Within an hour of installing the app, I decided I didn’t actually need it, so I held down on the app button (on my home screen] and in the window I saw something incredibly disturbing: Several files were listed from just moments ago — multiple screen recordings, multiple image files. I clicked on one and it had all my messages up!! Without wasting time reviewing anything else it took, I deleted it, disconnected from the internet, and went to settings to turn on Lockdown Mode & shut the device off. What happened to not collecting data? I actually read privacy policies before I download apps, so I trusted what this developer wrote and what I assumed Apple verified to be safe. BEWARE. ### 1/5 — Too many problems *2025-09-22, version 1.5.1* Playback takes ages to begin. Trying to scrub through a video will stall the playback. Turning the phone sideways won’t automatically switch video to fullscreen; you first have to open the settings panel and close it then it detects the orientation change. In short, you’re better off putting a shortcut to your Piped Instance on your homescreen. It will give you a much better experience that way. ### 1/5 — UNINSTALLED, WHAT A LOAD OF CRAB *2025-09-19, version 1.5.1* Rubbish ### 3/5 — Everything Great Except Thumbnails Not Loading *2025-07-16, version 1.5.1* Connected to an Invidious instance, and now I can watch ad free YouTube on my phone! That is so great to have. This would be a 5 star review except for that thumbnails don’t load! I just see a gray box for each video. That’s a huge flaw, as it makes it hard to choose what videos to watch. I tried switching the thumbnail quality option in the settings, but that didn’t fix it. I hope the developers can fix this. Another minor critique is that the search function is hidden in the “more” tab. Odd design choice to bury such an important feature. ### 1/5 — Needs update *2025-07-04, version 1.5.1* Has not recieved an update in over a year. This version, therefore no longer works. ### 1/5 — Never. Works. *2025-04-14* Always an error or video won’t play. Always. No matter the account. Truly hate this app. ### 4/5 — Video that cannot play links *2025-01-18* Can't load video:Internal server error This helps protect our community. Learn more ### 5/5 — Basically Newpipe for iOS *2024-12-02, version 1.5.1* This app is great! It gives us ad-free YouTube while not supporting greedy companies like Google. It truly is magic. ### 4/5 — Not perfect, but great for what it is *2024-11-18* Most of the problems are caused by YouTube’s attack on invidious and piped, however it definitely has issues, beats the browser though. ## Frequently asked questions about Yattee ### What kind of media can I play with this app?
