Audacity: The Online Audio Editor You Need

it crashed on me it wont even open anymore

it dont work and its laggy and i mean it very verey laggy it is so bad

This extension hijacked browser, jumping to the offidocs website automatically again and again

i used to at least be able to get this to run properlyish back in the day, it was complicated but i got it to work on my chromebook, and it did what audacity did even if it was super duper laggy and crashed often. now it just wont load after i install it

When trying to open Audacity after the long annoying wait it came up with an error message saying that Audacity couldn't find a safe place to store temporary files. Trying different locations (/tmp. ~ as it's running on a remote Linux server) didn't work. I did manage to get it to load once with Edge but it's such a hassle to transfer files between the remote session and my local PC (not to mention clicking out of the browser window would close the session) that I gave up. I've got an ad-blocker installed which removed the ads but I suspect it's probably riddled with ads, the extension asked to show popups for a website so I wouldn't be surprised if I'd allowed that there would be numerous popups appear. I certainly wouldn't trust something like this in a school setting which I was investigating the extension for. In the end I found a better browser based solution called Twistedwave (twistedwave.com/online) which worked much better.

very complicated to use, not recommend at all, time wasting...

The page is so covered in ads that you can barely even see the editor. Also wouldn't load any files from my computer. It can barely even play the demo audio that loads on startup without a bunch of skipping and glitching. This thing is a joke.

This isn't the actual program of audacity, it's just a picture of audacity with a bunch of ads running around it. it does not work in any way shape or form. this is the dumbest extension i've ever seen, i dont know how people can live with themselves, i guess people just dont care how they get money even if they have to rip people off to get it, pathetic.totally lame page , boo on you sir!! this shouldn't be allowed on here, you're a discredit to all who try to produce extensions, really really tacky!!

The description seemed just what I was looking for so I installed it. I open it and the left pane looks like a document editor not an audio editor. When I try to open a file, it seems to be looking at Linux files, not my Chromebook files. What a complete disappointment!

Completely useless. The screen is so minimized you can't even see the track well enough to edit. It's like trying to run an antiquated DOS program on your cell phone, actually that might work better.

Wow, it's true, this is useless. I got it to "run" and play the sample sound file. I could tolerate the GUI embedded in the Linux emulator. However, it in not way will recognize a Recording, or input device. I didn't check about existing files. However, Recording, is the ONLY reason I had this Chromebook and for Audacity since used it for years quite successfully with hundreds of songs published all over. I read the app control about USB devices and this newly released Chrombook has three and one of each "type" - it recognized none. How? does one use a DAW? a USB port. The "mic" on the Chromebook? Even that didn't work. So? - Don't off useless apps Chrome Web Store or make them fix them? OMG!

Absolute garbage. It may as well not exist.It can't record, it won't play audio, it won't do anything. Google Web store may as well take it off of its platform because this is a waste of a download.

JFC, from the other reviews I can already tell this works like eating soup by stabbing the broth (i.e. it doesn't). I'm calling it now that everyone who rated it more than 3 stars is either a bot or artificially raising the review rating. These idiots plastered ads everywhere, pretty much making the thing worthless. From other reviews I can tell they used the oldest version of Audacity to copypaste ads all over considering how others say this is impossible to import files into. Deleting this extension permanently, the creator site also asks for notification permission which I'm betting is just to plaster even more garbage ads all over your browser. Christ, this sucks.
