Nic Thompson (ID: 00000068bce72b08) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/28/2023 Didn't work for me. Only showed up about 30% of the time.

icon

Steve Magruder (ID: 000000cc0a36cfb9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/30/2023 Works exactly as expected. Thank you for this extension! What would make this A+ perfect for me is if this also contained a setting to change the color coding of the event. E.g., I like to change my completed events/tasks to gray.

Steve Johns (ID: 00000040df075664) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/16/2022 It was working fine for the past two weeks. Today suddenly the check mark has disappeared. :( (Update: It's fixed now!)

icon

Molly Hutt (ID: 0000000f885cf067) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/28/2022 This is a great idea, but I wish there were more aesthetic options, like a checkmark emoji without the bright green box. The box can be confusing or distracting if you already use emojis on your calendar, e.g., to indicate different types of events so you can tell them apart quickly. It's also not ideal if you're aiming to keep your calendar's color scheme subtle and calm. I may use it in the future, but it's not quite what I need right now.

Richard Kelley (ID: 000000f2eaec56c9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/29/2022 This extension worked great for about a week. Now it no longer allows strikesthrough completed or cancelled events. The check mark and "x" shows up but is non-functional. Please fix !
