christyne macavinta (ID: 000000df9bd37e30) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/19/2023 I've had this extension for a long time and it is a life saver. It reminds me of everything I need due. And then I don't have to make a checklist all by myself. I've recommended it to a ton of people and it's definitely saved by behind a couple times. I also like that it shows you with color on the calendar which days the most homework will be due. That's helped me schedule and make sure not to plan too much around those heavy assignment days. Anyway, thanks for all the help!

Luis Alberto Camarillo Estudillo (ID: 000000c7024f0dfc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/18/2022 This has been so helpful these last few years! Amazing extension, thanks! I have been able to keep track of all my assignments through this.

Michael Muir (ID: 000000ea2b706092) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/20/2022 would be 5 stars if it worked on chrome based browsers on linux but only a little black box pops up on manjaro. it works great on my windows desktop but on my linux laptop it doesn't work.

Emily Mahana Yamada (ID: 0000001374c7ab0f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/17/2021 Previously my review would have been five stars, but just recently it has stopped working. I'll click on it and it will say "Installing - I-know is setting up" then after a couple of seconds it will say "Set up a connection: Open your school's learning system and open I-Know." My school runs on canvas, the same thing I have used for years. It worked perfectly in the spring. Now, it is nonfunctional. The semester starts this week and I don't know how I will survive without it functioning. I tried reaching out to the creator through synov.net with no reply for over a week. I will update my review when this is resolved. I really did love this extension when it worked! I have used it since my second or third semesters of my college career circa 2016 or 2017. Now I am in grad school and I still rely on it. I believe I even paid for premium? Unsure it has been so long.

Johnathon Peterson (ID: 000000ce0a9a29ad) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/11/2021 It won't load my assignments and keeps saying that I need to open my school's learning system and open I-Know. I've done this and have refreshed the page, removed and re-added I-Know but it still doesn't work.
