Description

Owl Reminder can connect your Google Calendar and provide desktop notification for events. Compared with existing solutions it has several advantages: 1. Instant push notification while most other solutions use infrequent polling which can have long delay. 2. Caches events offline so reminder still works even if there is no internet connection. 3. A simple to-do list kind of UI with snooze and dismiss buttons. People can use it as simple task management tool. 4. Supports rich notification with snooze, location and hangout buttons for extra convenience.

Useless - I can't sign in to my Google Calendar. It says "Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app. This app has not been verified yet by Google in order to use Google Sign In."

it's great in that it connects to G calendar, but it does not display any deadlines beyond 7 days. This limit is just arbitrary and has made the otherwise ok app useless to me.

It only gives the notification IF you press the reset button on the exact time or after :(

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.

The app is beautiful and the notifications worked great. One small caveat for me though. Not all my events in Google Calendar require notifications. In fact, some of my events in Google Calendar have notifications but not all do. It would be nice if Owl Reminder only notified me when there was a notification on the events. Also, it would be nice if there were more notification sounds. Perhaps a choice of four or five. Otherwise, a good app.

Seamless integration with my account and multiple calendars but cannot help notice one blaring feature that would seem like a basic part of the app, adding notifications. Would love to use this app but I need to be able to add as well as view/modify my events.

It would have been amazing, except I don't know how to work the thing!
