Reviews & Comments of YiNote chrome extension

Very helpful for students. And the developers are so generous. It's free which is important for a student. Great extension.

Great but has 2 major issues: 1. it covers the controls so you can't modify speed. 2. it covers 'skip ads' button so you can't skip ads. 3. you can't easily collapse it to access controls below.

This extension is pretty good, but the extension side bar keeps display and can not hide it. it drives me crazy, hopefully the developer can solve it as soon as possible,Appreciate your effort.

It opens up yinote management window in another tab upon clicking. The notes don't work, please advise.

It's a good app but still hard to use. There are many issues on github. Please have a look and give us a feedback for the problems.

Seems ok, but almost all the features are missing to me. Is that due to the react rewrite?

Amazing idea. I hope I can get it to work properly. It won't export to Evernote and the time stamps just bring me to youtube. It's a little frustrating.

This is extremely useful for me to take the time to pick up random facts to memorize later on! The feature of markdown is incredible imo! Keep it up.

Would be good but has to simple things that make it literally useless to me. One the option to export to markdown creates .md file but this file actually has everything commented out so if I want to use it I need to manually uncomment everything. Second, Why the heck is there no option to copy markdown to clipboard? I wanna use this to take video notes and move them into a sperate notetaking app. Needing to save it to a separate file, open that file, select all, copy, and then paste into my notetaking app is a massive hassle. Plus as mentioned above I need to remove the comments. Also an option to copy markdown to clipboard should also be available on the actual youtube video page without needing to go to a new tab

love it

I cannot open it. it takes me to the setting page when i click on it . what should i do?

very nice

A great extension, easy to learn, simple to use, clean interface, does the job it was designed for. One point of friction: currently getting the 'This app has not been verified yet by Google' when trying to export to Google Docs.

It looks like a wonderful extenction. I would have given 5 stars but for a the fact that I am not able to send the notes to google docs (which is a problem for me): it says "Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app - This app has not been verified yet by Google in order to use Google Sign In." It would be great if this can be solved.

creating a note without comment, could be more useful for some people like me I think. but generally, great app.

I mean, it kicks me from youtube to the website...so I can't even bookmark anything. Also the how to use section explains nothing on how to actually use the app. Simple fix that has been stated already....I'm a programmer, I could understand issues like the app kicking me on youtube because that's more of an issue you need to solve. But not providing instructions is ridiculous. I already deleted the extension, after 3 minutes. I assumed I was just not understanding how it worked which is frustrating. Even more frustrating to find out that it just wasn't working properly. But I might have kept it and given it more time after notifying you of this had I known it wasn't a user issue.

Absolutely love the extension. Amazing for research and the developer is actively working towards solving issues and improving the extension. - He has added some incredible features, like exporting to google docs and other services. - He has added markdown support. - Annotation over images! Overall this is the best app for not taking with youtube, and even works on other video streaming services. I am amazed! Thank you!

This extension is useless for anything other than taking notes during videos. It wouldn't have been difficult to simply add a timer mode and allow you to take notes for a ton more applications. As it stands, this extension is niche and useless for anyone who wants something with flexibility and functionality in multiple areas. Feels lazy, don't use it.

it was actually a great extension, but the important sections like Notes are not available on Netflix!

Incredibly good idea. :)

Would love to give this 5 stars but it is lacking is several areas. 1. Developer did not put much effort at all into instructions. As most of this is pretty self explanatory, when seeking help in some places, I find only some animated gif screen recording of the mouse moving around and clicking without really giving instruction as to what is going on. It's as if the developer went "Okay it's done... now for the instructions... ah screw it... I'll take some screenshots and get pushed out to the unsuspecting public by 9pm. Who cares?" 2. Seems to have a limit for storage with no way to export or save data in order to continue. So once used to a point, it becomes useless after that unless you delete your work thus far. 3. Missing a category setup. Once so much is saved, it's hard to keep track of what bookmarks are in conjunction with what topics you are taking notes about. 4. The transcript feature does nothing. Just shows a spinning loading icon. I assumed it just takes a while to load so started it, ate dinner, came back and still spinning. No idea what it even does really due to very poor gif instructions that literally tell you nothing. 5. By the time you have taken a note about something in a video, the note is pretty much after the part you were taking a note about. So keep having to backtrack on every note in order to make sure the timestamp is in the right place. Makes taking notes EXTREMELY slow and monotonous. There should be a button to timestamp the note before even finishing the note so you can mark the part of the video that is actually talking about that note's topic.. I could think of many more but the fact is... this extension seemed to be a god-sent at first and exactly what I was looking for... until after using it and then discovering that it really is just making things more complicated. It needs a ton of work and ESPECIALLY some kind of method to extend memory, export, or save it at the very least. Otherwise it just becomes more worthless the more you use it. It's like buying a bottle of pills that make you skinny but once you have taken the last pill, all the fat instantly reappears and then some. All of your effort and work is just thrown out the window and the pill bottle says "well, wasn't that fun? Sorry it can't last!"

I can't export my notes to Evernote. It said "Failed to export notes to EverNote" in red. Please help or fix.

Great product! It's so convenient to take notes.

Deep gratitude for this invaluable tool. I use it every single day for learning web developement via YouTube. Would really love to know where the database files are kept on Mac as I'm planning on doing a fresh re-install and really don't want to lose a year of notes. Any help from anyone would be much appreciated.

Greatest tool compared to other ones! I have reached the limit of the free synched data, hopefully the cloud option will be available soon!

Extremely amazing tool!

This is a great extension but it needs cloud support so that the same notes with open on different computers no matter where you are at. I think this is key to making this a highly popular download. When can we expect cloud support???

Great App for online learning via YouTube.

When is accessed in other computer, the shared notes not work (empty notes), please fix this issue! But, after all it's amazing extension.

Brilliant app, but dev, can you please port it to Firefox as well? Should be very easy as it supports WebExtensions now. Check this for more info: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-store-foxified/

I love this extension and so far it has been working great! It even works when YouTube is actually part of different website! Thank you wonderful developers!

It's an amazing learning tool. I was thinking of writing something similar myself when I found it. You've done a much better job than I'd ever have time for. So many features! I'll tell everyone about it

I love the concept, but unfortunately it's not working for me. When I try and create a note I always get the message : "Please take note after video started or ads finished." even after the video has been started.

Been using this extension for a few hours now. Very impressed. Indispensable if you watch videos and want to take extensive, time-framed notes and automatically generate screen shots associated with the video. Worthy of donations.

It won't let you bookmark any videos that have to do with exposing the Clintons, so I uninstalled it,as I'm not into others making decisions for me.

So far so good.

This is a great tool.

I can't believe that this is there is only one extension of this kind that is available after so many years of youtube. Good job! Maybe it'd be a good idea to let us link notes to a time in the video that is few seconds before when we start/finishing typing the notes?

easy used the app

This has saved my life.

Just awesome thanks a lot, man.

It's a dream come true!!! Thank you so much for building this, and its got potencial to be a one of a kind utility, it's in the beginning stages and you already add the Evernote feature, it's like you read my mind! Thank you again and all the success to you!

This is a great app and it really meet my needs.

Fantastic extension, will help so much in taking down important notes and bookmarking how to do and information videos. Thank you.

perfect mind! That is what I need.

Thank you.. sooooo... veryyyyyy much.. for create this extension

Very neat app that is very useful especially for taking online courses. Clean and simple presentation and no ads. Great work!

Amazing work!

It is an amazing extension can support TED and Netflix videos. The note search functionality is also great.
