- Rated 5 out of 5by AmkiTakk, 6 months agoVery useful and easy to use, but doesn't play well with other Youtube extensions like Improve Youtube or Nova Youtube (works just fine with SponsorBlock though!), which can cause settings not to save correctly. I've disabled those extensions and now everything is working fine!

- Rated 3 out of 5by tomato sauce, 7 months agoshame it doesn't differentiate multiple channels, I have many of them for different kinds of contents and the groups from my main channel are shared through all of them, that's a bit annoying
Developer response
posted 7 months agoYes, multiple accounts are not supported. As a workaround, you can use different Firefox profiles(account containers) or use nested groups and create main groups for every account. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18115078, 8 months agoi really like this for organizing the channels i like to watch. the only problem i have is that in the side bar i accidentally expanded my subscriptions and now i can't look at my folders at the side and i can't figure out how to bring them back

posted 8 months agomaybe you changed position of the block, please check the tutorial https://youtu.be/r4iX53Qg2sE?si=RY9d5vh5zeGSnAlU&t=227 - Rated 5 out of 5by ClemTlse, 8 months agoI love this add-on but, recently, I encounter a strange behavior: when I select a site I am subscribed to in a PocketTube folder, PocketTube shows me the "Videos" page of the channel which is then constantly refreshing/flashing (or jumping to the next page?) until it shows me a blank page (the last page?). When I click on the "Home" tab of the channel, this behavior stops. It seems to only happen on the "Videos" tab.
I use the latest version of Firefox on Windows 10.
This behavior disppears if I switch off PocketTube. Cheers
EDIT: thanks for your reply. Spot on, I must have disabled it by error. Thanks! I updated to 5 star!Developer response
posted 8 months agoMaybe you disabled the Uploads filter on the page?
You should check it, the screenshot with filters https://share.cleanshot.com/XFxHyzwQ - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18236046, 8 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by klobexia, 8 months agothis extension is really comprehensive. it must have taken a lot of effort and attention to detail. I plan to get the full version soon, as its not that expensive and i feel unethical using the product of such effort and time without paying the creator.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Roon, 9 months agoNot open-source, some features are locked behind paywall. Sad to see this is the only extension that has channel grouping.
I understand making extension like this costs money but at least you could make donation optional rather than locking some of features behind a paywall.
Other than that, I am using the base feature very well. However please keep this review in mind and won't change this review unless the above problem gets resolved.Developer response
posted 9 months agoThe base features аre free. Watch the full tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4iX53Qg2sE If you need more, become my supporter. It takes time to update the extension every time YouTube changes internally. - Rated 5 out of 5by AngelTurret, 9 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Nick, 9 months agoThe idea is for 5 stars for sure. On chrome it seems to work pretty well. However, on Firefox it is kinda buggy.
Sometimes changes are not saved in spite of the fact the notification pop up explicitly says that changes have been changed. Sometimes you need to refresh the page to see the subscription list. Sometimes it works okay. Tried to disable other plugins, but didn't solve any issue.
Will keep using it for a while though.
-- edit --
After using it for a couple of days, it certainly deserves 4 stars, so I increased my rating from 3 to 4 stars.
Just for reference, the problems I describe above are in my Linux systems and in more than 2 (fully updated) computers. The problems mostly occur when i massively change the categories on the channel list. Apart from that, everything else runs smoothly.Developer response
posted 9 months agoIt's weird, we have the same version for Chrome and Firefox. Maybe you have some specific settings in Firefox - Rated 5 out of 5by beussta, 9 months agoVERY useful extension for a feature that youtube should have included as standard a long time ago, showing that a single person can do better than a multi-billion company
simple to use, very practical, and the non-paying part is more than sufficient
a big thank to the creator and good workDeveloper response

And my backup is a year old 🤦.

- Rated 1 out of 5by krypas, 10 months agovery privacy invasive, signed me up for some email list i never asked for or was aware that i agreed to
Developer response
posted 10 months agoWhat do you mean? We didn't collect your email, only when you logged on Patreon tab and agreed to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. And even in the case of the latest email newsletter was sent 3 months ago. So I'm confused what email list do you mean? - Rated 5 out of 5by biggsley, 10 months ago
