This extention seems to work intermittently. For instance, today I opened Chrome, and I saw three reminders: one from 2 months ago, one from a few weeks ago, and one from yesterday. I definitely did not get an Owl reminder about yesterday's appointment. I got plenty of Google Calendar reminders, though, along with Google Now reminders. This extention is unreliable and redundant.
