- (2021-11-16) Exmi: I just love it. It's so nice to be able to check every day. And the diary is so nice. I got upset because I came out like a beggar in Time Labs, but that's my problem. lol Can we see the trend of quantified goals on a graph?
- (2021-03-04) Taste of Transcendence (Torsteindur): I consider myself an app connoisseur and this is the best app/extension I have come across...
- (2020-09-12) Daniela Giovanna: Nice to have this!
- (2020-07-26) Jed Butler: Fast, good-looking, easy to use Chrome extension that actually does exactly what I want. I love this product for the vision board feature--every time I open a new tab, instead of seeing the Google Logo I see my own personalized vision for what's next. Very helpful in focusing my energy. Couldn't recommend this extension enough!
- (2020-04-03) Luke Pinnegar: This is a great extension to the chrome browser. I have been on a big personal development mission since the beginning of the year and mainly use it just for the vision board feature which keeps me focused. Everytime I open up a new tab in the browser, all my collaged goals are there arranged how I want them. You can easily drag and drop the photos from your desktop and adjust the size to suit your needs. George is quick to reply to emails and is constantly looking to make it best possible app he can for everyone. A great find thanks mate!
- (2020-03-08) Lorie Therese Locara: I'm always a fan of New Tab plugins, but I got attracted to this nifty plugin in search of a Seinfeld Calendar extension I could use, since I wasn't such a fan of a popular website for that purpose. When I discovered Goal Board, Vision Board, GSD Board's other features, I found it super fun! I actually LOVE Benzene, but then my PC's storage is filling up, so I had to turn it off. But if there's an option to upload it to Google Drive in the future, I might be a fan of that! G is also super friendly and very responsive to email requests and questions about his plugin's features. I needed to find where Benzene's photos are stored, and helped me with it! :) I'm also taking a look into his other apps and plugins, and every one of them seem useful. :) I'm not just a fan of the plugin, I'm also a fan of the dev now! :)
- (2020-02-12) Denis L: Great extension! The perfect tool to keep important things & ideas close. Rising legend!
- (2020-02-07) Guido Dombrowski: I am a fat man... This extension really drove it home for me. Each time I open new tab, I see my #1 goal "eat less, exercise and get thinner." I am slowly losing my weight as a result. Thank you so much george!
- (2019-10-16) Sacha Wharton: George is a total legend! I installed the Goal Board aka the Squirrel Board extension but it through an error when I tried to save a url on it. I sent the error to George who fixed it in lightening speed. Thank you so much George and keep making these amazing extensions!!!
- (2019-06-08) Amy Dallas: Nice to look at and gets it done on the first go. High five.
- (2019-06-07) George Mike: I made this. I like it. Unbiased 5-stars.
- (2019-04-02) Uday Kolluri: This developer really listens to his customers and this extension has blossomed into one of favorite Chrome features. Every time you open a new tab, it shows you a scratch pad where you can write your to-dos, important reminders, etc. These notes sync across all your laptops/desktops/chromebooks (where every you have signed into Google Account on your Chrome browser and installed Goal Board). Recently he's added Benzene which takes a picture of you whenever you open a new tab (totally optional.. stays on 1 computer/device only and is disabled by default). Some cool montages of me looking lost and confused every time i open a new tab There's also a new sticker wall (which i call a "chore chart") so you can track progress of your daily habits. I love this cause i subscribe to Seinfeld's Dont Break The Chain method of habit building Cheers George Mike. Keep em coming
