User reviews

Работает отлично спасибо, особенно понравилась опцию скрыть название и информацию о канале. Еще бы добавить опцию пропустить видео с наименьшим количеством лайков и просмотров.

Seems to work great, just like yt shorts should have been from the start. Stopping infinite loop is a awesome option... really hate infinite looping
