Great little extension. There can be challenges as others have mentioned. There is no documentation at all. The app is very simple, so this isn't a problem at first, until of course it is ... and then you aren't sure if you are doing something wrong or not. Please add is the ability to set the date range before it starts trying to pull information. A combination of the lack of documentation and Google bot security caused this issue ... too many API calls trip Googles bot protection measures, so entering a large date range gives you no results, but its not possible to tell why. Limiting searches to 6 month periods stopped this. Without documentation it was trial and error to figure that out though.

Many thanks to the developers of this extension. As an independent consultant, I sometimes forget when I was at certain clients. it has allowed me (with the CSV export) the ability to look up specific addresses that I need info about such as the time I arrived and left.
