### 4/5 — Great functionality

*2022-07-17*

Love it my only add would be an option to show multiple videos from channels that you are subscribed to!!

Other than that great app!!!

### 4/5 — I bought premium for the open in app feature but it doesnt work

*2022-05-12*

If you could make it so the open in app feature opens the youtube app instead of a browser it would be appreciated. I bought the premium because I thought it would open the app but now that it doesnt I feel bad refunding a small reddit developer. Please fix. Otherwise good concept, just need that app feature and its perfect.

**Developer response:** It should open in the YouTube app not Safari. Youtube uses something called Universal Links, which means the link will open in YouTube as long as YouTube is installed and will open in Safari as a fallback. 

My best recommendation would be to ensure YouTube is already installed, but I’m assuming it is. 

I’m very sorry you had an issue with this feature, but at this time there isn’t a good way to fix your specific issue as it appears to be an isolated incident.

### 5/5 — Good and easy app but need help with something

*2021-05-23*

I don't know how to add them and i went in my widgets and it isnt there

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! if you can’t find WidgeTube in the “Add Widgets” menu then simply restart your device and it will be there. This is an iOS bug you can experience with many widget applications, hopefully it will be fixed soon 😃

### 5/5 — Highly recommend!

*2021-05-22*

Title says it all, it works flawlessly and I recommend pro!

### 5/5 — App does exactly what I’ve been wanting for a while

*2021-05-21*

iOS widgets are designed to show information, and the one kind of information that no other widgets display right now is YouTube info. This widget does just that. Whether you want new videos from your feed or info on your own channel, this widget app can do it. The only thing I’d like is perhaps more customization options for the widgets like changing the background color, or allowing you to add custom images as the widget background for people who are aiming for that transparent widget look. Anyway, core functionality is there, and it works perfectly!
