This location is historically important because humans have lived here for thousands of years, built iconic pyramids and relied only on the resources provided by the river in this desert landscape.

THE WORST EXTENSION EVER! it always watching and there are constantly pop ups and the fact or school forces us to use it is horrible

Literally the worst thing ever, my school forced me to get it, and since when did you need to sign in to use a PDF????? Google drive can do exactly this but ten times better. DO NOT GET THIS EXTENSION!!! and it's kind of sketchy because it has full access to your google drive and classroom. DO NOT GET, AND WHY CAN YOU NOT DELETE IT!?!?!?!?!?!

works as intended BUT now each time you open a pdf, say from google classroom, you don't get to preview it. it just opens up. also YOU CANT UNDO MISTAKES WITH CTRL + Z. really annoying when i accidentally delete erase more than i intended while making diagrams. buggy and glitchy too, sometimes text boxes teleport. layout is clunky and not at all easy to operate EDIT: YOU CANT EXPORT ANNOTATIONS. OTHER PERSON CAN ONLY SEE IT IF THEY HAVE ORBITNOTE TOO. horrible, that's the entire reason people even download this.

This extension was making my eyes hurt. I still cannot figure out how this thing works. It slowed down my device whenever I opened it, endless amounts of crashing, and sometimes it just appears as a black screen when I launch the extension. The amount of time it takes to load is just painful.

Garbage won't read a PDF loaded in browser without their stupid app and signing in to google. Why is it so hard to let it just read a PDF in browser?

how is this supposed to be accessible?! This thing is awful. Takes ages to install, the instructions are confusing, and it doesn't work. Keeps sending me round in circles after following the lengthy instructions. I'm glad I haven't paid for this rubbish.

Completely replaced google docs on classroom one day, and I didn't even HAVE it. I can no longer work on my class work because all traces of being able to open something in docs has just been replaced with this thing that barely works, I can't even turn in my work with it.

We were required to use this tool for class; however it was incredibly complicated to even get it to work. Once in, I found the tools to be inconvenient with errors everywhere. I honestly found it easier to pull up Paint. Not recommended.

It wants to be able to download ALL my drive documents. That's a hard no from me buddy.

it doesn't work,considering my school FORCEFULLY installed it, and can't remove it. it interferes with Read Write. Considering in the past of me, i must say that PDF reader's are quite unsafe. it asked for these permissions: -Read and change all your data on the websites you visit -Communicate with cooperating websites -Know your email address -Manage your apps, extensions, and themes -Know your location But what i'm most concerned is why does a PDF reader need my location, and my email address. I cannot trust this, and it shouldn't need to do that much access. -Nathan Danopi

Okay first of all it won't work Second of all R&W, even after I uninstalled it, made it mandatory to install this PDF reader. Yeah remember Bonzi Buddy

I was excited to use this app and it will not work. When I follow the directions and try to open a pdf from Drive, it just keeps telling me to sign into my account. Will not open the book at all.
