Comments and Reviews
I am glad that is working and open source. I would not go and call it "Freemium". It's just time trial, which gives you about 5-10 min of uninterrupted usage.
I'm not sure why you would pay for a freemium app on a technically freemium service.s
Nagware. Not great. Convoluted interface. Won't play HiRes, freezes. Not worth the price of admission.
Crap and do you know what, i am fed up with these programs saying and looking like they are free when they are not but only free for 30 days sick to death with having to uninstall this junk
... with stopping video watching and popping up a dialog. This is not at all what I expect from a free application. (I tried on Windows 7)
It is only free for Linux OS. For Windows and Mac you have to buy although the author allows try out.
I'm willing to pay for it. It offers a better way to watch Youtube.
