Comments and Reviews
I use it for 3 months and it's great: Pros:
Cons:
My usecase: at first I open youtube video page in browser (from articles, from recommendations, etc), at second, I just open link in application
Now it supports trend but no recommendations
Video stops or gets out of sync whenever phone gets into landscape mode or vice-versa. Audio stops for a couple of seconds when the screen is turned off. Crashes regularly.
Excellent alternative to YouTube Premium, I was able to migrate my YouTube data :)
Better than youtube in every aspect.
I like NewPipe because it's a free, Open Source and privacy respecting alternative to Youtube
NewPipe is a fantastic, privacy-focused FLOSS frontend for YouTube. Right now, it offers even a better experience than paying for YouTube Premium.
Lightweight, supports background playback, video downloads. Miniplayer is just a nuisance unless you're using it on a tablet. Seemed to be easily broken by changes made by google relative to other youtube players.
