Not as good as FreeTube

This shouldn't have a subscription. There are alternatives that are not only better, but entirely open-source/free. Unfortunately, this seems to be the best application of this utility on the iOS app store. If you can use a computer instead of an Apple phone, FreeTube walks laps around this in terms of utility, cuatomization, privacy, and is completely free.

Amazing App

Great app that respects user privacy while giving the functionality of Youtube with no ads. Not many apps out there for iOS and this is a game changer

Great app but too much freezing

The queue system is great, so is pip.
however, it keeps freezing, then my iPad gets really hot.
hope it gets fixed soon.
thank you!

Awesome

Really nice and easy to use.
No bloat, no ads, no shorts!

PIP doesn’t work

I’m on an iPhone 16 pro max and pip does not work for me when I swipe down it pauses the video and just goes back to portrait mode. Also background audio does not work either.

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.

best app ever

no seriously this app rocks

Autoplay isnt working anymore

I used to have this on background play butbit suddenly stopped working. I tried everything i could think of but the background play is just not there at all.

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?

11/10

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.

love the app

i love the app but occasionally it gets very “stuck”. it will hang on launch — black screen, zero interaction. you can tell it’s doing something— because it makes the phone get hot just sitting there.

the only solution i’ve found to this is to uninstall the app completely and reinstall. this unfortunately deletes all my settings, subscriptions, etc. which is really a drag.

i’m a developer myself and know the importance of those star ratings. i’ve given you five stars — in spouse of this issue— and with the hope that you’ll fix it soon.

i’d be happy to help you identify and fix the issue if you need help. i’m @isaiah on mastodon. thanks again for a great app.

Has YT broken this app?

I love Unwatched and have used it for well over a year at this point, but tonight when I went to use it, every single video brought up a YT screen saying I have to sign in to play the video. If I wanted to sign in, I wouldn’t be using Unwatched. Happy to email support if that will help.

10/5 stars

thank you for this app

Very helpful

I got this cause I am always bombarded by Shorts when I try to watch YouTube and this is a great alternative. I like how simple things are and no ads is a plus

how is it this good

i’m completely spoiled by this app. organizing the videos I want to watch is not just made easy, it’s done in a way that other app has presented to me before, and I can’t go back to anything else. I feel so much better going through my backlog and selecting what I actually want to watch using this app
