Erica C (ID: 000000d861fd105b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/18/2019 Loved the idea, but I can't really use the app. I wanted to use Hourglass at work and connect it to my work account so I can see all the meetings I have. I'll be asked to log in, and can then view my work calendar, but after some time (maybe an hour or so) I'll be automatically logged out, and be asked to log in again. Makes it sort of useless. Might be because I'm logged into Chrome into my personal account, but I wish the extension just used whichever account I logged into Hourglass with.
