Saw Louis Rossmans original video on the app and figured (and it may well have been) it would be buggy and awful at that point. Decided to gike it a try, the app has all the options I could want for watching youtube, it's multiplatform to a much greater degree than Newpipe and it's forks.

The reason I don't ever expect to go back to Newpipe or Libretube is the plugins update through the app, meaning I can get bypasses to YouTubes bullshit as fast as they're developed.

Newpipe is usually updated quickly, but in my experience forks like Tubular that include sponsorblocks often delay me from getting that update.

Overall, very good experience so far!

Ooooh okay. Yeah, I avoided the playstore version. I'm pretty sure I had read somewhere early on that the Playstore version would lack features or otherwise be behind in some ways due to complying with certain Google specific requirements to be allowed on the storefront. Kind of like KDEConnect.
