### 1/5 — A waste of time

*2026-01-13, version 1.0.5*

The widget never connects to my YouTube account. It just says that I need to click to log in and when I click, it says that I’m already logged in.

### 1/5 — Not logging into my yt with a 3rd party app

*2024-12-16, version 1.0.5*

This app assumes you’re gonna login with your Google credentials. I don't even understand why you would have to login to track a channel subscriber account that doesn't seem accurate. That seems like he's just selling your information.

### 1/5 — No compren

*2024-09-18, version 1.0.5*

Esta aplicación no funciona

### 1/5 — Still not working

*2024-06-10, version 1.0.5*

No way to contact the creator either…

Do not buy. I want a refund

### 1/5 — The widget does not show certain channel’s uploaded videos

*2023-09-19, version 1.0.5*

So there is an option for the widget to show you a certain channels videos, which is nice because there are a couple channels I watch the videos right when they drop new ones. But, that feature has worked on and off for some time now, but now it does not work at all. Very disappointing, gonna keep the app/widget for a bit longer and see if it gets fixed, but its been quite sometime that it hasn’t worked.

Waste of money as of now.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-07-01, version 1.0.5*

Just bought this app, and it’s obvious the developer has NOT made any updates to ensure it stays up-to-date with the current iOS. It straight up doesn’t work. It’s literally unusable and a waste of money. Such a shame :/

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2022-12-17, version 1.0.5*

I’m using the app (no premium) and it works okay. I really like the widget showing my recently uploaded videos. No issues displaying thumbnails on my end (yet).

Two annoyances for me though: the statistics widget (the one showing subs, views, comments, etc.) has text too large to display on iPadOS, so the widget ends off leaving several digits cut off. Maybe add a medium sized widget for this too, considering that the only option currently is a cramped small widget.

Also most iOS stock apps use background color #1C1C1E but this app uses a lighter shade. Not a huge deal but a bit irritating to lack the uniformity.

### 1/5 — No videos.

*2022-11-15, version 1.0.5*

Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Please fix iOS16 integration!!!

*2022-09-19, version 1.0.5*

The widget is not working - just a blank screen. Hope this is due to incompatibility and can be fixed. 
Otherwise it’s just a rip off!

### 2/5 — Was willing to pay for this

*2022-09-16, version 1.0.5*

The thumbnails hardly ever load on your widget. You just get a white screen where the thumbnail goes. I’m on free trail and I’m not buying.
