Sudipta Ghosh (ID: 000000747bfb2467) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/22/2023 Aw man, I was really excited about this add-on, but no dice. Couldn't find it on the right side of my screen, and the sidebar just vanished. Seems like it's some weird Google Calendar problem. I was really hoping it would work.

Charlie Onta (ID: 000000ad42cadfb5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/18/2022 EPIC Extension! Been using it for 15 days so far, looks super useful! It helped me reduce chunks of repeated, internal meeting hours and set up my schedule according to my priorities. Kudos!

Jonathon Dough (ID: 000000ab62282120) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/04/2022 Amazing! Has freed up so much time on my schedule :) Seems like have been too many unnecessary meetings! Thanks to Tackle!

Pulse Verse (ID: 0000004ba8e7e21d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/27/2022 Gotta admit, I was hesitant to use this app. Giving up control of my calendar, is really hard for me. After trying it out, I am very impressed. I love the auto tagging rules that automatically track my calendars since I don't have the time to track them. It also does have the ability to automatically tag color coded meetings, and here I have more control in choosing the tag colors. It's a great app with a lot of functionality. It's great to ease into as you become more comfortable with it.
