A small, perhaps, improvement during the refresh/retrieval phase of new feeds when they haven’t been downloaded for a long time. This should prevent issues from occurring and the retrieval from getting “stuck.” I will need to work on it further. This might be the last update, unless urgent issues arise, before moving on to working on iOS27.

- A quick fix for a change in how video dates are displayed in channel details. With iOS 26.4, it seems the formatter no longer uses the XX-XX-XXXX format, so it has been adjusted to restore that format.

- Fixed an issue where live videos (green in home) didn’t update correctly after ending when refreshing. - Added a toggle in Settings to prevent the screen from going idle.

What’s New: - Automatic thumbnail updates: You can now enable automatic updating of video thumbnails in Settings when fetching new videos from your feeds (via the usual refresh button on the Home page). - Thumbnail download check: A minor check has been added to prevent occasional incorrect downloads of thumbnails. This issue should no longer occur. - Resolution change fix: Fixed the issue with video resolution changes that started yesterday (March 29) after YT made another changes.

- Added the ability to remove a bookmark by simply clicking again on the red bookmark icon. This will remove it without needing to set it elsewhere. - In the Recover Video, a new button has been added on the right that allows viewing downloaded videos in a slightly more “detailed” way (with cover image and some info). - The Glass Background option is no longer experimental. - Some minor under-the-hood improvements. - Testing and integration have begun for displaying unplayable videos with the message “playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner.” It currently seems to work, but it’s uncertain whether it will be released in the future.

- Fixed an issue with Share+ where the background was not synced with the actual status of the video. - [Experimental] Added a glass-effect background option in Settings. When activated, you can see a “glass” background on the Home screen (although the change is subtle). - A few small under-the-hood tweaks.

just two little things: - Aligned the “Latest Arrivals” label to clearly identify/show whether the content is a video or a live stream (finished). - Added a loading indicator to the cache manager to show when the space calculation is complete.

- Added some missing tactical feedback. - Improvements to Share+ when using screenshots. Screenshots now have a background more consistent with the app.

What’s new in this version: - Introduced a new Share version. You can enable it in Settings and switch between the standard Share and Share+. With Share+, you can choose what to include when sharing a video: title, author, creation date, URL, thumbnail, or a screenshot from the Home view using the Customize button. - Updated icons for Videos and Shorts across all filters and video lists. - [Experimental] Added the ability to recover all videos (videos only) from a channel. Enable it in Settings. Retrieving the full list may take some time, especially for large channels. Access the feature from the channel details page. Recovered videos will automatically move to the normal video list once opened. - Fixed graphical issues with search in Home while using filters. - Fixed the seen/unseen counter animation in the Follow list. - Minor update to the Follow button in the toolbar. - Various improvements and internal refactoring across several views. - Added a new filter: LIVE. You can now filter by Videos, Shorts, and Live. - Fixed some graphical issues with glass-style buttons and menus. - Added partial haptic feedback support.

- Disabled, for now, the ability to change the audio track. I will need to investigate further.... - Fixed in settings the example of the time format when switching from 24h to 12h. - Adjusted the time on the home screen which could cause a layout issue when changed. - Changed the background on video search results where the light theme made it hard to see. - Fixed an issue with resolution changes where repeatedly skipping 10s could corrupt the resolution list.

- start for handling a live stream in case it becomes subscribers-only after it ends (step 1) - various under-the-hood improvements - in the channel details—where the tab, cover image, description and all videos are—now the description and cover image will be downloaded, saved and checked only when the user visits that page, and updated if changed - added in settings the option to clear cache and temporary files to make the app lighter. I might add the ability to schedule automatic cleaning in the future - aligned the "App Icon" title (where you can choose which app icon to use) so it matches the other titles - small graphical improvements

- Fix for the issue, which appeared today, 24 November, where search and retrieval of some information were broken. YT likes to shuffle the deck of cards. - Fixed the video/channel search picker — it should no longer act up when switching selection between Video and Channel. - Restored the normal spacing between the time slider and the top edge of its containing box. - Aligned the "Translate" button in the video details with the others so the new iOS color changes don’t break the appearance. - Various minor fixes and improvements.

- changed the behavior of the video progress bar on the video detail screen. It now moves smoothly when adjusted via tap. - changed the color of the filter buttons on Home and Follow because on iOS 26.1 they became hard to read when activated. - improvements and bug fixes to the update popover - changed in the detail view the behavior where, once video upload started, the views, date and description were shifted slightly down. Now they remain fixed until the video is played, and the player controller will be positioned correctly even when videos have (new?) aspect ratios.

- fix for an issue with video descriptions where the presence of " caused spacing problems and they were then detected as changed descriptions, creating false positives - fix for an issue where, after final updates to the player, the age-restriction message did not appear for videos that have it enabled - some improvements to the video player

- just fix layout for iPhone mini devices in HomeView, Settings, and VideoDetails: player buttons (AirPlay, Fullscreen, PiP) are now positioned below the 10s button.

- Fix for the most important issue: videos not having the correct status. Now the status, error messages, etc. should be correct again. - Fix for the issue where links inside video descriptions were incorrectly treated as markdown.

- Since YT keeps acting unpredictably for reasons that aren’t clear (not just with my app but in general), I removed the error 153 alert (red and yellow background) that appeared when trying to press play. Unfortunately this will only cause false positives (red backgrounds on the home screen) that make videos look blocked when they aren’t. For now I’ll keep it this way because I want to monitor this error. If this things ever ends, simply pressing play will cause it to auto-update itself. The error only prevents me from retrieving some information, but the playback player itself should be fine after the previous updates (especially the latest 1.4 release) I made. - Various improvements and refinements in the video detail screen.

- modified text selection (video description and channel description). You can now select single words or the entire text normally (manually). - fixed channel description and video description that could display markdown incorrectly. - where there are translate buttons (some not highly visible), a normal single tap will execute Apple's Flexible Translation API. With a long tap gesture, a choice menu will open: Translate with Apple (Translation API) or Translate with Google. - major change to the engine to, I hope, finally prevent errors 153 and 15 even if YouTube goes haywire (like the day before yesterday), so videos can still be displayed. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve...

- Various under-the-hood improvements and other changes due to recent YouTube updates (I hope they finish). - On Home: when you play a video while another is already playing, the previous one will now stop and close. - in Follow: redesigned filter options — in addition to the existing filters, you can now filter a channel’s content by All, Videos only, or Shorts only. - in Follow: added a mark-as-watched/unwatched filter. When you open the sheet to mark a channel’s videos, you can choose which videos to mark. - Fixed a cosmetic issue with the filter button on Home. - Settings: new option to remove or keep the shadow on the quality button (improves readability). - Follow channel detail: added the same filters to view All, Videos, or Shorts in the list. Note: some videos still show as unplayable (marked red) due to YouTube-side issues; they can play despite the warning (except for those that are truly blocked on the user's side). Waiting on further changes from YouTube? Maybe...

- Changed minimum required. Now need iOS 26. - Fixed a rare issue with bookmarks in auto mode. - Some improvements under the hood. - Changed the corner radius of the sheet when opening a blocked video. - Fixed an issue with the slider in the video player on the video details screen: when exiting fullscreen, the slider would incorrectly update the current time and remaining time. - Fixed the aspect ratio on the home view: videos now display without black bars.

- migration from Swift 5 to Swift 6. - [FIX] I hope I’ve finished fixing the player slider. It was inaccurate, and the current time and time remaining were not synchronized during video playback. - in Settings, the “?” button has been updated to the new liquid glass version. - redesigned the player buttons with the liquid glass style. - [FIX] fixed a small issue related to languages. Now every error message explaining why a video cannot be played will always appear in English.

- improvements aimed at speeding up opening and managing Follow in the corresponding tab. It should now be faster and more performant. - improved Follow animations (statistics and watched/unwatched) - added default message for videos that require login (age restrictions)

- [BUG FIX] Fix for error 153 (video player configuration) - [FEATURE] Show video bitrate on the Home screen (top), allowing quick view/change as in video details - Various bug fixes and improvements - Removed "unlock video" option — videos are now always unlocked

First BIG UPDATE! - Full support for iOS 26 - Brand-new tab bar with liquid glass effect – fully customizable from Settings. You can keep it fixed or shrink it to a single button, with placement on the left, right, or center. - Completely redesigned video view – new layout, easier access to new videos, smarter filters, and improved search (by title or handle). You can also configure watched/unwatched videos directly from Settings. - Fresh new search view for a smoother experience. - Updated Follow view – tap on a channel name to instantly see all its videos, or tap the numbers to switch between total videos and those still to watch. - Revamped channel detail view – now accessible by simply tapping the channel avatar. - General improvements and bug fixes for a smoother experience.

This might be the last update before I start working on the integration with iOS 26. - [FIX] Fixed text strings. - [FIX] Fixed an issue where the popover opened from the “?” button in the FEED section of settings was not displaying correctly in certain situations. - [New feature]: when a channel has an updated avatar, a small animation will appear on the channel’s avatar in the Home screen, as well as in the Follow tab. To update it, simply go to the channel’s detail view from the Follow tab (where all the channel info is displayed). - [New Follow screen]: it’s now possible to see the full list of videos for each channel without having to enter the channel detail view. Swipe gestures have been added to mark all videos as watched/unwatched or to delete a single channel directly. For multiple deletions, you need to enter edit mode.
