User Reviews

Unwatched for YouTube is praised for an ad-free, distraction-free experience and for eliminating Shorts, which helps users focus. Its queue-first design with inbox-style backlog lets users curate what they want to watch and filter out unwanted content. Many reviews highlight its ability to reduce scrolling and algorithm nudges. However, the app has bugs and stability issues, a steep learning curve with limited in-app guidance, and navigation gaps such as a missing back button and awkward history management. Some platform quirks are mentioned, like limited background playback. Overall, it offers strong focus but with reliability and onboarding trade-offs.

I’m on an iPhone 16 pro max and pip does not work for me when I swipe down it pauses the video and just goes back to portrait mode. Also background audio does not work either.

I used to have this on background play butbit suddenly stopped working. I tried everything i could think of but the background play is just not there at all.
