Nice but unstable
Response from developer
Hi R Coogan, Thanks for the honest feedback. And sorry that you’ve encountered such issue. I will look into that. Meanwhile, please feel free to provide the details on how those crashes happened and email it to zentube@intenca.com. It can certainly help with fixing the issue. Thanks! Hong
Thank you for this amazing app
Response from developer
Hi merryhy, Thank you for using ZenTube, glad that it helped you. Currently, there is no renaming function in the app. You can workaround this by creating ew category and removing the old one. You can delete a category by going to the subscriptions page > Tap the edit button on the top right corner > Tap the delete button next to the category name. Then, you can create a new category and put the channels in as you like. I will add the rename function in the next update. Thanks, Hong
Background play support needed
Response from developer
Hi Onionchips04, Thanks for the kind words. I can totally understand that. Unfortunately, no third party YouTube client can add a background playback feature in-app. Doing so will be a breach of their ToS. Considering that alone, ZenTube is not taking that risk, hope you can understand. Thanks, Hong

Youtube as a Tool, Not an Addiction
Response from developer
Thank you very much for your kind review, vikingberry! You nailed it with “as a tool, not an addiction”. That’s pretty much the goal of this app. By the way, all the best trying to better your life, that sounds awesome. Meanwhile, I will try to make this app better. Much thanks, Hong C.
Extremely Helpful
Very good
Amazing app
Please add a function of hiding Comments and Hiding “text recommendations” in the search bar when you type the name of the video.

Thank you, Michael. On it.
Fundamentally great at doing what it’s supposed to do
By restricting what content is available or easily accessible, it can help you make smarter decisions with your time and what you actually want to watch.
However, these restrictions can feel frustrating when compared to the normal YouTube app. Although this is by design, I promise you that having no easily accessible recommendation page or shorts button to press will get to you much more than you would like to think.
I do think there are room for improvements in this app, namely:
1. Including video duration somewhere in the subscriptions section - sometimes I have a set duration where I want to watch something and don’t want to pick something too long or short
2. Being able to log in to YouTube - I understand that the app is built in a way that prevents this, but often I watch YouTube on other devices which don’t have ZenTube, leading to inconsistencies in my watched videos and other things that are slightly annoying.
3. Being able to turn restrictive features on or off. For example, I quite like seeing thumbnails, which are disabled on the app for all subscriptions videos.
Overall, the app isn’t perfect but it’s a hell of a lot better than the default YT app for preventing binge watching or scrolling.
