Pros: It does play audio when display is off, which is very convenient! Cons: Ads play with no warning and are very long. Ads don't play during videos though, which is nice. Bugs: 1) "Could not play video" error. 2) Buffering can be problematic, especially when you select a lower resolution (ironically). Also, there's no option to make the video fullscreen

It still has ads, but a looooot less than YT's ads. You may encounter around 1-2 ads every hour or so with Playtube, and that's only if you're using the app to look for videos. If you leave it with the autoplay, there won't be ads. One small problem the app has is the video glitching--sometimes the video may take forever to load, or it may abruptly stop playingin the background until you open the app window again. All in all, great app!

Got it because people raved about its adblock feature, but trying to watch videos is painful. When a video opens my phone starts vibrating like San Francisco in 1908, then there's a "Lord of the Ring trilogy" length delay before the video starts playing. And to top it all off, theres no full screen mode. I guess if all you care about is being able to listen to music with your phone closed it might be useful, but I'll deal with the ads on YT personally
