or bugs I don't like, but I digress. For now, out of all the problems I have at first glance, is an issue I've found with pictures. So far, all this extension has done is invert all of the color on a given page rather than just change the color of the page and the characters. I guess I can just turn it off when viewing pictures separately, but it'd be a nice quality of life feature to have the pictures untouched, if the brightness brought down just a bit.
2023-03-25	Chris P	God, thank you. My eyes thank you.
2023-03-23	Alice Clarke	Hi! It needs updating as now a bunch of the icons are near invisible.(insert image, paragraph, etc)
2023-03-21	Aaron Blumenthal	1. The buttons to invert are hidden beneath Google Doc's new "add comment" toolbar on the right side of the screen, making this extension nearly unusable. 2. Dark mode does not play nice with Google Docs UI: some elements become illegible; others just look ugly. 3. On the page itself, dark mode simply inverts the colors. This is unsatisfying; a true dark mode (such as in Microsoft Word or iPad Google Docs) modifies other colors without inverting them. If you urgently have to use some kind of dark mode on desktop Google Docs, this will suffice. But for most people, this app is not worth using.
2023-03-20	Lorenzo Amantillado	Great extension! Wish it extended on other google tools like calendar and spreadsheets to name a few..
2023-03-19	Eve Lessard	My eyes are saved! As a college student staring at a bright white document for hours without end, this extension has saved not only my eyes but my head and just my mind altogether. It's super easy to use and is pretty personalizable (if that's even a word).
2023-03-15	Icy	It's a little lazy, all it does is inverse the colours in google docs, there are a lot of better extensions then this.
