- (2020-01-20) Kathi Allen: i hated it bc i didn't let me put down more than 1 special occasions.
- (2020-01-13) TheReachIsReal: for basic simple functions of an online calendar you have to "Contribute" i'd be happy to if it was something that required more effort. Don't even bother downloading and wasting your time with this app (it's just a money grabber)
- (2020-01-12) Neural Net: Love the community
- (2020-01-08) Krishna R: The new permissions require that the extension has full access to your browsing history. Not cool. And there is no explanation given that can be easily found on the dev website as to why they require full access to your browsing history and how will they ensure they don't maliciously use it or sell it.
- (2020-01-08) Clint Mullins: It has recently become really slow (I've been using this for years). Both the calendar view and the notifications that pop up take a lot of time to load (think 30+ seconds). What's annoying about this is if I don't dismiss the notifications they come back again, loading super slow so I can't dismiss them again. Just a blank window blocking whatever I'm doing. So I drag it out of the way and continue with my work. At least I know when I need to check my calendar. The syncing issue is unfortunate too. When the slowness is addressed I'll change this review to 5 stars. Right now I really only use this extension to see, at a glance, when my next meeting is. Everything is is slow enough that it's faster to just load a tab of google calendar.
- (2019-12-20) Steve Tobin: Jason, this is something I've been looking for to make my Calendar work right for me, Thank You for all your well thought out options!!! Everyone try this extension, you won't be sorry!!!
- (2019-12-20) Joe Julian: Excellent. I have ADHD which makes it very difficult for me to come back to things, or just keep information in my head in general. I mark everything down on my calendar as much as I can, and being able to put stuff down in any tab and get notifications that actually work is invaluable. This should come standard with any company using Gsuite. Beautiful.
- (2019-12-19) Vikram Aravamudhan: This is one of the most useful chrome extensions. But, what happened to it for the past few days? It's very sluggish, expands to double its usual width and then re-aligns itself. But takes 10-15 seconds to render the agenda.
- (2019-12-10) Andreas Horlacher: Use this everyday and it works well for reminders that pop-up on the screen. As a dev myself, I can see this is a well-designed little tool. Thanks for making lives a bit simpler.
- (2019-11-28) Eric Carbonel: J'adore les fonctionnalités de cette application, mais elle génère un fort (et incompréhensible) ralentissement sur mon Mac. Je l'ai désinstallé pendant quelques mois à cause de cela, et je l'ai réinstallé récemment en me disant qu'il s'agissait d'une coincidence, mais malheureusement les ralentissements sont revenus aussitôt :-(
- (2019-11-27) Lucas LL: You can see a * to add an event at the right but it launch you to the top to write adn then you cannot swap accounts. Before it was better
- (2019-11-15) Дарья Жукова: Здравствуйте. Отличное приложение, очень нравится, удобно использовать. Заплатила что б открыть все функции. Но вчера оно пропало у меня из Хрома. Как мне его вернуть? Hello. Great application, i really like it, convenient to use. I paid to open all the functions. But yesterday it disappeared from Chrome. How can I get it back?
- (2019-11-13) Veronika Vartanova: Just what I needed! Thank you forever for this! Makes maintaining plans and logs between Google Calendar and Evernote seem a breeze
- (2019-10-29) GaMeR IrAn: عالی
- (2019-10-29) minh dat: Very close to perfect. Can i choose date-month format (ex: dd/mm or mm/dd). If adding 30/10, the result is always right, but if it is 8/10, the app will confuse October 8 and August 10
- (2019-10-26) Gary Lee Cooksey: IT DOES IT ALL I GOT 2 OF THE APPS THEY NEVER LET ME DOWN
- (2019-10-24) RuthJourney93: Hi, I looked around for a few extensions that would give me access to my google calendar and all of them seemed pretty wonkey acting and disorganized to say the least. But this one right here has been the safest and easy to access google calendar yet. I also decided to make a reminder from this extension and instantly after saving it, it appears on my phone with no hassle.
- (2019-10-18) Sonal Savaratkar: Really great, this is what I was looking for so long. In the end, I was going to make this extension myself. But you saved a lot of hard work for me. Thanks a ton!!!
- (2019-10-12) Samir Tilazadə: Liked it, and donated. Nice, useful extension, but the icon showing current date on toolbar would be better, than now...
- (2019-10-12) Hussain Abbas: Very Useful I like it, Though There is no program of google calendar on windows.
- (2019-10-08) k mi: It's very useful! But can't use with COOLNOVO, and old chrome, ex. ver.12.xxx.
- (2019-10-04) Frans Nijs: sinds kort geeft ie bij elke opstart een melding: Nieuwe achtergrondapp toegevoegd! Zeer vervelend!!!!
- (2019-09-30) anand sutar: Earlier whenever I just keep my cursor on button of Checkerplus, it will show me the today's list, now with new update unable to use that feature. Every time I have to click it and it will open all big window which is very annoying. Earlier feature is good compare to this. So now I am uninstalling.
- (2019-09-23) Andrey Ka: Спасибо! То, что нужно. Удобно просматривать события, а главное удобно добавлять в календарь информацию с сайта. Сразу копируется URL и название страницы. Сделано для людей, спасибо!
- (2019-09-15) alison totten: Now has access to your browsing history!! Great app and very useful but now with added intrusion into your data and private life. Use with caution

I have a situation where my voice notifications though cleared get reactivated and repeated. Going back weeks. This is highly irritating and started when 1. I upgraded to windows 8 (Same behavior under 8.1) 2. Chrome took over notifications which were through the extension. I'm running the latest stable chrome on a quad core laptop (HP) - (2013-10-25, v:13.9) Connor Smith: File not listed in manifest
Not a big thing, I just noticed this randomly and thought I'd let you know. As far as I know its not breaking anything, but it is a valid error http://screencloud.net/v/vyvt - (2013-10-24, v:13.8.11) Aaron Klassen: Remove colon from 24-hr clock
The time of event doesn't quite fit onto the button and since I don't use a colon when I type the time in a 24-hour clock anyway, perhaps you could remove it so the time would fit? - (2013-10-23, v:13.8.11) Sean Chang: selected text as event title
Previously, by selecting texts and right-clicking to add calendar event, the selected texts is the default event title. This function seems to be disabled recently. Why? - (2013-10-23, v:13.8.11) Tim Carrignan: corrupt Chrome

I have a google account and a google apps account & I use the calendar from my google account. The extension tries to log in to the account that i last logged in on my browser. I want it to only check my google account and not the apps account. I have given access only for my google account but still it tries to log in my apps account. Please fix this.. - (2013-10-21, v:13.8.11) Stane Štrukelj: dates in new look
In the new view, the days of the dates change example: 10/29/2013 In older view is Tuesday (ok), but when you change to the new look becomes the same day (10/29/2013) Monday what is wrong ?????????
