Amazing app
The 2.0 update skyrocketed this app into an absolute delight! The new card swiping inbox interface is fun and helps triage my inbox even faster, and the addition of audio podcasts is a dream come true! Kudos to the developer for creating a buttery smooth media experience that’s truly a joy to use.
Simple and Robust
Love this app, it just works, no ads either great
Läuft fast perfekt…
… aber nachdem ich einen livestream angefangen zu schauen (aber nicht zu Ende) hängt sich die App bei jedem Start auf. Neustart vom Gerät half leider nicht, musste die App neu installieren und Abos und co neu einpflegen.

Tut mir leid zu hören. Unter Bibliothek → Einstellungen → Nutzerdaten gibt es die Option von einem Backup wiederherzustellen. – Michael
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.

Response from developer
Thanks for your review :) I want Unwatched to be relatively simple and focused, making the most customizable version out there is not my goal. Depending on what you’re looking for, you may find "Play: Save Videos Watch Later", "Smart Tube BDP", or something like "SwizzTube" to be more to your liking. The majority of features will remain free, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to charge for someone’s work. It’ll be a reasonable price once it launches (it’s currently still 100% free with no option to pay for anything). Unwatched is open source, you can find a link to the repo inside Library → Settings. If you want to use Unwatched as a starting point, then customize it and use your own version for free you’re welcome to do so. – Michael
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.
