2024-03-09	Yipper64	en	Very good app! Its one of the few that tracks actual watch time rather than time spent on the site. Most of these types of apps gives me an issue in that I can often leave my youtube up without watching it, especially in another tap, and that cuts into the time I can spend on the site, even though I wasnt doing anything! This app thankfully fixes that issue. The main problem I have is that certain features promised on the app do not work. The "youtube integration" seems like a great feature, but I see no reason to limit it to five channels, and I would prefer that not be limited. But even as it stands the feature does not work for me at all, even with the five channels. As well as the time intervals. As I understand it these are premium features, but after trying a trail of the premium these features still did not work. I would also like to note that the customer service seems to be limited, I didnt get a response.

2023-12-14	Facundo Zapata	en	"Allowed channels" in Youtube Integration section does not work. Selected channels' videos still make the Watch time tick. Please fix this bug.
2023-06-30	Qwerty David		This extension is great, however there is this problem I keep stumbling into. The schedule feature does not work for me at all. I've been setting a schedule that starts at 9pm and ends at 6am. I should get blocked out of youtube when the hour reaches 9pm, but this never happens. Also, the password protection only works once. I don't know if this is how it's intended to work. but I wish it would always ask for the password for changing any settings at any time, since I tend to always change my limits like 1 minute before I reach the limit. These are my only two critiques.
2022-12-08	Lucas Szybalski		Great Extension. It helps me stay focused on a task and not get sucked into the next intellectually curious fun video. If you don't measure, you don't know. Take the challenge and install it today.
2022-09-29	Ike Bischof		It's very well-made as far as chrome extensions go. The new side bar while you're watching is a big help. There are lots of features and customization options. It introduced me to the Pomodoro technique. It works on all major platforms, like YouTube, Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, etc. It would be nice to be able to specify which platforms are timed or not timed, but one work-around could be to use different chrome profiles for each platform (one for YouTube, one for Netflix, etc)
2022-07-26	Armando Jimenez		This is really helpful! Now I know how much time I waste on the internet watching videos 🥲
2022-07-14	Suvojit		Helped me stop loosing hours to the YouTube rabbit hole ! Plus you can keep music running in the background without the limiter, if you listen to music on YT.
2022-07-12	Marc Lou		You don't know how long you're mindlessly surfing the internet. Now you do.
2022-07-11	Iain Cambridge		A great little extension. This helps me realise how much time I'm spending on YouTube without being too in your face.
