This is the only app we allow our kids to watch YouTube on. It dispenses with the ads and 90% of the tricks they use to keep you watching (no overlays at the end and no autoplay).
It's nice for listening to music, but a bit cumberstone to use.
I wish:
* the playlist was easily accessible from the left pane drawer
* autoplay was easily toggleable from the playlist view
* the automatically added title wouldn't be a regular title in the playlist before it's played (a bit lower and grayed, and adding items would do so above that title)
* the playlist would show various options for the next automatic title.
I've looked into that. I guess I bit more than I could chew (peertube integration, though now with libtorrent supporting webtorrents, it could be easier).
But nowadays, I don't really want to invest time in the Android ecosystem, especially as I think I'll switch my daily driver to a PinePhone soon enough. The desktop equivalent is freetube, I think.
You can also disable autoplay in the official client.
(and pay for YouTube premium to disable ads; otherwise you're watching videos without contributing back to the people creating them and video hosting/streaming fees)
