Review Summary

Users appreciate the extension's simplicity and time-saving ability to import .ics files directly into Google Calendar without downloads. It is open source and generally effective. However, many users report poor or unclear instructions, difficulty using with .ics links that trigger downloads, and recurring errors like 'can't create events.' Some mention recent problems with compatibility or format errors, and occasional failures with large files or shared calendars. Overall, it is valued but has reliability and usability issues for some.
