No buffering, lag or poor audio. Perfect. Thank you for letting me use my old devices with ease:) ### 5/5 — This needs a fix for Dynamic Island it pauses and you have to unpause it. *2024-03-28* When you swipe up to go home and it goes into dynamic island, you have to play the video again before the video goes away and you can’t Unpause the video it would be nice if it were just like Video Lite when you swipe up in the video continues to play no matter what in Dynamic Island like it works perfectly in the video light app needs a fix for Dynamic Island other than that great app ### 2/5 — Well done! *2024-01-27* It was okay when I first installed it but videos kept playing automatically whenever I stopped scrolling , it was annoying . Seems like the developer might have read my feedback and fixed it. It’s perfect now. ### 5/5 — Only 1 problem there’s a constant ad in the center I can’t get rid of *2024-01-23* Needs a major fix you should just put it as a banner at the bottom of the screen or get rid of it entirely because it’s annoying that I can’t get rid of it at all ### 4/5 — Hattan *2023-07-28* Hattann ### 5/5 — Can you fix this thing *2023-06-29* Can you get rid of the top and bottom buttons and the top search bar because it just ends up crashing The app and even when it doesn't crash the app when you try to search for something on the Internet it doesn't work so could you please just get rid of the top weight search bar because it doesn't even search the Internet it doesn't work at all not only that but would you be able to remove the bottom part of the app as well The big black bar that says Browser playlist in settings and move that to the actual YouTube settings profile icon it doesn't need that big ugly red bar on the top and the bottom to reload the page and just in general at the top of the app that could be removed also if you could remove the black bar at the bottom that says Browser playlist and settings inside the app that would be great thanks it would be great if the app could just be all black and you don't need those red bars on the top of the bottom or the Browser playlist and settings icons in the black part at the very bottom of the display in the app that would be great thanks if you could remove those and just put everything in the icon profile so you can do settings that way ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-06-29* Great app ### 5/5 — Perfect *2023-02-23, version 2.41* Perfect ### 5/5 — Can you fix 6 things? *2023-02-05* 1 it needs a rotation in the full app and 2 the app just in general wont rotate the video into full screen and 3 there’s no pinch to zoom into the video once it’s in landscape 4 there’s no notification icon after you subscribe I would love to get notifications for new videos once the person you are subscribe to post a new video thanx 5 would you be able to add the option to get rid of the red bar at the top so that you can’t see the notch or pill shape on your iPhone that would be great thanx 6 would you be able to support higher resolutions as 1080P/1440P/2160P please that would be awesome. 720P is not enough especially since we’re in 2023 already that’s like 2010 resolution for YouTube right there we’re in 2023 not 2010 anymore other than those fixes that you have to fix great app ### 5/5 — Tüteeprütenbaerenzombawwetsutneisqjdkkjdkdkjdjikdkkdjjddkkdkodjd *2022-12-24* hdujdkf in fjkkvvfkbfkjbxlkflpflpdp ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Confusing and won’t function at all without your private info *2026-01-17, version 2.51* This app offers absolutely 0 guide or tutorial on how to use it. I have no idea how it’s supposed to work or what I’m supposed to be able to do. I suppose the problem is that I don’t want to give this app my YouTube login so it just straight up won’t let me do anything at all. But that’s so stupid, why isn’t there any way to use it without a login? Why can’t I just paste video links or something into the app to build the playlists instead of having to fork over my private information? So sketchy and such a waste of time ### 1/5 — What’s the point *2025-12-18* Can’t actually use any buttons after having a song play including the search. So you have to close app and reopen. ### 1/5 — Worst app I have EVER USED *2025-06-10* This is literally the worst app I have ever used. It’s glitchy and terrible, if I could give 0 stars I would. Waste your time somewhere else ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with screen off *2025-02-21* Literally what is the point of this app without being able to listen while the screen is turned off? ### 1/5 — What’s the point *2024-12-17* Can’t currently close or move pop up adds meaning cant see anything. ### 1/5 — As a true background player *2024-11-23, version 2.50* I have not seen it play solidly as a "background " youtube video player yet. So far as a PIP player only. New to the app. I'm open for comments. ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2024-03-16* I can’t get to my YouTube playlists now. It worked ok at first but now I have no icons at the bottom to select anything! ### 1/5 — No background play *2021-11-22* You might as well just use the actual YouTube ### 1/5 — Background play doesn’t work *2020-07-31* Whole reason I downloaded it ### 1/5 — False advertising *2020-05-19* Descriptions says 100% free no ads when video playing and background play to play music with app minimised. Neither of which are true. I’ve had 2 ads play during a video. Playlists don’t work as I keep getting unsupported url errors. And as soon as I close the app the music stops too. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ✨Gratidão ✨ *2026-08-21* Gratidão ✨🌷🐝💕🎼🙏🏻✨Great with IOSNine yet ✨Amazing ✨Blessing ✨ ### 5/5 — No Ads *2026-04-10* Free from Ads ### 5/5 — Only Update I want you guys to do *2026-03-17* Instead of having Skip forward 10 seconds or backwards 10 seconds while on the lock screen, can we have an option to turn back the playlist button while watching a playlist or listening to a playlist in the background or a podcast or whatever it may be if it’s in a playlist with just the arrow for four and back that would be great thanks there’s no way to select that or have that as default that would be great thanks ### 5/5 — YouTube shot *2025-09-21, version 2.50* YouTube ### 5/5 — It’s not bad *2025-08-14* I like this app it is actually pretty good. You should try it low-key. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-02-08* Perfect ### 5/5 — Needs 2 fixes *2024-11-10* #1 can you move the player icons from the center of the screen in fullscreen and portrait to the bottom of the screen that would be great thanks #2 would you be able to update it so when we go to the settings option at the very bottom right when we turn off the toggle, the only toggle in there that goes from green to off we can go back to the old webpage version, and it stays there. It doesn’t automatically turn the new one back on other than that great app ### 5/5 — Needs 2 fixes *2024-08-14* #1 can you move the player icons from the center of the screen in fullscreen and portrait to the bottom of the screen that would be great thanks #2 would you be able to update it so when we turn our phone sideways, we don’t have to tap that little square on the bottom right corner we can tilted whatever way to the right or left and it will automatically go into fullscreen view please thanx #3 one bonus one would you be able to fix dynamic island support when you swipe up to view the video it just stops the video because it doesn’t go into dynamic Island needs major fix other than that Great app. ### 5/5 — Speichern *2024-08-03* Videos hin tun ### 5/5 — Needs a huge update 2 fix Dynamic Island support *2024-04-18* When I swipe up the video goes into Dynamic Island then stops playing and when I lock the screen and. Play it from the LockScreen it will play but if I don’t it goes away on the LockScreen right away I should just work no matter what both end dynamic and day and the lock screen after being locked and after swiping up into dynamic island needs a huge fix it used to work, but it doesn’t anymore needs a major updateto fix this plz thanx --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
