Add To Calendar

Easy win. Functioned as intended, developer is checking reviews consistently, cost was $5.99 USD for seemingly a lifetime subscription (not 100% clear). Glad to throw a couple bucks at something that lets me skip 10sec of data entry for forever now. My only request would be a checkmark on the extension that let me skip reviewing the info on the page itself - Google Calendar already previews and requests an "OK" before finalizing an event addition, so I'd love to skip that on the extension/ori...

Thank you for the review and the feature request!

This is looking terribly shady. As soon as installed I see a "trial expired" sign, and the extension is completely unusable.

I'm sorry about the problem you are having. I'm not sure why it said "trial expired" unless you tried the extension in the past and it has been past 30 days. But even when the free trial expires it should still allow you to use basic functionality. It should still be able to scan the website you are on for an event. Can you let me know what website you are trying to use it on? If it isn't working at all then there might be some corruption or a conflict with another extension. If there is data corruption in Chrome then sometimes restarting the computer fixes the issue. Other times removing the extension and then restarting the computer and then adding it again helps. If it is a conflict with another extension then you can go to chrome://extensions/ and try disabling other extensions and then restart the computer. Then try again. Let me know if any of those suggestions help or not.

Not as useful as I'd hoped. Works decently but doesnt recognize dates I've set in ServiceNow. Not a big deal because you can just highlight the date and it will select that. NOTE: The highlight date thing is for premium only and I will no longer be able to use that feature after 30 days (trial period). So, without the highlighting I would give it maybe 2 stars. Also noticed an odd behavior. When I click the download iCal option it downloads the event.ics file 3 times. I've diff'd the files a... Show more

Thank you for the feedback! There has been a standard schema markup for events for quite a while now. If the website author doesn't use the standard markup then it can be very difficult for the extension to find the correct dates, especially if there are a lot of numbers on the website. There have been regular updates to try and match more event information correctly, but it can be impossible to match if the web author doesn't format it nicely. I'm sorry about the issue you are having of it downloading the iCal file multiple times. Hopefully there will be an update to fix that issue soon! UPDATE: The bug of it downloading the iCal file multiple times has been fixed!

Broken Adds an extra "undefined" to the event name and does not define dates and other service information

I'm sorry it isn't working well for you. I haven't heard of an extra "undefined" added to the event name from other users nor have I seen it myself. I'm not sure where you are using the extension but there has been standard event markup for the web for a number of years now. If the website creator didn't use standard event markup then the Add To Calendar extension has to try to guess where the event dates and times for one event begins and ends. If the website creator puts too many arbitrary dates and times in the description then it can be difficult for the extension to guess. In that case, what has helped some users is to highlight all the information for just one event, then click on the 📅 "Add to Calendar" button in the toolbar.

This Extension is a life safer, amazing developer will like to speak with you.

I was looking for a plugin to add events from a website that doesn't have an "add to GCAL" option and this worked PERFECTLY! I'm so happy I found this app.

Thank you for the review! I'm glad that you found it also!

THe best i have tried among 6 tested. Would it be possible to give choices when editing the event. for my example, it detected (time, title) but did detected the wrong starting time and end time. If it could 1) try to guess 2) give us 3-4 suggestions between the different time detected 3) or let us edit manually (copy paste) if the choice is not present. Example tested : Trajet aller Paris Gare de Lyon Marseille Saint-Charles Samedi 9 Septembre 2023 45€ Ouverture de l’embarquement 40m... Show more

Good news! With the latest update (Version 1.0.2) you can now paste in the time and date fields.

you should mention the calendar formats supported like ical, ics, etc. that people would better find you :)

Jeff BakerDeveloperJun 8, 2023

Thank you for the review and the suggestion!

Amazing! But is there any way to have a version for google tasks?

Does not accurately identify titles for dates, nor does it work if theres multiple events

Jeff BakerDeveloperJan 17, 2023

Thanks for the review. I'm sorry it didn't work well for your situation. It can depend on how the author of the website or email forms the event data. There are standard ways to markup event data such as ld+JSON, Microdata. If the author didn't use a standard then the extension has to try and determine when event data begins and ends for each event. That can be impossible depending on how the author formatted the data when there are multiple events. If that is the case then you can usually obtain the correct information for one event at a time by highlighting all the information for one event before clicking the "Add to Calendar" button.
