Reviews & Comments of Reminders chrome extension

Love this extension. I use it daily mainly for timesheet reminder at work. It would be good to have a week day setting in the repeat options please

I use this app to help remind me of things I need to come back to later, and it really helps keep me on track!

Great app. For me, being able to open a new tab automatically on a schedule with a document I need to review (e.g. meeting notes) is extremely helpful. It gets a bit messy trying to configure it, the UI really needs a full-screen version. There's also no way to give alerts nicknames so if you have many alerts it gets very confusing very quickly. I'm also not 100% sure but I feel I have noticed occasional buggyness with when certain alerts fire or if they fire at all. Overall it's not too bad, but sometimes I have found alerts going off at odd times or having their schedule shifted or removed.

Its pretty much useless. You cannot even edit the reminder

it works the way you wanted, time saving and an example of true reminder

unable to edit the date or time of reminders, making it completely useless

This simply doesn't work. Uninstalled after a few hours. Tried to set reminders, but they didn't work as expected. When a reminder pops up and you click on any part of the reminder text it just disappears. Clickin on Done reschedules the task to +10 mins. Setting button does nothing - the task gets rescheduled to +10 mins. Also when creating a new reminder any click on other apps kills the reminder form - just click somewhere else and come back to your reminder and it will disappear. Good luck. Cheers

i love this extension it is the simplest one by far but the notifications do not work it says it will be displayed but no matter what options you select the notifications and tasks just go to the past folder with no visible notification even when chrome is open, is there a way to fix this the open a new webpage works perfectly but it not really suitable for every situation even if it just opened the extension to show you the notification that went off as it moves it to the past folder it would be perfect otherwise you have to manually check and see what notification just went off, kinda pointless.

It is a bit tricky when setting the date/time, you expect something more obvious

Notification only runs for a day and turn off. Need to manually turn on again the next day

it wont let me change the time

This has a minor issue. the daily task won't work and just goes to Past tab and you need to reset the time again

The best one out there, I'd say.

i love the open tab feature, but can you add the recurring time for the weekdays please?

Awesome! Works for me perfectly.

This app does what it says, only one extra request to developer is if to save current web page as reminder instead of copy and past the web link as a reminder. Thanks any way :)

I need a reminder to go off every weekday. I had a reminder set up with this app to go off every day, since it doesnt allow you to customize for which days of the week. The reminder just STOPPED after 5 days with no indication that was going to happen.

I can edit existing reminders, set up recurring reminders, choose notification, text or open a new tab. This is great for reminding myself to call someone or to do something. Super cool. Other reviews have less than 5 stars, I beg to differ.

It is a good extension. But i can't give it 5 star, as it didn't solved my problem ultimately. I wanted a simple software/extension just like this one. Just to remind me to do some work at a certain time. But i am on pc, in office. so no headphones and no speakers. So i need something to send notification and it works best. But this extension can't send web push notifications.... i need notifications even when my chrome is closed. Many other sites can send me advertisements and clothes offers even when chrome is closed. But this extension lacks that feature. Pls. update this feature if you can. Btw great extension for people like me who just want something simple and easy.

EVERY SINGLE THING IS NICE BUT,ONE THING IF IT IS THERE IT WILL BE THE BEST,PLEASE ADD EDIT REMINDER SOUND IF IT IS ALREADY THERE THEN PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN DO THAT!!!

Good so far, but notification reminders dates showing in the list are upside down. Earliest date reminder should (imo) be at the top rather than the bottom.

Bad.

Terrible.

It's a great app - HOWEVER, it should be more transparent in telling the user about its features. i.e. just add an instruction manual. There is one thing that I suggest tho. Some of my reminders are strictly weekday based, so please add a type for that. If that is complete, I'll change to 5 stars. For weekend reminders, just set two repeating weekly.

It is perfect and its super helpful!

Great custom reminders, but would love it even more if a popup notification appeared. Thank you for this awesome tool!

it doen't repeat a reminder

It was okay because it doesn't work alot though.

It didn't spring forward during daylight savings, and now I am late by 1 hour. Great.

I did a test reminder that worked just fine, but now I can't add anymore.

Reminders us simple and does the job. It does not intrude on my privacy and does not ask for private info. I like it!

nice. But how do you set it to PM or AM?

Does not work. The Design is simple and exactly what I wanted but non of the reminders I set up to daily triggered.

This was one of the best chrome extensions ever. Whenever I'm late to a meet the extension automatically opens the meet tab. If you have kids who mess around during online class I would recommend this a top notch remider. The best feature is that the reminder doesn't need a email to use it! Many kids don't pay attention on online learning so maybe this is a good way to make them go to class.

I hate it...... For custom period it only allows minuted not hours or days or weeks

Was great for a while until it stopped working.

Silently goes past the time & date, then sends notification 6 days after.. what???

It was fine but it has stopped working.

Good extension

There is a bug with repeat functionality. Once the computer is shot down and alarm is skipped it wont repeat.

This a helpful and a smooth app. Does what I expect. Two issues: 1) it took me at least 10 minutes to understand how to change a notification (correct answer: drag left) 2) I would like to have more color choices for color-coding reminders. Blue is my favourite but it's not there. But these are very minor things. Five stars.

Really great! Super easy to use.

Edit/Delete Function - Why is it so hard to figure out! Not intuitive at all. You must click on the alarm, hold down your mouse, and drag it to the left in order to find the edit/delete buttons.

great addon. solved all of my needs. 10/10 program.

Loved it

doesn't work...

OMG THIS IS THE BEST APP I'VE EVER GOT! IT HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED! so yu people out there who havent got it yet.....GET IT!

It seems very glitchy. I need one reminder on weekdays at 4:45 PM to open a webpage. This *can* do this but I had to set up 5 different reminders (one ea on mon, tue, wed, thur, fri) set 1 week apart, then for 'repeating' i did 104 for 2 years. But, this thing only works about 2 out of 5 days per week, other days it opens the tab 10x during the day at random times. It is glitchy and not reliable, so, i cannot use it. It's great software, but not being able to rely on it makes it unusable for me.

works well enough for what I need, LOVE the option to automatically open a tab, but editing and deleting reminders isn't intuitive at all - I discovered pretty much by accident that you have to click and drag from the side of the reminder to get the menu to appear. the extension could also be improved by letting you choose the date from a point-and-click calendar instead of having to type it in so you don't have to check a calendar to get the date for thursday if you just want a reminder on thursday also, the reason I'm even writing this review in the first place is because I noticed the time I set for my recurring reminder changed when daylight savings time started. I had the reminder set for 2:55 and it's been popping up at 2:55 for weeks, but when I clicked on the extension I noticed that the specified time had changed to 3:55. fortunately I didn't miss out on anything important due to this but I'm kind of baffled that it happened

I added this extension to open a set of pages everyday at a particular time. If my Chrome is closed at that particular time of the day, it wont work. It will be better if you could arrange the extension such that the pages will open in the very next session when i open the chrome. The tasks should not be omitted like what it do now.

Open the new tab with URL is a killer feature. Makes reminders that much more automated. Thanks for an awesome tool. Was a little confused trying to delete and edit reminders, but figured out you slide right to left like a mobile app on the desktop browser.

Nice clean UI, I wish it were possible to repeat notification fortnightly

The functionality is fine but the extension is very basic. This is evident from the lack of calenders in the notification section etc. Also, the gestures for edit/delete are very unintuitive as most poeple use this extension on their laptops and swiping with a mouse just doesnt make sense. Everything else works perfectly though.

Set up a yearly reminder, and it said that it was saved and would remind me. When the day came, nothing happened, and I ended up missing an important anniversary. It's getting tossed as soon as I finish damage control.

best

If i want to keep reminder tomorrow, The Reminder active symbol is showing from now itself. it shall be shown before 1 hour like that.

So far seems like a simple and decent reminder app. My biggest compliant is lack of obvious way to edit and delete reminders. Thanks to another's comment realize it can be done by dragging left, but honestly there needs to be a more intuitive way to do this. Also I would like to be able to set what sound it plays, or even no sound on a per reminder basis.

Simple, yet genius

It does the job - so, I like it. BUT it sucks when you want to edit your reminder. You have keep clicking it so the edit/delete buttons can appear... and they don't always appear. When they do randomly appear... because you are clicking, clicking clicking (trying to get it to appear), you sometimes click the delete button by mistake... Which deletes the reminder, and you have to do it all over again. Can you somehow make the edit/delete feature more responsive? Thank you.

useless for what I wanted to do. the interface is garbage forcing me experiment with every option to enable features, and having to scroll every time. in the end the reminders didnt work anyway.

Can't edit existing reminders. Needs more development.

This is a VERY basic app. which can be good and bad. I can't figure out how to use the text portion. It doesn't ask me what time to text or who or where to text?

1. Reminders when set to auto-dismiss never pop up in the first place 2. You can't read more than one line of your reminder at a time, even when in editing mode 3. It's not clear that you have to click-drag to see "Edit" and "Delete" buttons per reminder If 1 and 2 get addressed I'll immediately increase this to 4 stars (and 5 stars if all 3 get addressed).

it's very simple but very useful chrome plugin, i use it in day-today life to get reminded about the task to be completed..

Very primitive and clunky. Doesn't even display a date-picker calendar when creating/editing reminders to allow you to pick the day of the week for a reminder; for example, if you want to set the reminder to be on, say, a Saturday, you would need to look up a separate calendar to find out the date for that particular Saturday and then type in the date. Can't filter the list. The reminder window is too small and requires scrolling up/down while creating/editing a reminder (very irritating). It is so primitive that it's just not worth using.

There is no way to repeat just week days.

It works as intended.

This is fantastic. I was going to build something like this myself, but fortunately I checked the Chrome Web Store, and now this extension pretty much runs my life. (Seriously though, great extension, once you know how to use it) Thanks for building this! :D

I wanted a simple reminder at the same time every day. Unfortunately, this plugin does not repeat reminders even if setup to do so. When the reminder triggers for the first time, it doesn't trigger again.

Not reliable, sometimes the saved reminder shows, sometimes it don't.

I don't like that you can't open a reminder to edit or change it, or to view information within it until the day of the reminder. I'm looking for a reminder that has multiple reminder days and times. I'm one of them people that needs several reminders leading up to the appointment. at least 3 would be nice..

so helpful.

So I like this a lot -- simple, effective, etc. But, my usage of this is to have an hourly 'pop up', so I'm wondering about one thing that would make me love this far more: My tasks, even if I set them to 'never end', close whenever I put my laptop to sleep. I then have to set a new 'task' as a reminder. I'd love to not have to do that.

all of it is fantastic however I wish it had more sound options. It's almost the perfect alarm todo system. Almost.

simple and nice to use. would like it expanded a little more so i dont have to scroll. and would like a military time option instead of am/pm

Love this, 5 stars, so glad you can set what type of reminder, the time, date, year, and morning or night. Also how important it is. Great that it has a notification reminder. I love it!!!

This app will help me to finally do more productive things then sitting on my computer all day and playing games. Thanks

Really good extension. Is simple to set, works well, and have an elegant design. Good job!

There is too much scrolling when setting a notification reminder. The box should expand bigger so I can see more at once. I would also like a drop down ability for setting date/time as opposed to just having to type it in. Otherwise, pretty nice.

so far it does what I need... THANKS!! will add a review later

really wonderfull.

Are you kidding me? This app doesn't do anything. You can't set times for reminders.

It's okay but it would be better if you could edit the reminders. I made a mistake with one reminder, saved one as a PM reminder instead of a AM reminder, and I had to delete the reminder and create a new one.
