It's free, it's great! Avoid ads by watching one (stupid and horribly outdated) ad when you start it up (that you can skip), then you can watch whatever you want ad free. The minimizer works too. Just put it in the background, turn off the screen and it continues to play, all ad free. I thought maybe it was malware at first, but I've never had any data stolen and my accounts they're all good. Only trouble is that it's slow to respond after using for an hour or so. Don't pay for YT Red w/this.

For a few days now I can't open a new video once the app has started. If I click on a video, the app seems to load to said video, but the screen is all black under the navigation bar. I've tried clearing all data, checking for updates and reinstalling the app. Nothing work. The app is virtually unusable now. which sucks because I really enjoyed this app for years. Also, now I can't block my phone to listen to videos, because that pauses content. The app is now useless.

The issue has been resolved, please update to the latest version on Play Store (v9.0.5.1) The issue was caused by a change on YouTube’s side, and the only thing we could do was fix it on our end once it happened. Thank you for your understanding.

Loved the app, It used to and I hope for it to be my go-to app again. I use it to watch or just listen to videos as I draw, but now it won't play for some reason? It keeps pausing itself and won't play for more than 5 seconds. I thought it was a problem on my side for a bit, maybe I had something constantly playing in the background, but I downloaded another minimizer app and it works just fine. Hope this can be fixed. Edit; Re downloaded it after a few months and these issues persist.
