Ratings and reviews

Good and does the job but would like it to bd more personizable with custom icons or titles. The actual app does not need to be used, just for it to be there. The app looks very bland and the shortcuts are rubbish sometimes. It would be better if i could vlick the shortcut and go straight to youtube instead of doing an annoying extra step.

Simple app that works quickly and cleanly. Takes 2 taps to open a link. Can link a video, channel, or playlist. I like this app because it lets me open the educational or exercise channel/playlist that I want without getting distracted by time wasting videos on the home page. Channel linking doesn't seem to work for monetized channels. PRO TIP: You can create a link to a specific time in a video by editing the link in a browser and creating the shortcut from there. It will still open in the app.

Lightweight. Works great! 5 Stars In a future version: 1-When I create a shortcut, I can change the shortcut name. Afterwards, when I click the shortcut, a window appears with the video thumbnail, the name of the video, and a "Play Video" button. PLEASE make it so that the name that appears shows the name I made for the shortcut! 2- If possible, provide a textarea where we can type a note to attach to our videos! (Personally, I would use this to type chords to the song I'm about to play.) :)
