Great and Continually Improving!

I don’t give out five stars often, or ever. However, I’ve been very much enjoying my experience with this app. There have been a few quirks that I stayed patient with and kept an eye on; then, in a matter of two updates, they were addressed while bringing in other features as well. I’m delighted by the progress this app has made in a very short amount of time. Kudos to everyone who has played a part in bringing this app to life and seeing its continued development. You are all incredible. Thank you!

Been dreaming of an app like this- just needs playlists and more consistent background play!

I’d been wishing I had an app basically exactly like this recently. Just fed up with how cluttered YouTube’s interface has gotten between shorts and community posts from random channels. I think the biggest drawback is the lack of playlists. It makes it difficult to organize the videos I want to queue at a later time. I’ve got a large variety of videos and it’s hard to find what I want from my uncategorized inbox or even bookmark tab. Adding a way to put subscriptions into categories and sort your inbox with those would also be a great option for this issue. I also just can’t get background play to work unless I’m in PiP mode? Idk if I’m doing something wrong there???

Thanks for your feedback :)My plan is to keep the app focused with a single queue, if you’re looking for an app with playlists, tags, etc. "Play: Save Videos Watch Later" might be exactly what you’re looking for.Regarding background play: you simply have to tap "play" from the Dynamic Island/control center/Lock Screen/headphones after closing the app to keep playing audio.If you’re running into any issues please let me know: unwatched@icloud.com

PLEASE FIX White Line at Top of Screen

Love this app, seriously a life saver. Since the update yesterday there is now a white line across the top in full screen on the macOS version. PLEASE fix this issue I tried so many things to stop it from appearing including menu bar settings and screen mirror settings and when nothing worked I checked and sure enough the app was auto-updated yesterday. Extremely distracting but otherwise totally amazing ily guys.

This App is the ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS

I loathe ads with a passion. I found this app via a Reddit recommendation and I wish I’d found it so much sooner! I love the ability to integrate the app and load videos to my queue and the ability to pick a precise playback speed. 1.25 is too slow and 1.50 is too fast so I’m able to pick that perfect medium. Being able to customize the appearance/color scheme of the app is a nice touch too.
