Then a new update removed pip, watching while screen locked/ in background, and the ability to remove shorts. The main reasons why I downloaded this app. Please fix! ### 3/5 — Great app, wish some things could change *2026-10-11, version 1.4.2* I love using this app. Love it so much ever since YouTube got more pushy with its ads. However, it’s really annoying how you can’t edit any playlists or use the app to AirPlay to your tv. I don’t want to keep using YouTube just to edit my playlists. But if you just want a simple, as free YouTube, by all means get this app ### 4/5 — 9.5/10! *2026-10-11, version 1.4.2* this app is absolutely wonderful! i’ve been using it for a few months now, and i’ve put multiple other people on it too. my main complaint is that the shuffle feature doesn’t work on playlists, and occasionally the audio will be completely gone from any given video and i’ll have to restart the app to get it to work again. other than those little things, this app is practically perfect :3 ### 2/5 — Didn’t play in background anymore 🥲 *2026-10-10, version 1.4.2* Since the update it doesn’t play in the background anymore… that’s why I was using the app… It even stops when I open the Notification Center 💀 ### 2/5 — Update Broke the Best Feature *2026-10-09, version 1.4.2* This app was great but the latest update ruined the point of it. You can no longer have videos running off the app or while your phone is asleep. At this point it’s no more than a browser with an ad blocker. ### 4/5 — La app es mejor *2026-10-09, version 1.4.2* Es la mejor sin anuncios, pero lástima la actualización hizo que ya no se puede reproducir en segundo plano y si apagas la pantalla deja de reproducir también ### 2/5 — Bugs *2026-10-09, version 1.4.2* I can no longer play stuff in the background, and I don’t want to see YouTube shorts on my ProTube page, if you could bring back the option to turn those back off and fix the videos so they play when the app is closed again I’d really appreciate it. This app is genuinely really nice and I hope to keep using it. ### 2/5 — Getting worse over time *2026-10-07, version 1.4.2* Just got this a couple weeks ago and it started out great. They have removed features (background play, pip, and shorts remover) in the last few days with no mention of it in the patch notes. ### 4/5 — Works Good But some Bugs *2026-10-07, version 1.4.2* The app works just fine. You get no ads which is great. The only issue I’m having is it doesn’t allow you to play videos in the background anymore. I hope this can be fixed soon. But other than that app works just fine. ### 4/5 — hi *2026-10-07, version 1.4.1* This app has too many bugs. The developers should use it on their own iPhones and review it themselves. ### 1/5 — Background play *2026-10-06, version 1.4.1* The sole reason for using the app has been removed. ### 2/5 — New update is not a “performance enhancement” it’s a downgrade *2026-10-06, version 1.4.1* Where did the in pictures, background play, and air play go? Only reason to even have this app was for the YouTube premium features without the actual YouTube premium and cause it didn’t cost any money ### 1/5 — Trash app *2026-10-06, version 1.4.1* No background play ### 1/5 — A BOT ???? *2026-10-06, version 1.4.1* Why are you forcing me to login while using hotel’s wifi? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-10-13, version 1.4.2* I can no longer background play videos. Listen to your consumers, this is a common sentiment and your genuinely stupid if you’re not trying to fix this ### 1/5 — Stopped working in the background *2026-10-12, version 1.4.2* It was working great before latest update. Now it's broken. Can't play anything in the background. ### 1/5 — Please Fix! Last update broke it! No more shorts remover or PiP! *2026-10-09, version 1.4.2* The app no longer has PiP or ability to remove YouTube Shorts so no longer fulfills its primary need or purpose. I wish I could go back to the former version which was great. There was no mention of this in the patch notes else I would not have updated. Please fix!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t play the video when swiping *2026-10-09, version 1.4.2* Since the latest update im not able to play my video while not being on the app im not sure why they took this feature out but its horrible ### 1/5 — Removed Features *2026-10-09, version 1.4.2* They have removed PiP player and background play 👎 Useless app at this point ### 1/5 — Latest update broke it *2026-10-07, version 1.4.2* Great app usually, but latest update must have broken something. Can no longer watch anything without signing in. ### 1/5 — Ad block only on wifi 👎 *2026-10-07, version 1.4.2* App still has ads when using mobile data ### 1/5 — Was great till it wasn’t *2026-10-06, version 1.4.1* Um, no more background play all of a sudden? The hell? It was wonderful- didn’t need changed, then you went and messed it up, now I can’t watch videos while I play mobile games..trash app until fixed, don’t download it! ### 1/5 — Update or bug ruined a great app *2026-10-06, version 1.4.1* This app used to be great. You could watch YouTube videos, lock your phone and they would keep playing. A recent update or bug has totally stopped the ability to do this. Used to be a 5 star now I’ve given it 1 as that’s the whole reason I used it. ### 1/5 — Was great until the last update *2026-10-06, version 1.4.1* The pop out player was removed and background play was as well. Terrible update ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — perfect *2026-10-09, version 1.4.2* No ads, a little bit clunky but works very well overall. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Good background work *2026-10-07, version 1.4.2* Over all is good, can be add forward button in app? ### 5/5 — لايعمل في الخلفية ارجو الاسراع في الاصلاح *2026-10-07, version 1.4.2* لايعمل في الخلفية بعد التحديثات الاخيرة ### 5/5 — Videos will randomly pause and then just sit there without on pausing *2026-10-06, version 1.4.1* It pauses the video and it’s not because it couldn’t load anymore because it caught up to where it was actually loading to with the gray bar just in general. The whole thing will load and pause like five seconds into it. It should only pause when I pause it even when I tap on the screen, it shouldn’t pause. This app needs a huge update as soon as possible within the next two weeks ### 5/5 — Muy buena *2026-10-06, version 1.4.1* Muy buena aplicación súper recomendada 10 de 10 ### 5/5 — PiP *2026-10-06, version 1.4.1* Was doing so good, too. Then you buckled like the rest of the dogs do. You got rid of what would’ve made you a superior option but what’s the point now if I can’t multitask off and enjoy the app while on another? Spit on my admiration and kudos for you. Rabid dogs unable to help cave to its masters over a bone. ### 5/5 — Best apps for apple user *2026-10-05, version 1.4.1* Too much smooth and fast ### 5/5 — 백그라운드재생안됨 *2026-10-05* 별 설정을 다 건들고 이리저리 봐도 백그라운드재생은 안됨 ### 5/5 — Amazing invention!!! Slop & Ad free!! *2026-10-05, version 1.4.0* Infinitely better than the original app, it’s fantastic and the best of its kind. Only note is please fix the picture in picture so we can listen to the audio without keeping it full screen! Thank you ❤️ ### 5/5 — Melhor app *2026-10-04* Sem anúncio e não trava melhor que outros pagos! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
