## Description

**Ekadashi Reminder for ISKCON** is a minimal and precise Chrome extension designed to help devotees observe Shuddha Ekadashi Vratas according to Vaishnava traditions. It calculates the next Ekadashi fasting day based on your location, offers configurable system notifications, and supports both historical and current ISKCON calendar standards using Mayapur or your current location.

The extension uniquely follows Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura's guidelines from the "Shri Navadwipa Panjika" and respects Vaisnava Smriti principles. It includes support for daylight saving time across Europe, USA, and Australia, a database of 4,000 cities for easy location entry, and multi-language support including Hindi, Bengali, and English among others. With customizable horizon and Ayanāṃśaḥ parameters, this tool provides an accurate and user-friendly way to honor Vaishnava Ekadashi observances worldwide.

## Review summary

Users praise location-based timings, reliable reminders, and an ad-free, easy-to-use interface. However, multiple reviews report date inconsistencies, updates failing to refresh countdowns, and timing not aligned with true tithi, leading to timezone-related mismatches. Occasional gaps in future Ekadashi info also noted. Overall, the app is highly useful for Ekadashi planning but needs improvements in date accuracy, automatic updates, and true tithi alignment.

### Pros

- Accurate Ekadashi timings based on location with reliable reminders.
- Helpful for fasting and learning the Ekadashi stories (katha).
- Clean, ad-free, and very easy to use.
- Makes planning fasting days straightforward and reduces confusion.
- Well-received by ISKCON community; supports bhakti practice.

### Cons

- Occasional wrong or inconsistent dates for Ekadashi, even for the same location.
- Real-time countdown/remains duration doesn't auto-update in the app.
- Tithi-based timings are not fully used; timings rely on Indian timezone, causing mismatches.
- Some future Ekadashi forecasts or updates are missing.
- At times it shows only one upcoming Ekadashi after today.
