Do not download it! ### 2/5 — Ads ?? (really….!?) Come on homies, re write This ad free. *2023-12-19* Remove ads please . Hey get money making some other app. Like how you going go not charge for android apk. I’m a new iOS iPhone user and honestly it is so so but in reality it’s crap ### 1/5 — Esta app es una estafa *2023-12-15* Esta app no sirve ni siquiera pude escuchar una sola canción aqui ### 1/5 — SCAM Fake App *2023-08-16* Fraudulently used name and logo. Not like android app ### 1/5 — Fake app *2023-08-04* Fake app, not the real Newpipe. ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-07-21* Not the original. Be careful. ### 1/5 — Not the real newpipe. Full of ads. *2023-07-12* Not the real newpipe. Full of ads. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Heats up my iPhone *2024-12-06* I had this app on my Pixel and it was wonderful, but now I migrated to iPhone 11 and downloaded this app and playing just a single video makes my iPhone unbearably hot :( ### 1/5 — Not the real NewPipe *2024-11-29* Stolen logo and app name to trick users. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2024-11-06* What is the point of playlist then it just plays its queue playlist. Everytime you remove song from queue playlist, it appears again next time you open it. Waste money ### 1/5 — At least the ads work perfectly. *2024-10-17* None of the songs I search actually play. It skips to the next song (which the app chose itself) and that doesn't play either. ### 1/5 — FAKE APP *2024-10-15* The REAL “NewPipe” is an open source app that acts as a front-end to YouTube to preserve user privacy (search it up online yourself to see). But it is only available on Android. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS. Anybody who would steal a name, logo, etc like this and create a fake app is not worth your trust. ### 1/5 — Trouble *2024-09-23* Why is it that when I search for songs or albums they don’t load at all ? I paid 19.99 and if so why is it that I cannot access albums or artists ? Someone needs to fix this issue because I have YouTube and even though there are commercials I’ve never encountered as many issues as I am with you guys . ### 1/5 — Fake and inferior app *2024-09-07* This isn’t the real Newpipe. Newpipe is free software that removes ads and lets you download audio/video from YouTube. I’d suggest you grab the APK from the legit Newpipe site or use yt-dlp for desktop. ### 1/5 — iPhone user *2024-08-10* app didn’t work at all it was just showing the app logo ### 1/5 — Download button? *2024-07-03* Seriously where is it ### 1/5 — Muy mala *2024-03-16* Es una mala app, dice que no tiene anuncios pero no pasaron ni dos minutos de que lo instale y ya me salió uno, pongo una canción y apenas abro la app otro anuncio. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Way better than YouTube *2024-10-25* Way better than YouTube ### 5/5 — Love it.!!!! *2024-06-04* Great.!! ### 5/5 — Great *2024-05-31* Plays over other apps and has good song recommendations. ### 5/5 — Best app❤️ *2024-05-24* Love this app❤️ ### 5/5 — Johnatan *2023-07-16* Fantaboulos!! ### 4/5 — Fraud!!! Don't purchase it *2024-09-25* Do not purchase. It stopped working after I upgraded for $19.99. I doesn’t even play a song right now and it has been only a month since I purchased. Waste of money! ### 3/5 — Idea is great but *2023-11-17* Current version isn’t working. It says it is updating then ends up with a spinny wheel display indefinitely. ### 2/5 — album player literally doesnt work?? *2024-11-24* Is this just me?? When i click on an album and press “play” it just crashes?? ### 2/5 — Suddenly can’t listen to music *2024-10-09* Today, I opened the app to listen to some music. But I’m suddenly getting this message: Failed to load video, playing next tracks. It did this for every single song I played. I don’t know what’s going on, I don’t know if this is happening because I don’t pay for the app. I don’t want to pay for the app and have it do the same thing. Developers, please help me with this! This has never happened to me before, please help! ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2024-06-20* This app while useful is busting with ads , every 5 seconds another ad seems to open up --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
