User Reviews

Reviewers frequently praised on-watch YouTube playback and search, but note that the app largely delivers Shorts rather than full videos, with weak or inconsistent search results. Many users report it doesn’t work standalone on Apple Watch and has login/account access issues. Content is missing for some searches, some videos are only short clips, and performance varies by region. Overall, it’s convenient on the watch but falls short in content quality and reliability.

Pros

Watch YouTube directly on Apple Watch
Search for videos directly from the Apple Watch
Convenient for quick, on-the-go viewing on the watch

Cons

Mostly yields Shorts, not full YouTube videos
Search results are unreliable and mostly show Shorts
Does not work standalone on Apple Watch and requires iPhone on; login/account access issues
Content is missing or limited (no content for certain searches)
Video length is limited to short clips (1-2 minutes) and full videos/channels aren’t available

Haven’t found shorts yet hope there is

The videos are all literally one min long and shows nothing but those

The search is worthless and I don’t know if it’s because you need the “plus” version to get that feature. I paid for this “non-plus” version and wished I put that money towards WristTube. That watch app works waaaaaaaaaaay better than this one. I would recommend WristTube over this hands down. If I could, I’d ask for a refund for this app.
