Reviews & Comments of I-Know chrome extension

This has been so helpful these last few years! Amazing extension, thanks! I have been able to keep track of all my assignments through this.

would be 5 stars if it worked on chrome based browsers on linux but only a little black box pops up on manjaro. it works great on my windows desktop but on my linux laptop it doesn't work.

Previously my review would have been five stars, but just recently it has stopped working. I'll click on it and it will say "Installing - I-know is setting up" then after a couple of seconds it will say "Set up a connection: Open your school's learning system and open I-Know." My school runs on canvas, the same thing I have used for years. It worked perfectly in the spring. Now, it is nonfunctional. The semester starts this week and I don't know how I will survive without it functioning. I tried reaching out to the creator through synov.net with no reply for over a week. I will update my review when this is resolved. I really did love this extension when it worked! I have used it since my second or third semesters of my college career circa 2016 or 2017. Now I am in grad school and I still rely on it. I believe I even paid for premium? Unsure it has been so long.

It won't load my assignments and keeps saying that I need to open my school's learning system and open I-Know. I've done this and have refreshed the page, removed and re-added I-Know but it still doesn't work.

Thanks for updating the extension without asking us what we wanted and releasing it before it was ready. Lost all my assignments, I want my money back. BOO

BRING BACK THE ADD BUTTON I-Know has become an essential part of my day. I use it for everything. With the new update, the option to add an event has been removed for some reason. BRING IT BACK Also, the new update opens to tomorrow's items, not today.

Commenting on a new update (May 3 2021). Weird things started happening last night (assuming you were implementing on dev). - lost counter on the extension icon - clicking on it brought me an I-Know unlinked from the Canvas - tried to link - failed - today had to remove the extension and re-install it again (this made it work and showed new UI) Even though I like the idea of minimalism and simplifying the UI there are few things to consider: - You show the number of assignments due by displaying blue dots. They are too small (hard to see). - I am taking some heavy classes and I got 20+ assignments due Saturday. How are you going to show that number? It was super convenient to have a number representation of the number of assignments. This way I could plan ahead more efficiently if I can see that I have a heavy day. - It is Monday today, but the I-Know calendar doesn't show my anything for Satuurday. I would be nice to see assignment load for the entire week (again, if I have total 5 assignments due from Monday through Wednesday and 20 due Saturday it would be nice to know that in advance and start working on them early). Edit: Thank you for bringing the stress level feature back. It's amazing now.

I love this extension, it's so helpful! Although, it updated and now it won't even let me access it.

I absolutely loved this app, but the recent update that was sent out wrecked the extension. There is no number any more on the calendar that shows me how many assignments I have on that day so I can look into the future and see. Also, the days on the calendar don't match the day the assignment is due. And now it won't even connect to my school's organization. Please pull this update and go back to the old one until you get these things fixed. having the calendar lined up with the actual due date is pretty important. I have loved using this application and I want to keep using it but these bugs make it so I can't use the application

I appreciate the extension very much but for about 2 months now I've reached out a few times for assistance with extension problems. If you even look in reviews a moderator says message through the app and they will replace faster (which it's been over a month and I haven't received a reply. ------- The Issue: I load up the extension on my Canvas and it says, "Oops, please login and try again." I do this maybe 2 times a day for 20 minutes logging out of canvas and back in. Same issue, uninstall extension and does the same thing. I've tried a few things in the settings of extension and just frustrated of the extension at this point.

Very heavy. It takes a long time to load. It's faster for me to check assignments manually in canvas. Also, it is very annoying that I have to manually check completed assignments. The good thing is the push notifications, but because you have to check your completed assignments manually, sometimes you get notifications for things that you've already worked on.

AMAZING AMAZING extension. As an extreme procrastinator and ADHD student, It has helped me stay ahead in my classes. I am able to see which assignments are due soon and sends out reminders of due dates and deadlines.

Old Review: Just an FYI for potential downloaders- it doesn't work anymore. It used to be amazing, though. Edit: Owner fixed the problem and was quick to message me about how he was getting the problem fixed, and once the problem was resolved. So grateful, this semester is my last and now I don't have to organize everything myself! Thanks I-Know!!!!!!!

I used to love this extension, but it suddenly stopped working and now it won't load any of my courses anymore. Super annoying after I have come to rely on this extension to help me see what I have to do every week.

Last semester this was very helpful!!! But now, it is not adding each assignment for this assignment so I am missing assignments.

It is a great tool, but it has been crashing non-stop these past days. Nothing helps, using in a new tab, in a new window, or as a popup. I also tried to remove and install again, nothing... Keeps crashing and it doesn't say why. I am trying to use it with instructure canvas at BYU-I. Hopefully it comes back to a working state, this was a life-saver.

Works great when it works properly. It has been crashing for a while now. I have removed and reinstalled many times.

This extension is AMAZING, when it works. I have rarely had problems with it the past two years of using it until this week. It has said "I-Know Crashed" for the past three days. I've tried removing and re-downloading the extension multiple times and nothing works. I've also tried contacting someone to help me and never received any help. I'd love to get it working again.

I love this app! It is the only reason I was able to get a 4.0 last semester. Full Time Student. Thanks!!!!!!!

What a great extension! I use this with D2L and it is so much better than anything brightspace gives you. The ability to quickly browse through your due dates and click through to the assignments is amazing. I was using brightspace pulse before this, which has a similar feature, but can only be used on mobile, which makes it pretty useless. I-Know makes planning and executing your weekly homework so much easier. I would urge anyone using the D2L system to give it a try! The developers support is unbelievably good! I was having a sign in issue because of a pseudo class my school put into the courses area. I reached out to the developer and they pushed out an update for me within the hour.

I use this everyday, and it has been a lifesaver. I have never missed an assignment because of this extension, and it it is the best thing i have ever gotten.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!

This is such a great idea, designed and implemented very professionally. I don't think any LMS that I have dealt with has a good system for tracking due dates. This makes it so I never use my planner! I've had a really good experience with this and I recommend it to everyone struggling with the transition between Brightspace and Canvas. Its simplicity makes it sophisticated. Some criticism: I'm not sure if this is browser related, but sometimes I click on it and it doesn't open. I've had to reload my instances of chrome and clear my cache and that doesn't seem to work so I've just ended up uninstalling and reinstalling. Also it would be helpful for when it's reading Brightspace assignments that are on a checklist, it could say that the checklist ITEM closes, and not the checklist itself. Course Content Links are a great idea, but now that most of my courses are in canvas, all those links are to courses that I work in as an admin, and also courses that are from past semesters.

good, but need some key items with paid version to make it work for me. Right now my i-know dash is cluttered with things that are not even assignments or dated correctly. wEven with paid version you cannot edit items that are synced. one of my classes changed the due dates for things without updating the info online. also there are some "assignments" shown on the extension that are not actually assignments. (its a module or description of the week). No option to delete items. When u try to get a link for an assignment, it does not save your "work" on the assignment you're creating. will simply vanish.

I will update this once I get a reply. I actually love this extension! I had it on Firefox as an extension, but one day it just disapeared! I have been trying to find it or get in contact with anyone in the company for about 2-weeks now, but so far no luck :(

Switching over to I-Learn 3 was a nightmare! Ryan Allred saved my bacon when he created this extension. I love the what-if calculator, the option to add due dates (great for discussion post deadlines), and that I can have an accurate checklist of all my assignments. Awesome!

Awesome extension. Saves me a lot of time and is super easy to use.

Edit: Now no assignments from that class show up. I am grateful for the reminders of other assignments due, but I have to use a separate planner now to make sure I'm not missing those assignments. This is disappointing. Original review: Very helpful most of the time, but there is one specific class that certain assignments wont show up for. They MAY show up for a few seconds on the day that they are due, but only for a few seconds and then they disappear. I have almost missed several assignments for this class because of it.

Thanks for this amazing app. I wished I could have this before. Amazing idea Ryan. Thanks for making it free as well.

So easy

This extension has helped me so much! I am a good student and I would do my homework if I knew when it was due, but I have a hard time keeping track of things. This is a life saver!

This App has SAVED MY BACON more than I can say! It makes planning for class so easy! Much better than the Brightspace site. I contacted the developer to have him mute all the assignments that were opened but not immediately due, and he did. 1000 stars! I highly recommend it!

Excellent extension! Works flawlessly and I use it daily to manage my online course load.

This is an amazing extension. It has helped me organize my work load and to keep track of my grades. I don't know what I would do without it. It is a must have with the disaster of I-Learn 3.0. Also, the customer support is amazing. Ryan personally reached out to me and helped me fix some issues I was having. It is with out a doubt worth every penny.

Fantastic. It gets better with every update!

I've had this since it was free and this version is at it's best it's ever been. It does everything that I've been wanting it to. I would seriously consider paying for it now just because of how easy it has made my life. I could not survive my online classes without this extension. I-Know makes up for everything that I-Learn doesn't have, and more. I have recommended it to a ton of people and I will continue to do so.

I've had this for about 8 months now, and I love this. It tracked my assignments and gave me reminders when I had 2 hours left to turn an assignment in. Now with the new update, I am at a lose for words. It still tracks my assignments and gives reminders, but it also makes it easy to see updates, and news from professors, campus events, to view grades (past and present. This is just an amazing extension that I think would only benefit someone. Keep up the good work, and thank you! :)

I got this extension when it was free and I loved it. Now it doesn't load any of my classes and it is "forever refreshing" the page. Is this because it is out of date? Do I have to pay for a newer version in order for it to work?

I love it... when it works. It doesn't add all my classes at the beginning of a new semester, only some of them. And sometimes not all the assignments show up. But when it's working, it helps a lot.

OH MY GOODNESS! I LOVE THIS HEAVEN-SENT THING! Thank you, Ryan Allred. One of my friends showed it to me Fall 2016 and I am so grateful for it. It is very nice to see all that I have due in the upcoming days and plan accordingly without having to navigate all of I-Learn. Plus it is always fun to check things off and see all the green! Yes it does cost $5, but so does a Little Ceasar's pepperoni pizza. I-Know is #worthit

i love this extension, but i dont think its smart for people to pay $5 a month for it. and it made me pay when i changed my computer, it would be nice i know why please let me know why.

This helps, but I feel like the extension has gotten worse with time. I wish it would update the completion of my assignments automatically. Instead, I have to manually check them off. Then, half the time it un-checks work I've already done. It also takes a bit to load. I feel this would all be a little more forgiveable if the extension was still free, or at least a lot cheaper. I got it back when it was free (and worked better, frankly). I would not pay $5 for this today. Bottom line. I still use it and it is helpful, but there are some bugs that could be worked on.

Seriously awesome. I had the Brightspace pulse app, which is glitchy! It worked okay last semester, then when the new semester began, it registered none of my classes. I started to panic until my friend told me about this extension. I feel so grateful!! Thanks, Ryan; it's worth every penny!

I love this. I have used it for four semester now. Made my life so much easier. Ryan is a great guy.

The checklist still here but I can't see the What if calculator anymore.

It is a great extension. It's sad that the creator got greedy and started charging for it. I told all my friends about it but no one wants it because you have to pay for it.

Beautiful Extension. I love it honestly. It is simple, easy to use, and crystal clear. 4.99 is an easy price to pay for all the things that should have been included in I-Learn 3.0 from the start.

I love this extension but I don't know why I have to pay for it now since its been free the last two semesters.

Decent Extension, the applications and uses are very beneficial. The cost is ridiculous in my opinion. While $3 a month isn't an extraneous amount, it still is enough for me to consider not using this extension.

Worth the monthly fee! Thank you Ryan! It has made life so much easier!

Thank you soo much!!! This is totally worth every penny.

Why do I have to pay for this boi?

Multiple classes hw compiled into this fantastic extension is amazing and exactly what I needed. THANK YOU Ryan Allred

Amazing. This helped me so so so much. I took 4 classes online last semester. I don't know that I would have made it through without this extension. It helped me stay organized. I had a couple of very minor problems. For one class, it would show every single grade change as a new class (I don't know if that makes any sense). The other classes updated themselves with every grade change, but the one would show up as new classes with every change. At the end of the semester I would have to scroll forever to find the most current grade. 3 of my classes updated and were working great but the 4th class showed up as hundreds of different classes (which actually made me feel pretty productive, so 5 stars!). The problem class was in ilearn 2, so that may have had something to do with it. Everything's in ilearn 3 now, so that shouldn't be a problem now. Other than that, sometimes I would click on something because I completed it, it would show as completed, but a few seconds later it would go back to incomplete. I figured it was just my computer. I just had to click it again and it was all good. I thought I'd mention it anyway in case anyone else was having that problem. Thank you so much for making this!

Seriously.... BYU-Idaho students owe you BIG TIME!

I love this app! It combines both the new and the old I-learn and allows you to check assignments off as you complete them! I LOVE IT!!

LOVE THIS!! This extension has literally saved my grades! It would be nice if there was the option for assignments to disappear once they have been checked off. Also, a "what-if" calculator would be awesome!

I tested this out on my desktop at the beginning of the semester and found it really helpful. Just recently I've started to work more on my laptop so I can be a little bit more mobile and found myself looking for your extension every few minutes. Now it is on all my computers. This thing is a life saver. Amazing work.

Someone give this guy a job, and stock options! Seriously if you had a tip jar I'd tip you!

"Necessity is the mother of invention."-Plato This is amazing! All BYU-Idaho Students should use this.

(Top: Praise. Bottom: suggestions) You are the man. I-Learn 3 has been the bane of everyone's existence since it was launched, and you sir have actually done something to fix it! Thanks for the ingenuity and for listening. Here's my suggestions: If you can get affiliated with the school, I'll feel safer, and plus you'll probably get paid. You can have these 5 stars for now, but if there's a glitch that makes me lose an assignment, you'll lose them. Plus, all of my professors have hated I-Learn 3 as well. Perhaps you could make a special extension for them as well? Good luck.

This is great! Have you thought about building a what-if calculator (similar to iLearn 2.0)?

This is so amazing!! Having a place where it combines my grades and due soon assignments for ILearn 2.0 and 3.0 is absolutely beautiful!

Oh my gosh, bless your beautiful soul for making this! The beginning of this semester has been hellish, having the majority of my classes on I Learn 3.0. I have forgotten so many assignments and just been frustrated in general, but no longer. Thanks so much!

Its good

God bless you. This is perfect. Do you have a donation page set up?

Thx ryan, make our life a lot better. Would be nice tho if the item will remove after you checked it and for some reason, one of my course B428 can't be detected in the system.

my extension wont work anymore :/

It's only my first semester and this is a life saver. And it can only get better! Thanks Ryan and everyone else for downloading this. Now tell everyone about it and get the whole campus to use it!

Wow, this is solving a lot of the issues I have with iLearn 3.0. THANK YOU.

I love this extension! It helps me know when my assignments are due (by day not date!) in both 2.0 and 3.0. Maybe I learn 3.0 should take a hint about why this is so popular.

Honestly Ryan you just saved my life. I just started back up and I about had it with not knowing what was due and having to go back and forth and back and forth. This is awesome! Thank you Ryan!

This is a life saver!

This is so helpful!! I think everyone could use this. I love that all of my classes appear here and that I can actually check off tasks as I do them. Thanks Ryan :)

I'd recommend getting this even if you don't use I-Learn 2.0 & 3.0. It's notification system is better than I-learn's.

This extension saved me endless hours of worrying if I had everything I needed turned in! I think this is so amazing, especially if you have 2.0 and 3.0 classes, but even if you only have 3.0, this is a life saver! Thank Ryan!

Super useful! iLearn 3.0 sucks, but this app makes it suck waaaaaayyyy less. Just get it. You won't regret it.

This is a life saver! Everyone that hates iLearn 3.0 will love this. Thank you so much.

This is so cool! You should sell it to D2L.

This is so helpful, thank you! Will there be any problems one the switchover is complete and they no longer are connected to I-Learn 2.0?

I didn't even know what my over all grade in the courses i have learn 3.0 were until now! I love having everything in one place too, its fantastic!

I learn 3.0 is literally the worst thing to have reared its ugly face for BYUI. So glad this exists and now I don't have to spend so much time fumbling between both I-learns now. Great job!

this is legit man thanks! i will tell everyone i hear that complains about ilearn!

Good Stuff. Good to know you'll be on the development team for I-Learn. I haven't been able to figure out what he defcon notifications are.

Makes life so much easier! Thank you!

Exactly what I-Learn needs. Thanks!

Saved my life.

This is amazing. Thank you so much!

This is fantastic! I wish the school had made this!

Haha I love the name. It does a great job of bridging that gap between the two systems

Well done! Haha I'm sure this will become more of a thing once people start telling their friends about it, which they should.

This is SO helpful when trying to figure out when my assignments are due. Thanks a bunch Ryan!

I made it. I had to rate it 5 stars...
