## Review summary

Most reviews show a sharp decline: the app used to work reliably and offered an ad-free experience with multiple playback options, but it now largely fails to load or play videos. Many users report long-standing, unaddressed issues after updates, with the pro version viewed as no longer worth the price. Ad-block features and cross-device compatibility are also inconsistent, and YouTube updates appear to have outpaced the app's maintenance. Refunds and fixes are frequently requested.

### Pros

- Past reliability: users note it used to work flawlessly / without major issues for years.
- Ad-free experience when functioning: some reviews mention watching YouTube videos without ads via the app.
- Multiple playback options were available (V1, V2, YouTube) for video playback.
- Long-term usefulness: the app was used for many years before issues escalated.

### Cons

- Video playback fails to load: black screen with 'Loading' and videos not loading, sometimes only Shorts work.
- App stopped working after updates and appears unmaintained; users report no fixes or slow responses from developers.
- Paid/pro version criticized as no longer delivering value; reports of unresponsive support and requests for refunds.
- Ads blocking not functioning as expected, with users seeing YouTube ads despite claims of blocking.
- Inconsistent behavior across devices and updates; YouTube API/updates cited as root cause, leading to degraded compatibility and non-functionality.
