Great app, but I have an isssue.

I love the app, because I can get around YouTube Premium. Recently, though, background play has stopped working.

Was great. Not so much now.

Somehow I found this app, and it completely changed my YouTube watching for the better. Unfortunately, the last few months it seems to have lost the ability to continue the audio when I switch to another app. What happened?

greatest free app available. Thank you

Amazing way to not pay for US service but still use it.

As a Canadian I am now big into the boycott US, I don’t like taking money away from creators but Google is in the US and the creators need to find non-US alternatives to YouTube.
Just wish I could use this app while other apps were in the foreground. Some apps work that way while others do not.

Folders?

Great app. Very useful if you follow many channels and need a way to focus just on the essential videos. One thing I would appreciate is the ability to have folders so you can sort videos by subject. I want to keep sports videos separate from the news and it would make it easier to sort through.
