2024-09-04 | Erik Bryan | en | This basically seemed like a very limited version of the Time Insights functionality for non-work/school google accounts. I love that functionality. This doesn't measure up. Pros - you can label the colors for your calendar Cons - HARD to find the place where you can actually set the color labels -labels are ONLY visible when you hover over the choices during color selection -the labels do not display next to the color once it's chosen for the event -limited to default colors (no custom colors can be labeled) | |

2023-07-20 | Sarah Lesselbaum | It works on the web if you leave the original color name in the left column and the new name in the right column. It would be 5 stars if it also worked to change the names on my google calendar phone app but I cannot seem to do that. | ||

2023-07-08 | Brendan Mulvaney | I've been very happy with this since we installed it. But as the organization has grown, I now need a way to add new colors and then new labels to those colors. It seems like this is limited to the "set pack" of colors that come with the extension. Is there a way to add more? | ||

2023-02-26 | Stephanie Rae Thompson (StephRae) | It does work but you must close Chrome. Sort of like the old fashioned reboot after install. It is quite lovely thereafter. A simple instruction would help there ratings, it is a shame because it is a very nice feature that should have been built in. I hope Google just buys them out for millions 🌟 | ||

2023-02-14 | Tim Barrett | Worked great. Hard to find the settings so that would explain why people are frustrated, but that's a chrome issue not the extensions issue. I followed Michelle's review and found it no problem. You do have to hover for a second for the color name to appear but that's no problem and it will reinforce it as I memorize the colors. To change the names: On the Chrome 3-dot menu (in your browser menu not your calendar), choose More Tools, then Extensions. Find this extension, click the slider to turn it on (if it isn't already). Then click View Details. In the list you'll see "Extension Options"--click there, and THIS is where the menu is to change the labels. After that I refreshed my calendar and I was up and running. Thanks for a great and simple tool! | ||
