Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: NewPipe is a popular and lightweight YouTube alternative praised for its lack of ads, ability to download videos and audio, and privacy-focused features. Users appreciate the background play option and picture-in-picture support. The app runs on Android but not iOS or web, and lacks a login option, meaning no personalized history or recommendations. Some users reported performance issues such as video playback errors and crashes, and a minority found it unstable after YouTube updates.

I use it for 3 months and it's great: Pros:

  1. Lightweight: not 10 MB, not 20 MB, just 4 MB.
  2. Performance: quick start
  3. Support of other players: you can play youtube videos in VLC or something else.
  4. You can download videos
  5. Picture in Picture support
  6. No ads
  7. FOSS, for me it matter

Cons:

  1. You can't login to yout account: no history, no recommendations
  2. No trends

My usecase: at first I open youtube video page in browser (from articles, from recommendations, etc), at second, I just open link in application

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 :)

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.
