User reviews

Just keeps asking me to highlight text even though it's already highlighted. Unfortunately this just doesn't work at all.

This extension flat out works for me. I get so many texts/emails etc that say "see you later at 5" and it's easy to highlight this, click on the extension, and have it automatically populate an event on gcal.

One of the few extensions that still are able to parse selected text and automatically input date, time and description.
