I like the privacy I have thru smart tube n the ad blocker however sometime the video player freezes when switching from portrait to landscape and there seems to be an audio issue when putting my phone into sleep and then trying to reopen the same video also any video I watch does not get logged into my history and the worst of all I can’t figure out how to subscribe in app, I still like the concept and hope it gets work on more in the future tho
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.
Developer Response
Hm not playing videos should be only if its members video perhpas.Strange shorts might be because you have per device recomendation in settings.But i will look into it anyhow.Regards
Great app, needs some polish
Soooooo cool!
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-appI love this app so far and with a few quality of life fixes this app would be a 5/5 for me.
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.
