Review Summary
YouTube Aspect Ratio Control is widely praised for effectively fixing aspect ratio issues, especially for 4:3 and ultrawide videos, with many users noting its reliability and usefulness over time. However, common complaints include the lack of custom ratio inputs, occasional functional issues requiring reloads, limited instructions, and certain compatibility problems like non-functionality in split screen mode or after updates. Users appreciate its ability to prevent stretching and black bars, though improvements like custom zoom and reset options would enhance usability.
