### 4/5 — YouTube Channel Search missing

*2026-04-17*

This is the only feature remaining to make the app perfect. Now it’s extremely tricky to search for a channel in a separate app and then come back just to add it in a group

### 2/5 — Safari extension?

*2025-04-29*

It would be nice if Pocket Tube would be available as a Safari extension. Could use it with my other YouTube  extensions instead of being stuck within the app itself

**Developer response:** Why 2? How is it related to the app? Moreover, we have a desktop Safari web extension that is available on our site to download.

### 2/5 — Worked for two weeks

*2025-03-26*

It worked fine for the first two weeks. Then all of sudden it started to tell me to log in my YouTube and link the account. My account was already logged in and linked. Couldn’t fix the bug no matter what I try. Had to give it up. But since it’s free after all I’ll give it 2 stars.

**Developer response:** Try to use latest version, it should be resolved

### 3/5 — Stopped indicating

*2025-01-20*

It was working fine for a couple of weeks, but now it is not indicating with a dot when there is a new video posted in a subscription.

**Developer response:** Maybe you disconnected your account? Try to check it on the latest tab.

### 3/5 — Good, but…

*2024-07-06, version 2.0.43*

I came across this when I realized that you couldn’t organize subscriptions directly on YouTube, so this does help fill that void, but there are a couple minor tweaks that would make it way better. First, when on the iPad (where I watch most of my YouTube) if you click on a video in landscape mode and it starts playing in the app, you have to switch it to portrait mode in order to go back to the last screen. Secondly, it would be nice to be able to sync devices and keep updated on new/old subscriptions. I understand not being able to sync desktop and the mobile app being different interfaces, but after I sorted everything on my iPad I downloaded the app on my iPhone and none of the categories applied. Anyway, it’s a great concept, just could use a little improving, so I hope there’s an update soon!

### 4/5 — Great extension but support seems to be halted at the moment.

*2023-08-31, version 2.0.43*

..

### 3/5 — should make it a safari extension just like the pc version.

*2022-11-01, version 2.0.41*

title says it all, would be nice if it would work as a safari extension and have all the features that you would have on desktop, but in your pocket.

### 2/5 — Groups are not syncing from desktop

*2022-08-10*

This app is cool but it doesn’t sync groups created on desktop to this app. Only channel list is showing up and it is asking to create new group list on mobile app.

**Developer response:** You should use Google Drive to sync data between devices.

1. On the extension side, click on the extension icon(top-right corner) -> Open the Backup tab and enable Sync with Google Drive.
2. On the phone side, you should open the latest tab and link to the same Google Drive account there.

### 3/5 — does not load all my subscriptions

*2022-07-28*

PocketTube is useful on desktop, but this app seems to give up trying to load my (admittedly large) list of subscriptions somewhere in the I‘s, so it’s not usable for me.

**Developer response:** It's restricted by YouTube for large lists, we have workaround it on a desktop, but not in the app

### 5/5 — Deserves Higher Rating

*2022-03-04, version 2.0.35*

This app is just what I was looking for, and it works fine for me! Thank you to the developer for putting this together, I sincerely appreciate it. I have sorely missed this feature and YouTube for years, so having an alternative like this is truly the next best thing. Thanks again, and I wish you many more positive ratings.

### 5/5 — Now it works !!

*2021-12-12*

Thank you for update the app

**Developer response:** Try to use latest version

### 1/5 — Partially featured correctly

*2025-02-05*

Doesn’t seem to work well on iPad. Lack of control when video is launched into full screen automatically, but does not utilize full size of screen or allow exit out of a video, making the user kill the app to just get back to main app screen.

**Developer response:** We improved iPad view in the latest version, please try to use it.

### 1/5 — The app has stopped working for me.

*2025-01-31, version 2.0.43*

The app has stopped working, keeps asking me to connect my YouTube account although it’s already connected and I cannot access any of my YouTube channels through this app. It just keeps going round and round in circles asking me to sign in and to connect my YouTube account, please sort this out. before that, the app is great.

### 1/5 — App appears to be broken

*2024-07-12*

The app won’t show me a list of my subscriptions that I can add to a folder.

**Developer response:** You should connect your YouTube account before

### 1/5 — No iPad extension

*2024-06-14*

But work on laptop Mac

### 1/5 — App is broken in landscape mode on an iPad

*2023-06-06*

The app is not very good on an iPad in landscape. You can’t navigate back from a lot of windows. I’m surprised a Safari extension hasn’t been made for the iPad yet.

**Developer response:** We improved iPad view in the latest version, please try to use it.

### 1/5 — No longer working!

*2022-06-08, version 2.0.35*

I was happy with the app when I installed and set up YT groups last week but sadly it’s totally broken now. It always says “Get my YouTube subscriptions”, doesn’t load channels or videos. Just to be sure, I deleted the app & data, re-downloaded and re-linked YT and GDrive. Same issue, the app does absolutely nothing now. I’ll happily update review when/if the app get fixed…

### 1/5 — Not working properly

*2022-02-07, version 2.0.35*

Channels I no longer subscribe to still showing, which rather makes the app useless. I have re-linked to my YouTube account but no improvement.
Also - click on the ’App support‘ link in the App Store send you to the website… with no app support. I am uninstalling the app. Sad…

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-02-03, version 2.0.35*

Does not show my already established groups on chrome even though I linked my accounts. So disappointed. Chrome extension works great. No solution for the YouTube app…

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2021-11-30*

i have login in, but has to login in again, it means i never can log in, pls fix it!

**Developer response:** Try to use latest version

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even log in

*2021-07-27*

From initial installation it asks for google account access and then just refused to work. While the access is granted and can be verified on google security page, the app just keeps asking for access over and over again

**Developer response:** Try to use latest version

### 5/5 — Just Enough!

*2026-03-24*

I had about 100 saved channels on YouTube and many were getting ignored and other times I wanted to look at history ones and they were so scattered across my list on YouTube. This is perfect! I only needed a simple little bit of help and now with about 20 different categories, on evenings I’d like to look at history channels, it’s at my fingertips. Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2026-01-22*

Exactly what I needed. I have too many YouTube subscriptions and YouTube doesn’t allow you to organize them. This does. I installed it on my Mac saved the settings, imported them on my phone and iPad and everything works  as one would expect. Great job!

### 5/5 — Works very well!

*2025-06-20*

Best way to sync Data is with Google Drive, the YouTube account doesn't seem to work for that.

But you can also export data to a file and load it onto phone like that. Very well made app!

### 5/5 — Blocked access to  YouTube

*2025-04-28, version 2.1.20*

After putting hundreds of channels into folders, YouTube access was blocked. Reconnection via Google account failed many times. No customer service so no go at all

### 5/5 — Works well

*2025-04-17*

I like it. It’s handy.

**Developer response:** Thanks! So glad to hear you're like PocketTube.

### 5/5 — Fixed!

*2025-04-16*

I can log in now and I see videos from my subscriptions.

**Developer response:** Thanks! So glad to hear you're like PocketTube.

### 5/5 — So useful

*2024-03-10, version 2.0.43*

I find really hard to believe YouTube doesn’t have a way to organize your feed, but there you go, this extension/app does exactly that very well.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2022-12-10, version 2.0.42*

Been using it since it had a hundred downloads on the chrome store, love the work by the developer on all platforms. Use it especially when I’m about to work or gym

### 5/5 — This App is Fantastic

*2022-11-05*

The developer must have worked out all the bugs because I just tried it and it works exactly as advertised.
I was finally able to organize my mess of subscriptions.
Thanks to the developer.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words!

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2022-06-09, version 2.0.35*

I love this app. I didn’t find it to stay current with my subscription list on youtube, even when I manually triggered a refresh of my subscription list. But if I logged out of youtube and logged back in, all of my channels were still organized and the new subscriptions were in the list.
