User reviews

Users appreciate that the extension reliably shows the exact upload date and time of YouTube videos, saving time and aiding use cases like contests and school projects. However, many request customizable date/time formats and timezone display fixes. Some features like support for Shorts and community posts are missing. A few users faced loading or UI access issues. Overall, it is valued but has room for improvements in formatting options and visual design.

Pros

Accurately shows the exact upload date and time of YouTube videos, which is useful for verifying video upload times.
Saves time compared to websites that require URL copying, pasting, and captcha solving.
Simple and works reliably without complicated steps.
Good customer support and responsive development.
Helps in practical situations, such as contest clues or proving video upload dates for school projects.

Cons

Lack of customizable date and time formats; many users want options like Day/Month/Year or Year-Month-Day and 12-hour time with AM/PM.
Shows upload time in local time instead of original upload timezone, causing confusion.
Does not work on YouTube Shorts or community posts as some users expected.
Some users faced issues like a never-ending loading message or no visible icon to access the extension.
Visual design could be improved, including reducing unnecessary blank space and adding a dark mode option.

Works. Essential since youtube likes to manipulate with dates. It will say "1 year ago" for videos that were uploaded 1 year and 11 months ago.
