So I like YouTube, what I don’t like is the official app, so when I saw this I was pretty intrigued
I shelled out the $3 and gave it a try and
It seems like with some more development this could be a great alternative to the official YouTube app
Right now it’s definitely in an early stage
and doesn’t seem ideal to daily drive though
Comments and thumbnails sometimes don’t load, resolution is stuck at 480p or auto, not entirely sure but It looks kind of blurry and I can’t change it
And I can’t find a way to play videos outside of full screen, so I can’t browse comments while I watch a video
Dark mode only works when it’s enabled system wide and the UI feels a bit clunky and odd to use right now
You can’t search for things but you can view videos from your subscriptions
When a video is paused and taken out of full screen it shows suggested videos on the bottom of the player which looks kind of ugly
But I should give credit where credit is due,
You get an ad free experience and Picture in Picture support which is great, You can also bring up the share menu on videos which is a nice touch
With feature updates and improved stability
this has potential to be a great way to watch YouTube on iOS and I hope to see its continued support
