New add-ons available in March 2018

Post date: Apr 09, 2018 4:31:43 PM

With the end of the first quarter of 2018, let’s take a look at some successful launches:

Insert icons for Slides, released in January, is scoring great installs (29K), followed by Paletti (17K installs) with its smart layout tool for Slides that was launched at the very end of 2017. As the add-on store for Google Slides is still pretty new, there are not a lot of add-ons available (26 at the end of Match) and new add-ons automatically get a good visibility.

2 Google Docs add-ons also performed quite well with more than 5K installs in their first months of life: Easy Clip Art and Unickeck, a plagiarism check tool.

In the beginning of 2018, we have also watched cryptocurrencies themed add-ons becoming more and more popular. The incredible install boost of Cryptofinance this year (+50K in 3 months) and the release this month of Track My Crypto and LocalFinance (both add-ons about cryptocurrencies market values) confirm this growing trend.

In March, a total of 35 add-ons were released and we highlighted 4 of them based on how easy and smart they are!

This article is part of a monthly series presenting new add-ons available to Google Docs users. Check out our previous article from February 2018. If you are interested, you can subscribe to our monthly newsletter.

4 useful add-ons launched last month

SEMrush SEO Writing Assistant

Content marketing is a great way to reach your target and improve your SEO strategy. SEMrush, an SEO expert, has released an add-on that will help you create the right content for better SEO performances. This tool checks your text for relevant keywords and add some recommendations. The only drawback is that you can only create one template with the free account.

Other Etc

Other Etc is such a cool and useful add-on that we wonder why it is not a build-in feature in Google Forms! When respondents enter a response in the ‘Other’ field, Other Etc automatically updates your form in adding the response as an additional answer. A simple and efficient solution for getting feedback or improving workflow automation!

Sheets2GCal

If you need a way to add events to your Google Calendar in bulk, the following tool is made for you! Sheets2GCal transfers all events from a spreadsheet to your Google Calendar in one click. Easy to setup, you need to enter basic event details (title, start, end) to begin. But you can also add guests and sent invitations without leaving Google Sheets! In order to help you fill in your spreadsheet, you’ll find a template here.

Doc Variables

Prepare to save a lot of time with Doc Variables! Instead of personalizing or updating a presentation slide by slide, replace all data at once using this add-on. Indicate data to replace by inserting markers in your document. Every marker is identified as a variable you’ll find in a sidebar. You can then replace the text in the sidebar and your document will be updated with the right information. And the icing on the cake is that you can choose whether to generate a new document or replace data in an existing one!
