by Lya12345, 8 months agoThank you for returning the recent playlists to the sidebar. This is what I wanted from the extension and it absolutely delivered.
The only problem is that it's using youtube's sorting of "recently added", which is flawed. It's probably including playlists with recently deleted/privated videos, because some of the top playlists I haven't touched in years. It would be amazing if you could make the sorting what it used to be, and show only playlists the user has recently added videos to.
(Also a "show less" option at the bottom would be appreciated)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Jerome Jaglale, 22 days agoMoving several videos at once from one playlist to another is paywalled (prompt for Patreon subscription). Lame.
A trial period, or a limit on the number of selected videos would have been better. And make that clear on the add-on description. Otherwise it just upsets people.
I understand it takes some work to maintain that, but give something useful to people first. No one cares about groups.
EDIT to answer the developer: Such nonsense! If so many users care about groups, why don't you make that only a premium feature? I would have gladly paid for this if it had been made in a way that made more sense and not so overtly money grabbing. You just wasted my time.
EDIT 2: Sir, I do appreciate your work: it's a great idea, you made it work, and you keep maintaining it. Bravo. I'm a developer myself, so I know it takes time, skill, and dedication. My point, like most bad reviews you got, is that most features are paywalled. And that's not mentioned in the plugin description at all. It's very misleading, and it's done on purpose. We installed the add-on expecting all those features would be free. That was our EXPECTATION. Discovering we have to pay, we felt tricked.
Please just be clear in the add-on description about which features are free, and which are premium. That's all. No one is arguing with you that your work deserves to be paid. We are upset just because we felt tricked. That's not good business practice. I'm taking the time to write that so you can do better in the future. Best of luck to you. Don't hate me too much :)Developer response
posted 22 days agoWe have a lot of users who care about groups, the basic groups for organizing playlists are free, if you want extended features you should become a patrons. We're showing Patreon screen on every of our videos. It takes time to update the extension every time YouTube changes internally.
Furthermore, the decision to keep some features for the Patreon version of PocketTube was made to ensure the long-term feasibility of the free version.
Edit: I understand you don't care about my hard work around the extension, we all like free stuff. But in a world where everything is free, we are the product.
Edit2: Ok, added it to a description - Rated 5 out of 5by Samantha Brown, a month agoIt's a such fantastic tool that I use every day to arrange my huge list of playlists. Thank you for the Black Friday discount it's so generous!
- Rated 1 out of 5by CrubNine, a month agoPop-up ads, clicking on them results in receiving "reminder" emails to your email. Not a good practice.
Edit: A pop-up ad is still a pop-up ad. Also I didn't give permission to be solicited through my email. Nor give my email handle at any point. How your add-on manage to get a hold of it is a complete breech of trust.Developer response
posted a month agoIt is a Black Friday sale and many people were happy with the discount. If you don't want it you can click on the close icon even without opening it and continue using our free version.
UPD: I'm sorry if my Black Friday popup made you angry. I understand it can be unpleasant, but honestly, it helps our users to get more!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17963083, 2 months agoI just wanted something that would allow me to move multiple videos to different playlists. Sadly, this feature is paywalled. It also has many other features, which may be useful to you, but not for me.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Jakk, 6 months agoDo not make a browser plugin show me pop up ads. This isn't a mobile store.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Samg381, 7 months agoPaywall. Unintuitive UI - Cannot remove 'Pockettube' playlist as first entry in sidebar.

- Rated 5 out of 5by BathindaHelper, 7 months agoVery very useful. But free version is useful only when you wish to delete multiple (hundreds of) videos from a playlist. For everything else you need to pay. And too much!!
