posted a month agoThe extension doesn't have any impact on videos. Try to disable other extensions, I suspect you have a conflict with other extensions. Patreon exclusive features are mentioned in the description, so what is the point? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18805677, a month ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mekkie, 2 months agoAll i want is to sort by upload date. This advertised it could, but there is no option to.
Developer response
posted 2 months agoNo, we don't have such an option, we only have the option to sort playlists on the manger tab by last updated, but not videos by upload date. Where is it advertised? - Rated 1 out of 5by Jerome Jaglale, 3 months 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 3 months 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 1 out of 5by CrubNine, 4 months 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 4 months 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 1 out of 5by Jakk, 8 months agoDo not make a browser plugin show me pop up ads. This isn't a mobile store.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Samg381, 9 months agoPaywall. Unintuitive UI - Cannot remove 'Pockettube' playlist as first entry in sidebar.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18302143, a year agoThe features you want like sort by last updated cost $3/month that is just damn ridiculous! I'm not paying $3/month for a sort by and sub-group folder! So just a pay walled extension that costs way too much!
Developer response
posted a year agoIt's important to note that the $3/month(or $30/year) fee isn't solely for the sort by video duration feature. Our PocketTube extension paid plan offers a comprehensive set of over 20 features across two extensions, all designed to enhance your browsing experience on YouTube.The nominal fee helps us cover the costs of maintaining and updating the extensions, especially considering the frequent changes and updates made by YouTube's platform.
We strive to provide value to our patrons by continually improving and expanding the features offered. For example, the sort by video duration feature was requested by our Patreon community and I implemented it specially for it. Developer response

There's no way I'm paying for something without being able to evaluate its functionality. (And besides, imagine charging a monthly subscription for a *browser extension*. Yuck.)
- Rated 1 out of 5by Elson Silveira, 2 years agoMost functionalities only work for Patreons. Don't waste your time
