Reviews & Comments of Gmail - Reply at the TOP chrome extension

This does not work. It semi-worked for about a week or so, although the reply box WAS at the top of the email, you still had to scroll to get to it, which is pointless. Now it doesn't even do that, as the reply is at the bottom. Would be nice if this could get fixed.

Clicking reply causes the screen to jump to the bottom of the top reply and forces you to scroll back up to type your message.

Hello, this isn't working. I would love it if it worked because I'm so used to Outlook but my company is using Google tools more and more so I have to move to gmail. Can you please fix it or give better instructions on how to make it work?

Would be great, if it worked. Worked for a while a year or two ago. Then started randomly not working. Now, it causes the entire email body to appear BLANK for various emails that have rich text, embedded images or formatting (such as "A document has been shared with you" or "Share request for [filename]" emails directly from Google)! Basically, makes email behave erratically and not display properly. I really hate gmail's stupid reply at the bottom or conversation-view nonsense and wish this extension would be fixed so it actually works!!!

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. IT says its fixed but then it breaks again. When it works, it works well, unfortunately I need it to work all the time. Please fix this once and for all!

It stopped working, please fix it! This we an amazing extension when it worked, I cannot believe this isn't a standard option/setting with gmail.

it broke, babe

Doesn't work!

Doesn't work.

Does not work. Absolutely nothing changes.

Was working brilliantly with no issues now it doesn't work unless you click the app and reload the page every single time you go into gmail and even then it doesn't seem to work for every email... Very frustrating as who want to keep reloading the page to use an app... Cannot find a fix either... EDIT: This has now stopped working altogether!

The extension works great! Now I can reply at the top of the email thread. Thank you.

I want to love this extension, because it works great when you have the reading pane option set to "no split". I need to have the reading pane open, however, and this extension doesn't work at all if you have the reading pane enabled. Please allow this to be used while the reading pane is enabled!

Great idea (infuriating that Google Mail requires this) but it doesnt work unfortunately.

Only works with No Split. Does not work with Right of Inbox or Below Inbox.

Holy Cow - thank you! This was the most frustrating thing about Gmail. Thank you so much!

well done thanks a lot

This worked fine when first installed but then reverted back to the bottom of the email.

OMG this has been driving me insane! Thankyou for this awesome extension which works perfectly on Mac desktop!

When I first installed it worked to bring replies to top of email. For some reason I can not keep this extension working. the reply box will open in various places within the email making it very difficult to find. I usually close the reply and start again in order to try to find where the reply box opened within the chain. Very frustrating.

Doesn't work... still scrolling for days..

This is a great function. Please can the develop update to use split pane view?

I have to uninstall and reinstall this every single day now to make it work. Completely useless for me at this point.

This no longer works since latest GMail update. however another extension called 'Gmail reverse conversation' works - hooray! - install it and refresh Gmail.

Doesn't work.

Works as described - but only if you deactivate split / reading pane. In split mode (left list of mails right email/response) the extension does not work.

So happy I found this! Having to scroll to the bottom of a long thread just to hit the reply button is a huge pain.

I like it when it works. I just got a new computer so I needed to reset a few things and re-download this add on. It worked at first but now it isn't! This is frustrating!!

PERFECT!!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Love it. Helps enormously. Why isn't this something that gmail has an option for? Ridiculous!

Does not work. Useless.

It works at times.... but doesn't work if you exit while writing, which automatically saves as a draft, and then you return to the draft. Has anyone had success with resuming this function after saving as a draft? Using latest update April 2020.

THANK YOU....THANK YOU....THANK YOU. My company moved to gmail without notice - about 1 year ago. I LOATHE Gmail. Gmail is not intuitive and the reply box at the bottom of the chain has been the absolute most infuriating "feature" - and now ability to change/move it. Gmails UX absolutely sucks - they went and took 20+ years of client UX and turned it on its head, packed too much into too small a space. But for someone unknown reason, some dumbass marketing guy thought it would be better than Outlook and now and entire company of people continue to hate and be frustrated by Gmail. I wish I would have found this extension sooner, its the ONLY thing that is going to make Gmail tolerable for me.

Google should include this extension on Gmail labs

Love this extension - but it seems to have stopped working at the moment…

Didn't work regardless of preview pane setting.

Could you have it move the Compose box too, thanks!

it works well for people that don't use split view. which, unfortunately, is me

Google proves again how stupid they and indeed all the biggies can be in basic facets of their products that make the user experience pleasant . I have avoided GMail like the plague because I cant stand the way it works (nor the data mining) but now that I have to use GMail this product is a godsend to alleviate repetitive mind numbing wasting of time and effort. Thanks!

Amazing! Works perfectly fine if you Enable Preview Pane in Advanced settings. Also this is a Chrome extension so you'll have to install it where ever you open your gmail. Not rocket science.

Love this!!! So tired of scrolling down a message trying to find a reply box. Now, i just click the reply, reply all or forward always available at top of message. THANK YOU!!!

works perfect and you are a genius!! Dont know why google design reply box at the bottom. Stupid design!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great addition, but it needs to be changed so it works with split view / preview pane. Get that sorted and I'll up my review to 5*

Does not work for me using Gmail and Chrome browser. Reply is still at the bottom.

This really takes the head pain re in gmail!

Where's the zero stars option. Didn't work. Read that it only works in 'no split' mode (like, who uses that??) and so I thought, well, it'll be worth it to bring gmail up to the 21st century. But alas, even that didn't work.

Oh my god, this is a real sanity-saver. Thank you so much!!

Worked like a charm on Google Chrome on a Windows 10 desktop. It's only after installing the extension that I realized its necessity and value. Thank you, Dheeraj.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! How is this not default? What idiot at Google thought people would prefer to not read what they are replying to? To constantly think they are replying to the wrong e-mail? I honestly can't think of one benefit. Oh you want to reply to that email? Let me just put this tiny box in the middle of a giant thread so it looks like you are just typing in the middle of nothing, and will constantly scroll and question yourself.

Simply.....Awesome! Genius. You are clearly not paid your worth. Thanx! 8^)

It is not properly working with Chrome Version 75.0.3770.100.

All I can say is Thank you....Thank you...Thank you

Great function, however as already mentioned, does not work when using preview pane option. Please ensure this is functional when using preview panes please, then it would be an awesome extension.

Perfect! Have been using it for month or so, no issues found. Not only it moves reply on the top, it also changes the order in which emails are displayed in conversation view. The most recent - on the top, the least recent - at the bottom. Well done!

Exactly what I needed in order to reply to emails based on the content of previous emails.

Doesn't work if you have the Preview Pane with either vertical or horizontal split :(

Works for reply but doesn't seem to for Reply All

Doesn't work....

I had a surprise when I seen there was an extension to this - such an annoyance !!! Thanks Dheeraj - worked first time.

it does work but would like it if it did work in split view

OMG.... HUGE help. SO tired of scrolling. If you are used to outlook or any other regular email this is a MUST. Btw, with the new release of gmail, there is a slight modification that is required to make it work. Credit to Minna Macleod (in the reviews), follow the directions below to make it work. This feature worked after enabling 'Preview Pane' in 'Advanced' settings. (Settings > Advanced > Preview Pane > Enable) Update: Only works if 'Preview Pane' toggle mode is set to 'No Split'. Does not work in Preview Pane > Vertical Split and Preview Pane > Horizontal Split.

doesn't work. i read all the comments here, enabled preview pane, no go. Fri Oct 5th 2018.

Fixed the worst of the Gmail interface problems. Perfect!

This feature worked after enabling 'Preview Pane' in 'Advanced' settings. (Settings > Advanced > Preview Pane > Enable) Update: Only works if 'Preview Pane' toggle mode is set to 'No Split'. Does not work in Preview Pane > Vertical Split and Preview Pane > Horizontal Split.

Does not work.Replies are still at the bottom, Frustrating..

Doesn't work (jul 18)

I was very excited to try this extension but it seems to not work with the new Gmail interface (according to other reviews and my own experience). Please update the extension so that it'll work with all Gmail interfaces!

My replies remain at the bottom.

Why gmail does not do this as standard is crazy but this little add in does the trick nicely so i can now reference what i am replying to. Thanks

At last. Why Google itself does not have it as a standard option is beyond me. Judging from other comments there are many users who would like the feature.

Worked for about a day and then disappeared. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still didnt get it to work. I wonder if it only works with certain versions of Chrome. UPDATE: I have drastically changed my rating from hate it to liked it. This feature only works if you have Preview Pane enables from within the email settings(Settings > Labs > Preview Pane) As a result, the reply has been at the top EVERY time.

Worked once upon installation, hasn't worked since. Which is a shame, because it's a feature I'd really like.

This has been a time saver for me. Having the Reply box at the bottom of a long email chain can be a major pain. Thank you!

not working with Chrome 63.0.3239.132

Works as described. Thanks very much Dheeraj.

Undoubtedly, I find this tool invaluable and love using it, but why does it need our permission to READ BROWSING HISTORY?? This is a free tool so is this the price we have to cope with?

As Google moves to a more 'Apple' based mentality of 'this is how we want you do things, f*** you', Chrome becomes more cumbersome due to workflow limitations as a result of that paradigm. This... THIS!!! This extension is exactly what I wanted out of Gmail, but didn't have the option until now.... Kudos.

This is a HUGE help. Google has been totally unresponsive to ongoing complaints about having to re-read all the existing emails before landing at the bottom for a reply. Google should have addressed this long ago. Unfortunately, I also like using the Preview Pane extension and this does not work in conjunction with that one. I understand . . . different developers. Both should be a native part of the Gmail app but until then we need to patch it together. NICE JOB!

I rarely ever leave reviews for chrome extension, but this makes my gmail much easier to work with. I do not know why Google can't do this as default. Thank you so much.

Excellent!!!! I searched everywhere for a solution to this!

THANK YOU!!! A simple fix that does the one thing I need it to do! Well done!!!

Great job. It's sad that Google is so great at so many things, and failed miserably in their Gmail reply UX. Thanks for fixing it

I can finally use my Gmail again in Gmail! Awesome work!
