Arun Mommileti (ID: 000000da6898ab73) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/08/2022 Me and my roommates have been using canvas since the dawn of time. When I saw this extension, I was really skeptical if it would work or be another scam. I can undoubtedly say this has changed my life. From the second I used it I was amazed with how much it changed the ease to which I check my calendar and do my assignments. Before I would manually enter big assignment dates into my Gcal, but bc Im lazy I would leave out smaller assignments which I would I remember 10 minutes before its due. Thank you for giving me the ability not to procrastinate and actually get things done on time!!!
