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

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.

This app is great. Not only does it get rid of ads but it also supports SponsorBlock so you get NO ADs. The only thing I’ve noticed is sometimes I get this weird hitching in videos. It’s not buffering, the video just stops for about a second or so then continues playing. Otherwise, this app has become my main media app.
