As others have stated the refresh interval is often too slow and they need to update the LOGO

The firefox add on called Prolific Sound Notification is much better.

The Prolific assist extension is not competent with the studies made available on my dashboard, which then makes it extremely hard to find studies with any places remaining. Highly unimpressed.

I would like to be able to pause the notifications. When working or presenting or having team meetings online, it's very distracting. Having the possibility to pause for 30min, an hour 3 hours, in a few clicks would be great.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Many times surveys will be full when I get notified.

It does give me notifications but they interrupt what I'm doing and distract me; one came through while I was doing a study and I had to mute my speaker volume so I wouldn't hear any more. That means of course that I have to remember to unmute when I'm between studies if I want to hear any notifications. But there doesn't seem to be much point in that because it's finding studies I can't do, for example ones that are restricted to mobile. I have restrictions set on the main page so I won't see those but the extension is apparently not using them. If the extension had settings I could change to match the restrictions that would help but it doesn't; all I can change are the notification type and its volume. I can't even tell it how often to check (and I have no idea how often it *is* checking). This extension was suggested to me by someone at Prolific as an alternative to just keeping a tab open, because of a glitch on the main page that's showing a number on the tab when there are really no studies available. I think I'm better off putting up with that than an extension that's misleading and that I have to mute sometimes so it won't distract me. I'll be removing it as soon as I finish with this review.

Rarely actually makes the trigger noise. I find more studies by clicking on the prolific tab than I get from waiting for the notifications. And when it does notify it's always too late, usually only a handful of places left and those are shown as taken as soon as I try to join. In other words, it's useless, and very annoying.

Does not sound a notification most of the time. If it does its too late by then as one place has been taken or its already gone before you even click it. This needs to be fixed its just so so poor.

It's far too slow with its notifications; almost all are already full.
