Boaz Thanesh (ID: 0000003981fea655) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/22/2023 simple, works, does what it needs to! no need for bells and whistles: speed controls for shorts and let's me seek 10/10.

icon

Vyacheslav K (ID: 000000441f56ebdc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/21/2023 Pretty good. Please also add bind the rewind option to the arrow buttons.

icon

Shaun Diz (ID: 00000027481ac2d6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/10/2023 Super simple. Like that the interface is so simple. Perfect for what I was looking for (being able to fast forward and rewind rather than having to replay the shorts)

Austin Miller (ID: 0000002837bbf66b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/21/2023 Should be part of YT shorts by default.

Harz (ID: 00000015c23fbf6b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/19/2023 Could use a bit of work on the interface and changeable button prompts, but it works and this is all I need.
