4.0 out of 5, based on 333 reviews.
What people like
- No ads and no tracking
- Built-in sponsor block works well
- Totally free to use always
- Can disable shorts easily
What they complain about
- App crashes frequently on startup
- Background audio stops playing immediately
- Video playback often lacks sound
- Constant bugs ruin the experience
It’s great.
It works well. I wish the buffer was longer instead of 30 seconds. For spotty internet people, it’d be nice if it were 120 seconds or so. It also feels a little weird with the full screen, then iPhone full screen to get pip to work. It’d be nice if using the second full screen feature wasn’t necessary. It’s also be nice if it had playback in locked mode so I could just listen without having to have the video playing.
Background play back not work

Good App But,
Need to be able to create playlists and add to them from the player menu when watching videos
Can’t play video in from the search
Can’t play video in from the search
Started out well and then…….
Sadly after the initial install and watching the next day and all the subsequent days, the app is not updating my YouTube library. Shame. app support takes one to Facebook - who uses that?
The best app out there!
Honestly, the bugs don’t bug me(hehe) and aside from them, it’s usually a quick fix or easy to go around when I do run into a bug. All that matters is that this app is MUCHHH better than that cursed red tube one. Even with the small amount of bugs, I rate this a 10/10!! 5 stars!! And honestly, where are you going to find an app like this ever again?
Doesn’t work
This app doesn’t work and I have WiFi.whenever I click on a video my screen goes black
Good however
My account has 3 channels attached to it, i cannot seem to be able to switch between channels? Apart from this great app
Noch nicht so
App funktioniert so lala. Video läuft. Im Hintergrund stoppt es sofort. Ich würde gerne mehr Sterne ⭐️ veröffentlichen.
Background playback not working
Hi developers, I’m using an iPhone 17 Pro Max with the latest iOS version, but background playback isn’t working correctly. The audio stops when I lock the screen or switch to the home screen or another app. Could you please look into this issue?
Dev! PLEASE READ
I’m not sure how the memory of the code works, but when I watch videos from my history, the playback data doesn’t remember where I was. Additionally, when I watch a video from my history, it doesn’t automatically jump back to the top of the list of videos I’ve watched. I’m certain this is just a simple mistake on your part, or YouTube won’t allow me to do it, but if you can fix it, that would be greatly appreciated.
Background Playback
To the developer: Do you test updates before their official release? The background playback feature is currently not working!!
Great app, needs some polish
The foundation for something great has been set, but there are some bugs that need ironing out. Issues: - Videos will sometimes lose audio after exiting and re-entering the app - Some videos open in a different kind of player that doesn't work (Looks similar to the iOS player) - In-video links do not work - Thumbnails on the homepage sometimes flash as if reloading constantly - Subscription list is out of order (i.e. newer videos are shown later that older videos) Possible QoL Improvements: - A way to navigate to similar videos from within the player would be nice - It would be nice to have an option for videos to go to a miniplayer when minimized in-app I love this app so far and with a few quality of life fixes this app would be a 5/5 for me.
Barely functional :(
It isn’t like smarttube on android.. it works really poorly, it skips ads but the interface is seriously broken. Too maddeningly buggy to actually use it. Also the screenshots seem to show functions that aren’t actually available in the app, why does it look there is a more advanced version than what actually gets installed?
Latest update: Won't stay paused
This app is generally great, but there's tons of random changes to the layout and functionality with each update, it doesn't seem like it's being tested much at all? So many changes with no clear purpose behind them, and always a new bug introduced when the last bug is fixed, making it a generally frustrating experience to use. At least it doesn't have the problem with endless ads and tracking that the official app does.
Excelente aplicación
Pero deberían añadir más idiomas
You are a symbol of failure
A failed app, and you're even worse off.
Add option to force fixed video playback resolution
I am an Apple TV 4K user and I want to submit a feature request about video resolution control. Currently, the app only provides a "Max resolution" setting, which only sets an upper limit of video quality. The app will still automatically drop to lower resolutions according to network conditions, and there is no way to force the player to load the exact resolution I want. This issue makes my playback image extremely blurry most of the time. The official YouTube app can steadily maintain high-definition picture quality, while SmartTube cannot lock the target resolution, which brings a very poor viewing experience to me. I sincerely hope you can add a new function: fixed resolution lock. Users can manually select a specific resolution (such as 2160p/1080p) and force the player to load video streams of this exact resolution, instead of only setting a maximum resolution cap. This will let users stably get clear, high-quality video images as expected.
Blackscreen and Still loading…
Leider sehr häufig Fehlermeldungen und kein abspielen möglich, schade.
Good concept with potentials
As a devoted fan of SmartTube on Android TV, i’m glad someone developed an alternative for Apple platforms. This app has good foundation in native Swift with most features in the original SmartTube app implemented, like DeArrow and no ads. I do find several obvious bugs that affect my experience such as the built-in pause button not working and device getting hot after watching only 2 videos. Overall, great concept with a lot to improve.
Amazing
Amazing app, works so well. No clutter and no ads. Includes sponsor block and allows you to download videos locally. Keeps getting better and more stable with every update and works flawlessly for me. One thing that would make it perfect is if I could see the video description. Maybe I’m overlooking it, but seem to only be able to see comments. Keep up the good work!
Decoding Errors
Doesn’t work at all. All I’m getting are decoding errors. Also, when it did work the video quality is 360p without the option to change anything.
I like it but..
It’s a good and reliable video player with no ads but the one problem is I can’t play audio when my phone is off and the audio stops playing I miss this old feature. Edit I wish timestamps worked too ;(
Playback issues
I cannot get the playback to work, when I exit the app video mutes itself but continues playing in the background
Developer, please read and fix.
These problems need fixed, bad. Sometimes, videos will randomly pause and won’t keep playing unless I go out of the video and go back into it. Other times, videos just won’t play at all and say “Unable to play this video”. On my Smart TV and on my IPhone, in which I have this app on both, it gives me random shorts I don’t want and have never watched anything close too in my life, and even when I click “Not Interested” and refresh, they still come back! When I try to hold down to get the options (To do stuff like click “Not Interested”), it plays the Short. 1 last complaint, sometimes it will randomly go to a black screen and restart the video when watching a video. Developer, please fix these issues, otherwise, this app would be amazing. Thanks.
Lo mejor
De lo mejor que e visto
Nice when I used it on Android
I just downloaded this app for my iPhone and login to my YouTube account but nothing works, every link will not play at all
Works great so far
Works great, except it won’t shuffle playlist even though it is set to shuffle. Thoughts?
Almost useless
Depends on Google login to manage subscriptions, playlists, etc. Should allow you to manage these locally like Unwatched and NewPipe.
Buggy but would be great
Many of the features for ad skipping are implemented well but I found the regular play/pause and seek functionality is completely unresponsive on iPad which makes it not useful
Only one missing feature!
Incredible app, so far! Only issue I'm having is my playlists will only display the first 15 videos. Hoping this can be fixed in an update! EDIT: awesome! One more thing—if you could make playlists editable within the app, I pretty much will have no reason to keep the official YouTube on my phone. :) EDIT 2: love all the updates and improvements this app has gotten! PLEASE fix the ability to add or remove from watch later and other playlists (I get a HTTP 400 error when I try). It's literally the only missing feature keeping me from fully deleting the official YouTube app!
A problem with sound
Welcome.. There is a problem with the sound if the video quality is changed
Didn’t get hacked yet
Sponsorblock on iPhone is huge. It is quite a bit different from the stock client but it’s more focused. The dev seems pretty cool. The biggest drawback is the unintuitive and slow interface during playback.
Autoplay next video
Why isn't it working Autoplay next video
It’s alright
My phone gets hot while using it. Buffering takes too long when opening a video. Other than that it seems to block ads fine.
Works great
Incredible app, no ads, can disable shorts, built in sponsor-block, all for free. Great app, thanks for making it.
.
Get errors when connected to VPN. When I disconnect from VPN, I get no audio. Also, subscriptions have a non-chronological sorting.
Apple TV app v.2.7
Apple TV app v.2.7 breaking crash on app open, please fix
Cant change resolution
Yea cant change resolution everything playing in very low quality. The option is grayed out, please help.
Cool app
Works pretty good for iPhone, but the Apple TV doesn’t get very many updates, and the picture quality is pretty bad.
Was working fine now crashes.
Latest update causes it to crash unfortunately.
Broken
⚠️This page needs to reloaded. That’s it, that’s all it does for any video.
Works good
I just wish I could cast to my tv is all
Crashes easily on app launch
It has been auto closing the app when I open it
No videos showing
Every time I search something it loads and times out. Can you fix?
Great app!
So glad this exists. Keep going devs!
stopped working on iPad
day 1 worked ok now day 2 stopped working
Great app but needs casting support
Great app, I just hope it adds TV casting support with high quality streaming.
Glitch mute sound
Worked fine but the sound was gone. Fix glitch thanks
Some promise but still has issues
I love having no ads. But I can't just play a playlist from my YouTube playlists. I have to go in and manually add them to my queue
