Reviews & Comments of Just Not Sorry -- the Chrome extension chrome extension

Amazed at this concept - but would love if it worked on text fields outside of Gmail, in the same way as Grammarly does. Imposter syndrome exists out side of gmail too! ;) Does this make sense?

Love the idea, but cannot get it to work. I have Gmail...I have the extension installed and all settings are turned on. I don't understand why it's not working.

This extension is excellent. I haven't had any trouble with Gmail speed while using it.

I used to love this, but over the last few weeks Gmail had been slowing to a crawl, only in Chrome, so I'd been using other broswers for Gmail - and was considering switching off Chrome altogether. Started turning extensions off and on, and discovered Just Not Sorry was the culprit :( If your Gmail is running INSANELY slowly to the point of not working, trying turning this extension off. A shame!

It works, but it isn't nearly as intuitive as plugins like Grammarly. It only picks up on certain words and ignores the context. For example, it always underlines the word SORRY, whether you're starting a sentence with Sorry or if you're sorry someone's grandma died. Don't get it.

The extension was great when it worked. Unfortunately, it silently stopped working a few months back. I'm running Chrome Version 63.0.3239.84 (64-bit) on Mac OSX Yosemite. I'm using normal Gmail, not Inbox. It would be excellent to see it functioning again!

LOVE this idea. Great for my "too many exclamation pts" emails. Go Tami!

Don't forget to restart chrome before checking whether it works :)

Doesn't work.

I love this and recommend it to friends often. I wish this worked on slack too.

Doesn't work in inbox

It doesn't work. I installed it in Chrome and went to my gmail, composed a message with the words but it didn't highlight them

doesn't work :(

I like it for gmail but I wish it worked for inbox.

Doesn't work in Inbox

Not really useful. It only works when the exact words are used.

doesnt work

Would be cool if it worked in Inbox, but I usually compose emails in Gmail. The bigger problem is that it only works on my computer and not my phone. Regardless, it's a fantastic extension!

unfortunately does not seem to work with inbox....

this sounds great but it the icon will only appear for a moment after it's been added to chrome. It shows up in the extensions list as active but I can't get it to function. Great idea but it just isn't cutting it. Please work on this so I can use it!

Incredibly useful in empowering my language.

What a great idea! I'm a little reprehensive about the security/privacy issues, though.

I like the idea. In addition to the suggestion of offering alternate wording, I also encourage a rethinking of the logo. When the favicon appears in the address bar and users see a red circle with a diagonal line through it, the initial reaction (as mine was) might be that it is a warning or a symbol for an untrustworthy site. Good luck with helping more people shed their apologetic tone!

*** USE WITH CAUTION *** It's not bad in concept. However, it has a very serious security/privacy bug: Under certain common circumstances, this extension *WILL* include the warnings in email messages when they are sent. The warnings may or may not include the underlines, but the text of them are there. That means the person receiving the email may know the sender was using Just Not Sorry and can see the warnings that were shown to the sender. This could be an embarrassing situation for the sender. My rating of this extension is because of this bug. I would give it a better rating if the bug were fixed. It has a few moderate problems as well: First, this is not a Gmail plug-in. It's a Google Chrome extension. That said, it only works with Google Mail, which is stated in a pop-up dialog box when the extension is installed. It does NOT work with other email websites. Second, the underlining is the same color and nearly the same style as Google Mail's spelling checker underlining. The screenshots here show a yellow or orange color, but that's not the case. It would be better if it were orange. Better still would be to let the user select the color and style themselves. Third, the extension only recognizes about eight English phrases. They may be the most frequently used ones, though. Only that language is supported and there's no option to let the user edit the list of phrases. Fourth, the messages that appear when the mouse pointer hovers over an underlined phrase are too wordy and do not include recommendations for correcting the problem. This extension needs to use an interface similar to the spelling checker contextual menu. Shorter messages (the author attributions are unnecessary) would be better, with links to more informative ones, if the user wants to see them.

People - men and women - should apologise more often. They should be willing to admit they are not experts. They should also say 'please' and 'thank you' and 'if you don't mind'. It's not 'undermining your message' or 'not being assertive'. It's being nice, and honest, and friendly, and tactful, and considerate, and human. This app is a bad idea.

I like the idea. Need to add many more phrases. When is your next update on words and phrases? Please add the following: I'm not an expert I didn't get a chance to.... I'm not very good at.... I'm not good at... I need help doing .... could you please ..... will you..... I couldn't I didn't I am unable.... I won't I won't I haven't I can't Also a true bug: the highlighting disappears when I paste (chrome/gmail). Thanks for the idea, and hope to see updates on the phrases soon!

I'm sorry, I'm no expert, but I think telling me I'm wrong but not providing some guidance is actually just wrong. Does that make sense? If not, I apologize.

These are the only keywords it understands as of this release: "just" "actually" "sorry" "apologize" "I think" "I'm no expert" "does that make sense"

My high school english teacher would be so proud!

I'm no expert, but this just might possibly be an exceptional app.

Great tool. So far, so good. I'm not just saying that either, sorry!

This is a great tool, I look forward to more authoritative and decisive sounding emails!

I struggle with using these types of words in my work emails. I started using this today and I love it. It is going to help me be more aware and change what I say. Thanks!
