  1. 5/5Too good to be true?

    This app is unexpectedly genius. The main reason being it could be considered legal. Eventually yt may try to take this app down but the fact that it’s on the App Store says a lot. I normally don’t reverie apps but this one is like a hidden gem you need to try out once at least. Ofc the interface might be a bit annoying since u need to look up videos to watch. But in my opinion that’s fantastic!!! Why? Well it kinda doubles as a screen time controller. Cuz yt scrolling shorts aren’t there + you can’t fall into the addiction trap of the yt video suggestion algorithm. This app makes yt much more old fashioned but just so much better. And hey developer. I really want you to see this message cuz I really appreciate you small developers creating something really special to use few specific rare needed peoples… seriously don’t stop what you are doing. If your app is taken down make another one… One more thing: you wanna know where I found this… on a yt ad.. lol… normal I never click on yt ads cuz they can be dangerously especially when they make claims as this one did… but… oh nah bruh I’m so glad I clicked…. Thanks again for making my life a little better!

  2. 5/5EXACTLY what I wanted

    FINALLY! NO ADS BUT WITH MY VIDEOS I LOVE! So easy to register (like 1 min) and very logical/simple to use. I was just stating the other day how great so many of my nature or fantasy ambience YT videos would be without getting startled by an ad every few mins. I definitely could not fall asleep to any of it….UNTIL NOW! **HUGE THANK YOU DEVS!** I’m so excited to use this app and fall asleep or read to beautiful ambience videos without getting ad annoyed!! It’s basically a playlist app only but with some perks! Like that you can search by the YT link to find the video you want and being able to see the content creator’s other videos if you click on the creator name! I dislike getting distracted by random YT videos and I don’t like doom scrolling so for me this is PERFECT :)

  3. 4/5A Solid Streaming App

    An overall decent streaming app that has a lot going for it. It's not as streamlined as other apps but once you get used to it you can't really go back. While having no ads is nice, it's not the only reason I'm rating this so highly. This app makes a lot of sense when you get used to using it, but I believe that's the biggest downside to this app, you have to get used to using it. What's really holding this app back are the minor inconveniences. For example, your music pausing for a second whenever you exit the app or turn off your phone, then resumes again. When you're searching for a song and you hit 'go' on your keyboard it doesn't do anything and you have to hit the giant button with the word 'search' right below just to find your music. And especially how you can't skip songs through your control panel or through Siri. These minor things make it really difficult for me to enjoy this app to its fullest extent, but I still like using this app. I will continue using it and I do recommend everyone to try it. This app is also one of the only music apps to still work while using a vpn. Sure Musicana and Demus are more streamlined, but if it doesn't work while I have my vpn on what's the point in using it? It's nice to see the developer genuinely taking feedback and making such a wonderful app.

  4. 5/5Best music player by far

    This is great, probably the best music thing on the App Store (namely because of the lack of ads). It does have two downsides though. First, you can’t download songs to listen to offline. I’m not sure if it’s possible to add that as a feature, but it would make the app a lot better. Additionally, when you exit the app and play the music in the background, there’s a little delay and the music skips back about a second. It’s pretty minor but still notable. Otherwise, great app.

  5. 5/5Incredible app

    App is great for everything I’d need it for. Only suggestion I could give and this isn’t even a need but just a qol is to have a Picture in Picture when going back to the search menu, this would allow the current vid to play while I add another to the queue. This works while inside a playlist but not for common use in the search bar.
