Install Newpipe and you get an even better YouTube experience. Can be a Holy Shit experience for people who never knew YouTube before it became shit.
There's also YouTube revanced as well
Literally would not visit youtube otherwise, as proven by the brief pause after Vanced stopped working.
Another app is LibreTube, although it uses piped, which I kinda dislike as it means (depending on the instance you connect to) videos load slower and the subscriptions don't all get refreshed.
I know there is a toggle for disabling piped, but the subscription issue doesn't seem to get affected.
There's a fork of NewPipe with sponsor block. I'd highly recommended getting that.
The equivalent on your PC would be an app called freetube
Sponsor block is also available as a browser plugin on desktop
Its a bit out of date currently sadly
Works perfectly fine for me. I use it daily, including right now. Give it a shot. Some people are put off by not having personalised suggestions or being able to login to sync or the different interface.......but for me all of those are strengths of the app, not weaknesses.
What I came here to say, my favourite app on my phone.
I installed new pipe to my 15 year old son and he loves it! He hates the algorithm
Is newpipe on any playstore or do I need to go find the apk myself? I assume the latter, lol
Install f-droid, It's a reliable alternate software store for Android and it's been around for a very long time.
Thanks for the advice!
It's on f droid
