Review summary

Users praise PocketTube for organizing YouTube subscriptions and helping with distraction-free viewing. However, the app is plagued by reliability problems (crashes, auth stalls, and failed loads), playback issues (videos not playing), and repeated loading/processing delays. Reviewers also note missing features such as filtering Shorts, organizing playlists into folders, and casting. Overall, the app has strong value when it works but suffers from instability and feature gaps that hinder consistent use.

Pros

Excellent for organizing and decluttering YouTube subscriptions
Helps users avoid distractions from YouTube
Generally positive and useful when the app functions

Cons

Major reliability issues: frequent crashes and being stuck on 'Connect YouTube Account'/auth flows
Playback limitations: videos sometimes cannot be played within the app
Loading/processing problems: content frequently stalls or shows processing
Missing features: requests for filtering Shorts, playlist folders, and casting

2026-07-03	Jo*****	Thought this app was what I needed to organise the 200 or so channels I subscribe into category folders. For some odd reason it only picks up channels names which start with A through to G. There is no sign of the channels names from H to Z, so I can't add these channels to a folder, so the app is pointless.
