User reviews

No sidebar option, but clean interface and working.

Works just as advertised. I chose this over the more popular "DF Youtube", because it needs fewer permissions and is open source. There is, however, one remaining minor distraction for me: The left side bar on the main page, whose Subscriptions segment features some potentially distracting thumbnails. I think it would be nice to have an option to collapse that side bar by default, as you can do by clicking on the hamburger menu above.

Excellent! Away with recommendations, reviews – clean viewing. I chose this out of curiosity because it had no stars and no reviews. It works just fine. Thanks!
