I installed the plugin on Calibre 2.76 and exported my GR library on CSV.
Problem is, I'm doing something wrong because I still can't import my reviews.
1- I deleted all the books/rows without review and some useless columns on Google spreadsheets to avoid problems with the CSV excel characters encoding and saved a new CSV.
2- I clicked on "Import List", opened the CSV tab and added my edited CSV (see attachment). In Columns to import, I checked my custom-created review column, set the position and hit preview: everything looked perfect.
3- Next step, I manually matched 8 books, all the others were matched. Then I hit next and finish.
4- After I hit finish, I got a list of marked results in Calibre which matched the books I wanted to import the review of, but there is no review! The field/column is empty, both the automatically matched books and the manually matched show no text (see attachment).
What should I do? Thank you for your help.

At step three, press the middle button on the right side. It looks like a star and has the tool-tip "Update metadata for the selected books in the list". This displays a list of the metadata columns shown with a checkbox. Only the columns that are checked will be updated.
