Video Lite 17+

The best alternative to YT app and more

I don’t write reviews for apps hardly ever. But this app has been a godsend to someone who cannot stand long (and sometimes un-skippable)video ads. The referral program is a very nice touch even tho I haven’t used it yet. Had I more coin to spare i would gladly pay the $ for the no-ads package but I hope that the money made off of me from the non-instructive and quickly closable ads (that do NOT interrupt videos often; if at all) can eventually add up to over $10 for the no-ads package because honestly, this person (or team) deserves it.
Constant updates and improvements that easily make the official YT app look like a cheap and greedy knock-off.
Background playback is the biggest cherry-on-top. Fantastic.
Thank you so much for this app. You’re making our video-surfing MUCH more pleasurable while not screwing over your users with any kind of malicious or annoying bait. I appreciate it greatly as I’m sure many others do.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for kind words, we will keep improving the app!

Had to write a review for this one

I owe developers everywhere an apology because I don't review apps i use enough...but this one i felt compelled to change that. I've used this app daily now for over 2 years, and I've been very satisfied the whole time. As always there's a couple minor things I'd change, mostly just the full screen button.***(see footnote below) But overall, this app just works consistently, day after day. I don't have to be a developer to know how hard it is to keep an app that dependable on iOS as it has to flawlessly integrate changes in iOS and yt API. The team beyond Video Lite has done an extraordinary job in that respect!

***For some reason they designed it so the fullscreen button opens a selection box to choose full screen or pip, making the "full screen" action two steps unnecessarily. Pip should just be a separate button, no selection box for either.)

Just started using this, so far so good!

Thank you for saving me from 2 unskippable ads and 2 skippable ads per 30min video. I just wanted to be able to listen to videos while cleaning or crocheting without anticipating an ad to interrupt whatever i was doing at any moment. I haven’t noticed any issues except for comments not loading on occasion, but Im not really there to read them anyways.

I don’t mind an ad once in a while or a modest subscription fee if it keeps this app going. The referral system is a nice touch. I’m totally unwilling to pay YT nearly $20 a month or whatever to escape the relentless ads, so thank you!
