User reviews

Thoughtfully designed and works better than imagined

Very happy to be using the app. I had infact started building a similar one myself since I wasn’t happy with using a RSS feed reader for YouTube videos. Using the app on Apple TV is a bonus, in addition to using it on phone and iPad.

Response from developer

Thanks! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the app.

Well-designed

I’m comparing Play & Unwatched. Both have great designs and multi-platform support. Play has the edge in native iOS feel. It even has widgets which I love! Unwatched has a few features that make it more usable, though: a queue with the ability to drag and drop videos into a desired order & the ability to search for new videos in an in-app YouTube web view and add them to the queue. If Play could iterate on a few of those concepts, I’d make it my primary app.

Streamline your YouTube videos

As a long-term user of Play I really appreciate the many improvements over time. It’s great to have my YouTube subscriptions synced on all my devices without any interference from YouTube algorithm. Especially with more than one Google account it’s a big time saver to have everything in place in Play.

Thank you so much for the review!

Works great on all Platform

I love this app!
One of my favorites, and the developer is incredibly responsive.

A lot of reviews mention getting sent to YouTube directly, but that's actually just one option. You can watch videos right in the app instead, either inline or by pressing the space bar to open a Quick Look–style popup. This lets me watch what I want and skip the rest. And all the small little details in the app make it a delight to use. ✨

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words, and I'm so glad you noticed all the little details that went into the app.

Very Helpful

The app makes it easy to “transfer” videos from iPhone & iPad over to the Apple TV device. Love it, and I use it every day for 3+ years.
