Latest reviews
- (2025-07-16) Fz A: Great extension. My favorite feature is the sidebar showing live youtube channels. This works great on youtube but on twitch I noticed some channels are not showing. Like 8 channels missing out of 22 I see live on youtube at one point.
- (2025-07-16) AL: $5 for an app that only works on Twitch? Do you think your Paramount+ or Google Play!?
- (2025-06-30) 휘동이: This extension was useful, but fairly unstable nowadays. Please don't include many functions, just focus on the basic ones.
- (2025-06-29) Ethan Godwin: The app no longer works. the main focus of the extensions (previews) no longer show when hovering over a screen, making 90% of the reason why people download this app useless. (also, all the other features that have been free since the beginning have now been paywalled for $5 a month, so now the other 10% of the app is also useless)
- (2025-06-08) Knightalon 13: Used to love this extention but not enought to pay for it. And now that I see that the develiper is behaving like a man child now that people are mad, even if it went back to free I would never come back. Grow up dude.
- (2025-06-07) zip zap: Greedy dev went full paywall. I cannot wait till someone else make a similar extension so we can all forget about this one
- (2025-05-31) Zak: Wants almost half the cost of Twitch Turbo or YouTube Premium to re-enable Favourite features & more that were once free.
- (2025-05-28) Wassi Un Nabi: Good features. Really improves the experience.
- (2025-05-22) Jeff: $5/month for a chrome extension, you must be out of your mind.
- (2025-05-21) Erik Carboni: The way you went about paywalling this was incredibly poor. The fact that you seem defensive and surprised by recent negative feedback resulting from this demonstrates a complete lack of common sense and business sense. You began by making this app free for a VERY significant amount of time, with full features, then SUDDENLY decided to paywall many of the key features. OF COURSE that is going to leave a terrible impression with people. You went from allowing unlimited favorites for free to 5 AFTER PEOPLE HAD ALREADY CHOSEN THEIR FAVORITES among limiting other key features very suddenly and providing NO WARNING TO USERS WHATSOEVER, and now you are arguing sarcastically with your own users who are, very understandably, not pleased in these reviews. A direct quote from you below, to a user expressing their legitimate grievances: "Oh im sorry, i had no idea i work for you for free." This is childish to the extreme and demonstrates a sense of entitlement. You DO work for free when it is a free app and your stance has always been aligned with that. No one asked you to keep working on this app or adding features. YOU chose to do so, apparently because you saw dollar signs in your future. YOU never clearly communicated that features would eventually be paywalled, allowing users to get used to all features and THEN restricting them by forcing them to either choose their favorites to keep or pay you. THIS IS ALL ON YOU, and I look forward to the flood of negative reviews you are about to receive. I am generally happy to support others, but based on how you went about this and your entitled attitude, you will never get a cent from me. Your app was useful, but not even remotely essential. I'll live without it just fine. Bye!
- (2025-05-21) Kevin Ruan: when a good app gets pay walled...
- (2025-05-21) Radio: Used to be a great extension but locked their best features behind a paywall now unfortunately.
- (2025-04-17) J Mar: This would be good, if the so called ads didn't pop for every channel, WHEN THEY ARE NOT EVEN PLAYING AN AD, EVEN ON CHANNELS THAT DO NOT HAVE ADS.......that one thing makes this a horrible app....In response to your comment below, I have been IN channels in my favorites list, while there are no ads playing and hover over that same channel to preview it and it plays the "preparing your channel" blank ads. So if there are no ads playing in the channel, why does your program do it? What is happening when your program pulls the channel into a preview? Especially because Twitch does not play "blank" ads.....I can hover over a channel in the list and it'll play a "blank" ad and if I move it off and back on after a few seconds it does it again over and over until you let the whole ad run. I Tried it with a free week of twitch turbo for no ads and it does not do it. The issue is not the ads themselves it is the frequency in which they pop up in previews, it does not follow the same frequency as twitch ads themselves on channels that do run them, so why is it different for your app? Also blaming twitch and posting a twitch support link is an extremely poor response and for sure will not gain any kind of response to a "Third Party" extension complaint. Even if it is twitch (which I can believe) your extension acts as if I am not logged into twitch and haven't actually let any ads run its course and restarts all the timers each time I hover another channel. Honestly at the end of the day if twitch hadn't removed the categories video previews I wouldn't even need an app like this. I tried to give this another shot but honestly your app has more ads than twitch itself many, many more ads. Your previews even play ads when the channel itself isn't playing ads, so I am removing this app, it's useless when every single time I hover over a channel to preview it plays either a 15 sec ad or a 3 min add. It's easier to just to go to the channel. If this app would at least match the ad spacing that twitch actually uses on peoples channels it wouldn't be soooo annoying. You say it's twitches fault and to go complain to them when your app plays more ads than they do. No, no thank you.
- (2025-04-11) Split Soul: use to be good but now it gets detected by twitch or the streamer and the audio keeps getting automatically muted
- (2025-04-09) Alexander Schmidt (AlexosHDx): crazy underrated, literal must-have for regular twitch users
- (2025-03-17) Eetu Kaipiainen: Paywalling the favorite streamers sidebar is horrible and made this extension useless.
- (2025-03-16) Hayes: Was great at first, but now I'm getting a ton of popups and notifications on it with no way to opt out. Looking for an alternative. Edit: Lately the extension has been intermittently freezing my browser, having to terminate it via task manager. Still getting occasional popups that are *branded* as this extension. No other extensions are installed. Developer appears to claim the extension doesn't create popups. Downgrading to 1 star and removing the extension.
- (2025-03-11) DH DH: With this extension, I now see “Prepair your stream” placeholder very often. Without it, there are no such placeholder or ads.
- (2025-02-26) Tetra: I really like this extension and have used it for years now, but after a hiatus from twitch, I have come back and for some reason the Incognito Chat option has been removed? It used to require a /login command to join chat, if that helps remember what I am talking about. I miss that setting as an option because I like lurking streams without being called on but I dont want to be logged out for it lol
- (2025-02-21) Aaron Brown: Not bad, but this causes your chat messages not to appear in YouTube lives, and sometimes in Twitch chats.
- (2025-02-16) Krisztián Kecskés: excellent extension, works perfectly.
- (2025-01-11) TK: I love all of the options. I would love to be able to add themes or backgrounds to the menu though. Thank you for a great plugin.
- (2024-12-24) AV: The extension is really good
- (2024-11-24) Hadeks Marow: Previews windows are too big/act more like a mini player (even on lowest scaling settings) and the extension itself is too feature clunky. If you have a product called [SERVICE], then that [SERVICE] is all I'm downloading it for. Not all this extra BS. No one likes having to go into settings to enable or disable stuff just for the app to do what the name says without any bloat.
- (2024-11-22) Iarla: it's really useful... I'm glad someone thought about this :]
- (2024-11-22) Iarla: it's really useful... I'm glad someone thought about this :]
- (2024-11-08) Rinaldi JeanPierre: that auto scroll tab is game changer best plugin for twitch and youtube
- (2024-11-06) Mike Digital: Very useful extension for Twitch.
- (2024-09-23) Jon Siner (Anonymous): Hi, will the opportunity to subscribe via crypt be added?
- (2024-09-21) Dylan: The favorites side bar was my favorite feature this had but now it's locked behind a paywall after only 5. It was a good run.
- (2024-09-14) Jay lay: The owner is now asking for money with features that was previously free, like the "favorite feature". Also, the pricing system being monthly fees make not want to spend a single dollar on this extension.
- (2024-08-30) Cagematic Gaming: Love it, easy to use, so many emotes, and 100% free!
- (2024-08-30) Wian Vorster: bruv this the THE BEST THING EVER, in like 50 or 40 seconds i can go into the settings and enable favorites and i seperate my favorite streamers from the normal streamers i followed AND with other settings i can make it so that it automatically clicks the point chests so if one of my favorite streamers is streaming for a long time and i wanna go to sleep i can just go to sleep and let it rack up points while i sleep and it doesnt just have to be while i sleep i can have it on 24/7 so if im playing a game while watching or just forget it gets the point chests for me i havent really used it with youtube
- (2024-08-23) Hichem: lol asking to pay for features go to the trash instantly
- (2024-08-11) Ks: all fine :)
- (2024-07-30) Mik Sharov: a lot of useful features, especially the rewind (seek) and flashbang defender options in the Player section. i've recommended this extension to a lot of my friends who are too lazy to make clips to watch something they've just missed because their pet is too fluffy and cute right now and so now they can enjoy their time with both: their pet and twitch livestreams
- (2024-07-16) Bruno: Would it be possible to add an option to automatically activate Picture in Picture mode when switching tabs? If so, I would use this extension for the rest of my life since it seems like Google doesn't care about implementing this natively for Chromium-based browsers.
- (2024-06-24) Allanah Fuhre: I have long been frustrated with the way that twitch orders my subscriptions. Not any more! Not only does this extension show previews but I can now "favourite" some extensions and have them automatically show on a separate list at the top of the sidebar. BRILLIANT! I highly recommend this extension.
- (2024-06-09) Sameem: Sidebar search button should be able to search for categories too. Great extension but only 5 favorite channels is a bit wack.
- (2024-05-30) Brandon Lockaby: The actual previews haven't worked for me in years, but I keep it around for the "fast forward" button. What does work is the nag pop-ups. The other day this extension had the gall to randomly pop up a window something trying to say I needed to pay for some reason: "Clips previews free-tier limit reached (30) Subscribe to unlock this and other subscriber-only features!" This and similar pop-ups are unlike anything I've seen from other extensions, it's quite disgusting. Especially considering the "previews" part of the extension doesn't even work. Again, I still have this extension only for the fast-forward button!
- (2024-05-11) Tekhartha: Excellent extension, it make twitch much more enjoyable.
- (2024-04-11) Isaiah Perez: Plenty of useful features that makes using Twitch, and YouTube, a lot better.
- (2024-04-11) cheetahma08 tiger: the sound doesnt work on it
- (2024-04-07) Betânia Sousa: top
- (2024-03-19) Lidor Demp: Works great
- (2024-03-19) Kentucky “dfsdfsdf” Sally: This extension keeps losing features over time. At first you were able to add as many favourite channels as you wanted to, but now it's a paid feature. I would not mind paying once for it as it is a decent product, but a monthly subscription is a bit too much.
- (2024-03-18) Joseph Novak: Only use this extension to see YT/Twitch live channels and a few favorites. Favorites is now locked behind a paywall after 5. Time to move on.
- (2024-03-10) rmarbertin8: Yes & no - Yes, for what it is, but No because it puts the "pre"-viewed video into my watch history, making a mess of it. I presume this is impossible to avoid though.
- (2024-02-15) Matze: i added a bunch of favorites, now i get a prompt i can add only 5? what is this? it just worked until a few hours. so i got paywalled i guess. bad to put this feature away by limiting the favorites
- (2024-01-08) Big Box: Never change :3
