- back on this after the Save To sort came back late Oct 2025. The sort in Save To is such a useful feature for me. Thank you to the Eduardo Garcia Reis review and the Dima Nobok positive response. Well done.
- Eduardo Garcia Reis
- Unfortunately, after YouTube's latest “update”, some of the extension's features stopped working. The option to sort playlists alphabetically is still available on the feed/playlists page, but it no longer appears in the “Save to” menu due to changes in the interface. This is very frustrating for users like me, who have about 80 playlists and now have to scroll through the entire list and hope to find the right one. I hope this feature can be fixed in a future update. That said, I highly recommend this extension.
- Atul “Al” Johri
- Worked out of the box for selectively trimming down my watch later list with bulk actions.
- J. Collins
- I downloaded this extension to try and fix a recent YouTube UI change: videos can no longer be added to or removed from multiple playlists in one go. Not only did this extension fail to do that as well, but it seemingly wanted me to create a PocketTube account and possibly pay some kind of fee to use its services. The way it notified me was with a very tiny "Join" button in the lower-left corner of my page. So, yeah. Not only did it fail to do the one thing I asked of it, but it tried to push membership on me. Unacceptable. On the bright side, the "Total Playlist Duration" feature seems to work, so there's that...
- Marcy Backup
- Could there be a sort option by title, artist or album?
- Imad Hallak
- Great to have a way to manage the list. However, the main need for me is to be able to see big number of items in one page to be able to move a video from the bottom of the list to the middle of the list in 2 or 3 steps. YouTube offers to move to top and that is it. it is not practical to manage a play list using you tube ability. The maximum number of items per page is about 10 and in the play list I have hundreds of items. It is appreciated to have the list of videos listed as (Details, Boxes, Big pictures, or Small) Same way the file Windows Explorer works so the user can select the view then move the videos in the order they wants.

- Good tool but not working after YT modified its UI. Plz update.
- thierry villetorte
- A very convenient tool!
- Marco Digital hyper
- The extension is very customizable.
- alvaro obyrne
- Nice one for anyone like me which has a ton of playlits
- Raphael Meireles
- This extension is incredible. I have (no joke) probably over 100 playlists on youtube because I like archiving good videos to rewatch later. It's everything from history, cool tech stuff, gaming, marketing, sales, learning japanese, sometimes "best of X creator", and a ton of others. However, whenever I find a good video, trying to find the right playlist(s) is a nightmare. With this I can just click the "add to playlist" button and search "hiring" for example and my hiring playlist comes up. Dude, you don't understand how helpful this is lol. I don't really use it for anything else other than this feature, but this single feature has saved me a lot of grief and wasted time. Just bought you a couple of coffees as a thank you. Thank you so much!!!
- Adam Buicke
- Absolutely love it
- v.kut7
- You made sense to playlist management on YouTube a shame that you needed to step up! Life safer for sure!
- Tan Zingtu
- Not sure if I'm missing something but deleting playlists in the PocketTube tab as instructed does not seem to actually delete the playlists. They no longer appear in the PocketTube playlists list but still appear outside of this. Am I missing something?
- Mchl J.
- Works well, helpful
- The Official YDB
- Doesn't seem to work at all. While in my playlist (Either viewing it full or editing the playlist) None of the options shown in the above video show up. And the only options in the Extension dropdown itself are "Backup" settings?? Don't even know what i would need these for. All i was looking for was a Tool to help me organize and move videos in my playlist into the correct order since YouTube has removed this ability for me, but guess this isn't the tool for that.

- top

- Would be better if you could sort by the music artists name
- Ahmed Ibrahim Abdelzaher
- It's a good extension to YouTube Play list to add or remove and mange videos in your playlist videos. I like it, Thanks a lot Pockettube
- Muhammad Nayef
- pretty nice work man and I especially like the UI, but isn't the number of free groups too limited? Five isn't much man I can't do much with it I have over 160 playlists and they're always increasing so five groups is a bit too limited. I'm not saying it's not helpful I appreciate the effort and it's your right to gain a little bit money from this but I just wish I had a bit more access in the free version. It's not a bug is it?
- Matthew Hall
- The core functionality - bulk editing playlists - is reserved for Patrons. Annoying that a function that takes no resources to use on the dev's part is paywall locked.
- Cole Nagel
- Does what it intends to do. Brings back the YouTube playlist functionality I once loved and still do!
- NIO9
- This is exactly what I've been looking for Very handy tool Thanks man
- James
- It's such a great extension! Thank you so much, well done!
- pikmin36
- Hot garbage and a buggy mess! I just wanted to sort my Watch Later videos into seperate playlists (I even subscribed to the Patreon for this feature), but whenever I select multiple items, create a new playlist and add the videos to it, it only adds one of the videos to that new playlist, even though it says 'x videos selected'. I lost a lot of videos I wanted to watch, because I immediately removed the videos from Watch Later, thinking it would be in the new playlist. Also the backup feature doesn't work at all. When exporting and inspecting the backup files, none of the playlists or videos are in it, just some usesell config data. Overall not recommended!
- C Guy The Guy
- Works instantly, and for now no bugs. It is sad that we need workarounds instead of google products keeping more functions and customization available but at least there are fixes like this.
- 無敵的吧
- NICE
- Jeremy Smyth
- So many bugs and every feature says Patreon
- nascent
- Another phenomenal addon from pockettube.io The main PocketTube addon is literally a must have for me - Youtube is unusable without it, and this Playlist addon has functionally i've been wishing for for years. (Had no idea this addon existed until today, you should link to it within the main addon somewhere)
- Popotato
- It works.
- Imtinan Khurshid
- any meaning full task it does is paid dont install if you want to use the freen it will jus bloat your youtube experience
- Ayush P
- Superb! I wish there could be extensions feature for mobile apps too.
- HI Ha
- This is exactly what I was hoping for! It's amazing.
- hale
- it lags a bit when youre searching through liked history but overall its useful and did what it promised (& what i was expecting from it) perfectly
- Samantha Brown
- It's a such fantastic tool that I use every day to arrange my huge list of playlists. This is amazing, so helpful. Thank you!
- Gavin
- a $3 monthly subscription so I can organize my playlists??? have you guys lost your minds or what? I see your replies to other reviews "We need to make money to keep the other aspects free". gtfo of here man. if you think someone should pay 3$ a month or $30 annually you need to reevaluate. Subscriptions have gotten absolutely out of control. Anyways, if you're here looking for an extension that can sort your playlist by duration FOR FREE. I recommend "Youtube Playlist Duration Finder". I just downloaded it and it works great!
- Patrik Jaššo
- SCAM!
- Michael Gritton
- Love it, works really well. I had lots of subscription and it was getting a little crazy. This helped get them organized.
- Bin Ary
- I downloaded this because I wanted to split a playlist into two more specific ones, and would need to mass move a lot of videos to accomplish it. After scrolling through the entire playlist, selecting everything I wanted to be moved, I clicked 'move to playlist'... and was hit with an 'only for patrons'. A paywall that wasn't mentioned anywhere in this description, needlessly wasting the time it took me to select every video. It would not have taken much space and effort to add a simple '*' behind every paywalled feature and an explanation of its existence, to save people the time, effort and disappointment this caused.

- Very autistic & picky with my playlists sorting, & this keeps my sanity in check!
- Adithya Ganesh
- Real cool extension
- Alysha DeShaé Belgard
- It rather disappointing that the one feature I wanted (video duration sort of a playlist) is locked behind a paid subscription that was not previously disclosed. The description of this extension should clearly list which features are actually included in the extension and which require payment. But of course, I imagine most people wouldn't waste their time installing it when the features they actually want aren't something they can test without paying for it - and on ANOTHER site, no less!
- Maria Gilbert
- Finally, order has been restored. Thanks
- nammon srisanong
- good
- Chris Young
- The one thing I wanted this plugin to do is locked behind a paywall. I'm not giving you money.
- k underwood
- Great extension for organizing my subscriptions list. Much appreciated!
- Nicolai Engebretsen
- Thank you! Been using this for a little while now since YouTube removed playlists listing from the left side of the screen in favor of a separate page for it! There is one undesirable interaction with the extension "Unhook - Remove YouTube Recommended & Shorts" : the "Redirect to subscriptions" option in Unhook(which I use) redirects to subscriptions when clicking on playlists on the left menu. Not sure if this is something can be sorted out. Though I would understand if not, since it's another dev/extension. But all-in-all, cheers!
- Sally Zhen
- THIS IS AMAZING!! BEST YOUTUBE EXTENSION EVER, I CAN SEARCH UP VIDEOS AND JUST SELECT THEM TO ADD IT TO MY PLAYLIST?? awesome!!!!!
- Siobhan
- The one feature I was looking for is paywalled. That needs to be in the extension description. I get needing to make money but try not to waste peoples time.
- Tom Spis
- Great set of features, and frequent updates - and definitely worth the monthly fee for Premium service. The only thing missing is a mobile app, like the one that currently exists for syncing subscriptions. Would be great if either a) a new mobile app was created by porting/reusing elements from the existing PocketTube app, or b) playlist management/syncing functionality was added to the existing PocketTube app.
