Good, but doesn't remember the last time stamp where you stopped watching the video

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.

This app should manage some small database which can hold all the shortcut links we made in our phone...therefore we can export them somewhere else also. Hope this feature would be added in future asap. By the way app is very useful👍

Simple and functional. Would give it 5/5 if it had an option to enable opening YouTube app directly without prompting with a button

Almost there. Doesn't open the Playlist directly in YouTube app, you still need to click on popup screen, but better than nothing. Can't believe youtube hasn't rolled out this feature yet inside the app.

Didn't work at all. Doesn't appear as a Share option in YouTube app. Uninstalled.

Does what it says. I appreciate that the icon comes from the video itself. Nice lightweight app.
