    Since its using YT Music in the background, its not 100% reliable. Youtube changes small stuff on their site and API from time to time which breaks these Apps. Happens once every couple of weeks. Just be aware of that!

    This is kinda bad. The UI is inconsistent, laggy and overall ugly.

    I very much prefer Innertune as it has consistency and works much better than this. Loading takes a ton of time for whatever reason.

      Yeah, not sure why OP is so damn condescending here. I just tried this app today because Innertune is currently having issues playing songs and this one works.

      The interface is super confusing, tapping some buttons changes other buttons next to them without any apparent reason. No explanations what symbols mean. It took me a while to find where the “liked” songs end up. Then I later tried to find it again and just couldn’t find it anymore.

        Yeah it’s just not good at all. A song with a white heavy cover art just turn the entire screen white in “Playing Now” screen. Like, why? I don’t want my eyes get any worse thank you.

        By the way, Innertune’s issue is fixed now.

        Because “overall ugly” is not a constructive comment. They may not like it, that’s okay, not a reason to shit on the app

          what? … not liking an app is the most appropriate reason to shit on an app.

                What a useless debate. Anyway they were asking why I was “condescending”, well if you shit on a voluntary work, just because it’s not at your taste, you are a shit person

                  voluntary work doesn’t make you immune to criticism and no you’re not a shit person for criticizing any work.

                  I’d say you’re a shit person if you can’t handle criticism though.

                  I don’t give a shit if I’m a shit person for “shitting” on voluntary work. That is how progress is made. Sorry if it bursts your bubble.

                  Besides, you speak as if I only typed “overall ugly” and left it there. As you can see, I gave more reasons. And all those are valid reasons.

    If only it didn’t use YTM as a backend. Youtube Music has the absolute worst recommendations I have ever used. It will literally play a song from an artist I never heard before in a genre I don’t listen to. It’s completely random. I wish OGG players were more popular.

    It also the only FOSS YT-based music player that actually support ruby text lyrics for Japanese.

    Honestly have no experience here, but is this at all worth a look if you aren’t paying for YT? I’ve considered reshuffling/reducing the subscriptions I have and Spotify is probably the one I’m most attached to.

    Looks nice but UI performance is pretty bad, framerate drops all the time whereas the YT Music app works pretty much flawlessly.
