A great way to access youtube
I’ve been using this app for awhile now and really been enjoying not getting YouTube’s algorithm for what to watch next shoved in my face. Makes for a much more pleasant watching experience.
The latest update now saves playback position when pausing the video which is a game changer.Sim4321

Thank you so much for your review!Great app, but...
This is a well made and useful app, and I'm definitely a fan of the dev (MusicHarbor and MusicBox are FANTASTIC).
But... after reviewing my subscriptions, I realized this is one of the most expensive subscriptions I have and the value add just isn't there imo.
Play is double what I pay yearly for my podcast app, triple the cost of my photo backup app, and only $5 less than the app I use to remotely manage my computer. The functionality gained vs the yearly cost just doesn't make sense (for me).
The one time cost of purchasing the app is well worth it, but I'm opting to let my subscription expire for the time being. I hope to see more features added in the future that justify the subscription cost.Show lessClams Maloney
Can't rave enough.
I can't rave enough about this app. I've moved all of my video consumption to Play on mobile and desktops, because it just does it right. New features added all the time to improve upon something that is already great. I don't really buy many apps or even do subs, but I could not miss this.Shokk
If it weren’t for the greediness
Nebula costs $300 for lifetime to support many good creators on YouTube and migrate viewers away from that ecosystem. What does your $100 lifetime subscription achieve? Perpetuating the toxic environmentTony18919

Why is such an outstanding app so hard to find in the app store?
This app allows you to save and categorize a playlist of web videos for a viewing at later time. It has a great interface and widgets. It is constantly being improved to include more video sources. And one can always copy and paste the web address into Play. I couldn’t be happier with an app.eimbier
Exceptional
This app is exceptional, with apps for all Mac platforms, each perfectly tailored to the respective OS. The developer is talented, responsive to feedback, and iterates regularly. It's a must have for anyone who uses YouTube regularly and I use it every single day. Highly recommended.jhbrd11
Updated: App has improved - has real potential
Stopped using the app within a couple weeks. Decided to try again to see if maybe it was tolerable.
It is. No longer seeing the prompts to upgrade on any of my devices. Thank you.
But still has some deficiencies. I believe most simply fall into the area of better discovery and more transparency - both of which might be addressed by a trial period.
But even with these few issues, the app shows a lot of promise and I applaud the dev for taking on developing an app based on a Google platform - not unlike balancing spinning plates on board a small boat in a tropical storm.Show lessAce.99

The main feature of the app is bookmarking and organizing videos to watch later - it's explicitly highlighted in its name. For a single $2.99 upfront purchase you get this feature and the ability to create tags, smart searches, add notes, star ratings and more. You can also watch supported YouTube videos in-app for a native experience. This purchase also includes native versions of the app for your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, and Apple TV with all the aforementioned features. The subscription-based feature, known as Channels, is an entirely optional addition. I'm promoting it with a discrete banner on the sidebar, which you can easily dismiss and it won't reappear ever again. Claiming that "banners constantly bug you to pay-up" is inaccurate.Can't watch my videos

Added subscription despite having purchased app before
I think it’s really detestable that apps that you pay for can just suddenly add new features behind a (ridiculously priced) subscription.
When you purchase an app there’s an expectation that it will continue to be worked on and improve overtime, and that you wouldn’t have to pay again and again to access those new improvements.
I liked this dev because of MusicHarbor but the added subscription for Play makes me more hesitant to use their apps.Show lessMrDominus7
