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.) :)

Very nice and easy, with no permissions or configurations. Under youtube, just click to share song to this app. Can then drag and drop icon where you want it. You can even drop onto other songs to create music mix folders, etc. Is awesome!
