| 2025-02-26 |  | | en | Used to be a helpful tool to combat cheating. Now charging $100/year. |
| 2025-02-16 |  | | en | Dev is taking advantage of the current prevalence of accusations of AI written work to sell an overpriced extension. Not worth it when I can just record my screen for free. Don't support this greedy behavior. Use free alternatives. |
| 2025-02-05 |  | | en | Excellent |
| 2025-01-31 |  | | en | Draftback used to be a great free tool, but now they’re charging $9.99 a month. Way too expensive for what it does. Super disappointing to see a once-free service lock its features behind a paywall. Not worth it. |
| 2024-12-10 |  | | en | Works for google docs (with long load time) but nothing else. Things like google slides and google sheets, you can see the button but it just keeps on loading and unclickable. I mean an't they just as important? Why can't we use it? |
| 2024-12-04 |  | | en | yo ts entire extension a snitch 😭😭😭😭😭😭 |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | en | It stopped showing me the graph/stats part-- it tells me to re-render it, which I do, but it still doesn't show that part anymore. Ugh. |
| 2024-11-01 |  | | en | This has been working well for me but I have a recent document that just shows up as blank. Any suggestions? |
| 2024-06-19 |  | | en | Loved it but now it won't show me the video or anything. It says it renders it but then has nothing to show. Any solutions to this?? |
| 2024-06-13 |  | | en | Question - what does it mean when sentences being written are both red/struck through AND green at the same time? Is this an indication of cut and past from another document? |
