It looks decent, though I prefer NewPipe.
I've been struggling with it lately actually. For some reason it doesn't really work on my phone. The videos will play the first minute at most, then stop loading. Regular YouTube doesn't have that problem.
Before that started though, I found ReVanced much better than the official app. Would recommend
Yeah, it had some issues like that when I first patched it. I think Google rolls out some randomized changes that screw it up. When that bug popped up for me, videos would work fine on incognito mode. Maybe that could work for you too.
I use it all the tim, works perfectly for me. Occasionally I'll use NewPipe, but unfortunately I find the YouTube recommendation algorithm useful for finding things to watch (even leftist content) so I've been finding it difficult to switch fully.
Works well for me too.
I think I like the YouTube player, plus the playlists, and watch later. And the algorithm is okay to find new stuff.
I prefer newpipe to avoid youtube's anti features like its recommendation feed and so on.
Edit: also newpipe is free software
I went from New Pipe -> Vanced -> ReVenced -> ReVanced Extended and I'm happiest with the latter. I know it's not FOSS but sometimes I have to make a compromise for UX
Most of the time I don't watch videos on my phone, so I just use the normal youtube app even if it has ads, but if I need to listen some music I use NewPipe.
Idk if ReVanced is easy to setup or not rn (i.e. It requires a specific version of youtube).
I've used it since it has come out. It's pretty good with a decent amount of customization which I like. First installing it can be a pain in the ass as well as updating it but I find it worth it to avoid ads and stuff
I just use Invidious or Piped, but I don't know if they have good Android clients
I've been using new pipe as well. I have some subscriptions that are exclusively on that app, and I otherwise just share YouTube links from the web browser to watch on new pipe and have new pipe be the default app for all the links it supports. I also just completely disabled the YouTube app
