Excellent
Multiple glitches, doesn’t work as expected, not worth the buy
I downloaded this app to get around annoying ad breaks. The PiP shuts down the app. Videos load with 4 second delay and often lose sound, app enlarges YT so some of the controls are cut off at the top of the video, app automatically opens random videos without selecting them. So many glitches, don’t buy.

Thank you for your comment. We’d like to clarify a few points that may help you better understand how the app works 👇 We tried to reproduce what you mentioned, and based on our testing, we were unable to replicate the behaviors you described. It seems that the issue may be that the required actions to activate the features weren’t performed. Below, we explain how to use them correctly. Our app currently offers two playback modes: ⸻ 1️⃣ Main Playback Mode As soon as you open the app, you can search for and play any video with advanced features such as PIP mode (floating window), background playback, sleep timer, and many more. In this mode, videos do not autoplay and are always viewed ad-free. First, you need to activate floating playback by following these steps: – FLOATING PLAYBACK (PIP MODE) 1️⃣ Enter full screen and tap the PIP button (second icon in the top-left corner). 2️⃣ The video will shrink into a floating window inside FyTube. 3️⃣ Swipe up from the bottom to leave the FyTube app — the video will remain visible. 4️⃣ Done! Floating mode is active, and you can use any app while your video continues playing on top of the screen. – BACKGROUND / LOCKED SCREEN PLAYBACK 1️⃣ Activate floating mode. 2️⃣ With the video floating over your apps, lock your screen. 3️⃣ Done! The audio will continue playing in the background. If you need help with this or any other point, please send us a screenshot to 📩 info@fydub.com ⸻ 2️⃣ Alternative Player This player also provides a 100% ad-free experience, but it is designed for faster navigation, which is why videos autoplay as you scroll. We appreciate your comment and truly value that you shared it. We have already forwarded this observation to our development team so they can evaluate the best way to improve the experience and address what you consider an inconvenience. We’re excited to introduce 🚀 FyTube 3.1 — the ad-free YouTube experience you already love, now even better! ✨ What’s new: • New PIP Mode (Picture-in-Picture): watch videos in a floating window while using other apps. • Background playback: listen with the screen locked or while multitasking. • Sleep Timer: perfect for falling asleep to music or podcasts — the video stops automatically. • Auto Repeat: loop your favorite videos. • VoiceOver improvements: better accessibility for visually impaired users. • Smart Search with auto suggestions: find videos faster. • Video History: rewatch videos you’ve already seen, search by title or date, and delete by swiping left. • Alternative player: accessible from the top-right corner of the search view (you can even sign in with your YouTube account!). • And best of all: FyTube remains 100% ad-free. 🙌 We hope you’ll consider updating your rating after reviewing all of this — it would help us tremendously if you could verify and confirm that everything works correctly. Your feedback motivates our team to keep improving so you can enjoy your videos without ads. Thank you for being part of the FyTube community!

Hello! Honestly, we don’t fully understand your feedback, as you don’t explain what exactly is wrong with the app. Calling it “trash” without specifying any real UI (User Interface) or UX (User Experience) issues doesn’t help us identify or improve anything specific. We’d like to clarify something important: every app available on the App Store goes through rigorous review processes by Apple engineers. If an app has real UI or UX issues, it simply does not get approved. FyTube was created in 2022, and since then, we have added many new features. Every single update and new functionality has been reviewed and approved by Apple. For this reason, your comment is confusing and gives the impression that it is not based on a real experience with the app, but rather to promote another application, without providing any real context, explaining any real issues or concerns about ours. We completely understand what you are mentioning, so we’d like to clearly explain how FyTube works and what it offers: FyTube provides 2 ad-free players to watch videos: 1️⃣ FyTube Native Player Available when you select any video from the search view after installing FyTube. You can search for and watch any video without ads. (You cannot sign in to YouTube in this player.) 2️⃣ Alternative Player Accessible by tapping the Alternative Player button at the top of the search view. With this player, you can: Watch videos without ads Sign in Like videos Comment Access your playlists View your subscriptions All of this is 100% ad-free. Additionally, FyTube 3.1 includes the following features: ✨ Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode: watch videos in a floating window while using other apps 🎧 Background playback (even with the screen locked) 😴 Sleep timer 🔁 Auto-repeat 🦮 Accessibility improvements (VoiceOver) 🔍 Smart search with automatic suggestions 🕓 Video history with the option to delete it anytime We have thousands of satisfied users enjoying all these features daily. If there was any misunderstanding, we kindly invite you to read the full app description, where everything is clearly explained. We also encourage you to try these improvements and enjoy a smoother and more stable experience. 📩 If you truly encountered an issue, please email us at info@fydub.com with a screenshot or a video of the problem. We’ll be happy to help you step by step. We hope that after learning more about how FyTube works, you’ll reconsider your rating. Thank you for being part of the FyTube community ✨ — FyTube Team
