  • (2025-04-29) Taylor Monacelli: This is so helpful, thank you! Does exactly what I expect; nothing more, nothing less. Nice job.
  • (2025-02-21) Shivam Chandra: great extension!
  • (2024-09-28) DrD: Is there a way to change what the shortcut key combination is? I like the extension, however, I mainly want an extension to save time and be easy to use. Here's some feedback / ideas: 1. Switch the add and remove key combos - only use the "shift" key for the remove option. I like this better because it would make adding a little easier, and removing require just a little more effort. Great because I think making a mistake when removing is less favorable (and thus could need just a bit more concentration, like with 2 hands) then making a mistake when adding (mistakes are less of a big deal) 2. (option / shift / L) and (Alt / shift / L) are really cumbersome to use with one hand. Change it to (control / shift / L) - instead of (option / alt)- which I just think is a more natural hand position.. 3. Let you change the key combinations yourself? I don't know if the extension could allow this, but it would be nice to make them whatever you want.
  • (2024-09-10) Stevie Wonder: you already need the video open to add to watch later? its just as slow... i need the extension to work without the video open, as im browsing videos.
  • (2024-09-03) Andor Luhovic: Not working on mac :(
  • (2024-08-29) Jordan Bai: Unfortunately - Alt + ⇧ Shift + L to Add Video is not working as of this review, hopefully it gets fixed.
  • (2024-08-21) Pak Shing Kan: Works like a charm. Great app.
  • (2024-05-12) Alexandre Shafii: Is this still working? I am on a mac with the latest version of chrome but nothing happens when I press the command.
  • (2024-04-21) Some Guy Online: Simple, fast, works; thank you for making the effort to create this!
  • (2024-04-11) Jindřich Širůček: configurable shrtcuts in google extensions settings - great, works like a charm
  • (2024-02-15) Dominic McDevitt: Perfect! It's ridiculous that it takes about 5 clicks to save a video to watch later, but this solved that.
  • (2024-01-20) Dominik Górski: I rarely write a review, but in this case I owe it to you, champ. The extension is amazing and very useful, thank you! If I can imagine a better version of this extension, it would have a button to add videos to a list that would be somewhere below the video, or - the ability to assign one button as a hotkey instead of a two-key combination. Thank you very much again for providing such a useful tool. Wish you all the best!
  • (2024-01-10) David H.: Works perfectly. This is exactly what I was looking for :)
  • (2023-12-12) Alvi Sheikh: thanks for this extension
  • (2023-12-03) Roeniss Moon (문성혁): Works well. Thank you so much! My two cents: Toggling with 1 shortcut is more intuitive instead of two as it is now.
  • (2023-11-23) QuincyA: thank you kind sir
  • (2023-09-04) Jaime Blanco: This is what I was looking for. Thank you!!

  • (2023-06-13) Jordan E: Thanks! I love this extension. Is there any possibility of adding the following feature or creating another extension that's for adding a video to a specified playlist, or to have it open the "add to x playlist" window via a keyboard shortcut for quickly showing this window without having to click?

  • (2023-05-12) Shanary Stewart: I've been looking for this for so long. Youtube has been making so many changes to make adding stuff harder behind multiple sub menus. This is a game changer.

  • (2023-04-10) Mohamad Nossier: Perfect. Should have been a built-in feature in you tube. Both as a one-click button and a keyboard shortcut. Thank you!

  • (2023-04-04) Ben P-W: Can't believe this isn't baked into Youtube by default. Simple, does what it says on the tin. Now my Stream Deck is actually a useful video watching tool in entirety, for my 100+ watch later list 😬
