Brad Lance, 2024-10-03Good 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.
