Play: Save Videos Watch Later

It's a nice player for YouTube videos and similar (although, at least with YouTube, there is no way to see the current / total time unless you go full screen). There are tags, but folders are a premium feature apparently and I'm not interested in a subscription based app. I was hoping it would be possible to create playlists and sort videos. I think I found the app on a blog ("chriscoyier") which stated the app allows to build playlists, while it's actually more of a categorised play later list. The app probably offer better value when used with Apple TV and if people are happy to pay for the subscription fee.

Play is a great app that has frequent, thoughtful updates. I use it to curate a list of things to watch in YouTube. I love Play because it takes me away from the algorithm and lets me focus on the things I actually want to watch. Background/picture-in-picture watching without a YT subscription is brilliant. And everything syncs up between devices. Such good value and a real improvement to the YT experience. Thank you!!!

I enjoy watching YouTube videos and follow some creators closely. However, I strongly dislike using YouTube and try to stay away as much as possible. This app is brilliant for this. It allows me to follow creators I like (either in the app or via other apps and then sharing to Play), and watch YouTube videos in my player or choice. Fantastic app and reasonable subscription price. Constantly updated and well worth it!

This app is exceptional, with apps for all Mac platforms, each perfectly tailored to the respective OS. The developer is talented, responsive to feedback, and iterates regularly. It's a must have for anyone who uses YouTube regularly and I use it every single day. Highly recommended.

WHAT did I just pay for?? - A 'free' trial??? NOT happy at all about this!!!!!!!!!

Reply to you: No. Not at all. It’s like I (bought & paid for) ordered a seven course meal. Only, after 3 courses, the owner decided to say ‘we put the prices up, pay more, or no more of the meal!’. My analogy is as weak as yours! Still, the point being, the ‘new’ thing you introduced should have been part of a simple update. But, you, as many others do, decided to cash in on it. Great, if that’s how you want to reward your customers take your diner and go elsewhere; I will not give patronage to such despicable methods of extracting more money from already loyal users. To answer the way you did shows you to have a complete disregard for the thoughts of your customers - anyone reading the review and answer can see your level of customer service is wanting. When your app crashes out in 12-24 months (if that long), reflect on the silliness of greed. When the app first came out, I supported it immediately, along with all of the developers other apps. As we’ve all now become used to, supporting an app at it’s beginning to allow the developer to improve it is NOT rewarded by loyalty from developer to customer. I felt so let down when these people introduced a paid UPDATE to the app accompanied by a subscription! The greed and avarice are insatiable, inexcusable and ignorant! I’m not willing to dispense any more money on something I already bought. The functionality introduced that they decided meant forcing a subscription should have been a simple update! When the app withers from lack of custom, reflect it’s based upon very poor decisions grounded in greed!

This is such a good app. It’s the only way I watch YouTube now. The Channels feature means I don’t have to login to YouTube and get distracted! Regular updates are welcome and the UI is gorgeous.

Really nice looking app. Works well but wow is it plastered with premium ads all over it to try and get you to upgrade. This is a paid for app not a free app. I’m ok with developers trying to upsell to increase revenue that’s fine, but give me the option to hide all the huge premium ad box otherwise this should just be a free app. It feels like a freemium app but it costs and costs again. P.S love the heavy shortcuts integration wish more apps did this.

Can’t seem to find how to manage subscribed channels into folders either in YouTube or even in this app. Just end up with a long scrollable list of channels in the Apple TV YouTube app. Was hoping this was a fix for this, seems as though we can just store links to videos and filter by tag?

This has really helped tidy up my various watch later lists in YouTube, Apple TV etc. Great design and very easy to use. Great value for money. Look forward to seeing what v2 brings.
