Watch YouTube videos without the Algorithm

It’s such a cool idea, just pick what videos you want to watch and then watch them! No recommended videos or autoplay or ads… You can subscribe to channels inside of it too

The best way to escape YouTube shorts!

If you want to free yourself from the terrible grasp of YouTube shorts, but you can’t quit YouTube entirely, this app is perfect. It takes a little getting used to, and playing in the background doesn’t always work, but overall I’m so glad to have this app!

Vague UI

I'm with Jazz04009 when I say that the UI of this app is not very straight forward. For example, if I add a link to a video, it disappears and I have to look in the library to find it. Also, some videos stop a continuous play session. To restart the session, I select past the desired video. Sometimes it works right away and others I just have to skip over them in the playlist until something starts. That will often resuscitate the session, but not always for long.

There's also a circular (refresh button?) at the top-right of the playlist. Tapping it doesn't seem to refresh either the playlist or the status of partially played videos in it. So what does it do? Why do we need to spell this out to learn about this stuff? Don't ask me to follow up with an email or anything. If you can't be bothered to pass it on to your team then why should I?

The app is really good at what it does... until it isn't. 4 ⭐️

Can you download videos?

Thank you for no ads, but I was wondering this.

Eh

It’s alright only issue is the ui is prob one of the most confusing things I’ve ever used.

Buggy & freezes

I wanted to like this app so bad but it's extremely buggy and it freezes your phone. You have to constantly refresh and close it and open it back up so I can't recommend it.

Greatest app on the appstore

Will never use the youtube app again

Love this app BUT…

Can you fix pip?

Great, but sometimes crashes

I like it a lot but it sometimes crashes

Love the app, wish it had mini player

This app is amazing! I was so sick of ads for YouTube. Giving it 4 stars because not having a mini player is…not ideal

It’s good when it works. But the App usually mute itself when I switch it to background.

Sometimes mute, sometimes stop playing.

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?
