- (2025-06-26) 謝昀佑: After reversing, it doesn't automatically play the next video.
- (2025-06-01) Tina Danielsson: Works great for what I was looking for - reversing my current queue 💯 But as others have said, it doesn't work when you just view a playlist. I suggest renaming the extension to properly indicate what it actually does 😊
- (2025-05-07) Lila Nedaria: Works like a charm
- (2025-04-30) Codrin Dumitrescu: Fun extension concept and appears to be doing what it's supposed to, but I happen to have a playlist with 470 videos in it and it only reverses 200 of them. I don't know if this is a limitation imposed by YouTube or if the extension cannot handle reversing more than 200 videos. The "R" button also appears to only appear sometimes after I refresh the page, I don't entirely know what that's about.
- (2025-04-16) Renan Carvalho: That works perfectly
- (2025-04-13) Alex Shlepa: Very useful for watching a series where the creator puts their newest videos first on the playlist
- (2025-03-16) Teja P: kinda a useless extension with only limited use cases. So i got this extension this is would reverse the playlist (which some extensions do) but all it does it only reverses the QUEUE. So that means you cant just simply go to a playlist and click reverse You have to go a PlayList, click PLAY ALL which takes you to a queue and click the R button. This is not the worst part either, the R button ONLY reverses Top 200 videos in the QUEUE. That means your playlist has more than 200 videos this is even more useless.
- (2025-03-07) Stjepan Sejic: it just works. make sure to refresh the site once you get it it adds a third option on the playlist, R
- (2025-01-25) DigitalBear: Worked for the playlist I needed it to work for. TY
- (2025-01-24) Joiless O: Does what it's supposed to do, most of the time. Sometimes it will reverse a playlist whether I told it to or not; sometimes it'll just not work for no apparent reason. But most of the time, I get to listen to podcasts from oldest to newest which is exactly what I wanted it for.
- (2025-01-17) Ryan Hart: Amazing! It does exactly what YouTube should have let us do ourselves in the first place because half of content creators seem to organize their playlists in the opposite order than makes sense, it seems.
- (2025-01-11) Hitch Geek: Precisely what I was looking for. Sorry, mate I would "buy you a coffee", but it virtually impossible to do from Russia.
- (2025-01-09) Boston Fitzpatrick: great works perfectly and had no issues, just install and refresh page and it worked
- (2025-01-03) Çağlar Bingöl: Not All Heroes Wear Capes
- (2024-12-28) Adrien: Does what youtube should have done a long time before. Reverse the order of a playlist when you want it to be sorted from old to new and follow a chronological order. Thanks
- (2024-12-22) แงวร้องหมาวๆ: works
- (2024-12-04) Alexander Wolf: Works great. Thanks!
- (2024-12-01) Sam Middleby: exactly what I was looking for, works perfectly on Brave and chrome Thanks a million Dev!
- (2024-11-29) Paul Orr: This has been very handy with playlists and thank you for it. I am wondering, though, does it have a limitation of how many items the playlist can have?
- (2024-11-08) Easy Skanking: Doesn't work at all on Vivaldi 7.0.3495.11.
- (2024-11-02) Tan: little buggy but still works. The Website suddenly loaded slower, "R" logo suddenly gone missing after playlist reversed.
- (2024-11-01) Vinay Kumar: works great
- (2024-10-17) Diamond Creeper: Works as intended. Much obliged.
- (2024-10-15) KrazyKatLady: doesn't work
- (2024-10-10) Asif Mahmud: This works perfectly.
- (2024-10-08) Sam Durk: Yaaay!!! Why is this not a default feature in 2024? Blows my mind but thankfully have ace people making extensions like this to save us. Giant thank you and worked perfectly for me so highly recommend.
- (2024-09-28) Peter Duff: What you see is what you get, except for its review score. It should be significantly higher.
- (2024-09-14) Kaelan Plays: Does exactly as is says it does
- (2024-09-10) R. Kvingedal: Does what it says on the tin. Been looking for an extension like this.
- (2024-09-10) Mrdavidlinbar: Now it is workable.
- (2024-08-30) Chantelle Brown: So grateful for this. I can finally play workout playlists in proper order.
- (2024-08-23) Goblin Slayer: in current version works exactly as intended (as of 23.08.2024), ignore the reviews that say otherwise written before this one
- (2024-08-22) amicable aggressor: currently working as intended
- (2024-04-24) Vinícius de Brito Bezerra (Vinix): Do you know the concept of a false choice? It appears as though you have a choice, but ultimately, it leads to the same outcome. This extension embodies the pure concept of a false choice. It appears as though you have the freedom to reverse the order of a playlist (because unfortunately, 99.9% of YouTubers don't know how to organize a playlist in chronological order), but soon you realize it is nothing more than a purely aesthetic change. The playlist will still automatically follow the original order, but instead of going from top to bottom, it will go from bottom to top, which is exactly the same thing. It's purely an aesthetic change and not really useful.
- (2024-04-13) Ryan Morris: Does what it's supposed to do for the most part, but can only reverse the first 200 videos in a playlist, & doesn't show the rest. Pretty cool extension though!
- (2024-03-27) noxteryn: Doesn't work.
- (2024-03-24) C Miller: Didn't do the one thing it is supposed to do. At first it only made the playlist look like it was reversed and when the new "first video" was done it started the original first video instead of proceeding down the reversed list. When I tried starting with a video lower down the list, it seemed to work once. When I tried it again it went back to not playing in reverse order. After deselecting and reselecting the reverse function it then refused to jump to ANY video after the one playing was done. Then I noticed it had messed up the playlist and it looked like the list was doubled, repeating sections of videos above it, including doubling the YT notice that some videos in the list were hidden. That's when I uninstalled it. It is incredibly frustrating trying to find a playlist reverser that actually works. Youtube could easily fix this by adding back the reverse function they used to have, but they seem stubborn in never putting it back.
- (2024-02-17) Cyril Deschamps (Metabeen): Not working. Visually reversing, but when it plays it's not playing backward.
- (2024-01-05) Michael Lovins (UnfortunateGod): Nope. Flips the order you see the playlist in, but doesn't flip the order the vids play.
- (2024-01-01) Colton Breyer: It looks like its broken again, it flips the playlist but autoplay still goes in unflipped order. Same with hitting Shift + N to go to the next video. An update would be fantastic.
- (2023-11-11) István Szabó: It reverses the playlist in the window, but the next video is not from the playlist.

- (2023-11-01) Александр Андросов: 0.0.3 не работает. При воспроизведении следующего видео реверс сбрасывается.
- (2023-10-31) 0ryza _: Works amazing. Queued up a playlist that was in reverse order of how I wanted it, clicked the R next to the shuffle button, and suddenly it's in the right order! My only wish is that it was on Firefox too.

- (2023-10-21) De: It appears to work, but then doesn't. When you load up a playlist the icon is present. You click it, it does indeed reverse the list, however, when your video is over, and it goes to the next video, the order is set back to normal. Meaning you have to keep clicking the R icon after every video if you want a playlist to play correctly, kinda a pain.
