It could have been good.

The plugin was great for my needs at first, but about a week ago it started publishing content on its own that isn’t mine, and that I definitely don’t want on my website at all. I removed the plugin quite quickly and found an alternative.

This is a simple plugin that gives us exactly what we wanted. It’s easy to setup and use. It saves extra steps by posting our YouTube videos to our website automatically. Works just as stated.
Exactly what I needed!

Easy to just sync videos in bulk, really love the flexibility and the automated import that runs in the background and gets my new videos on the site

Ok, originally wasn’t working in trial mode but I got it working now so revising my review. Looks pretty good, I assume I can import the video description & tags with the Pro Version? Would be a great feature for SEO.
