WatchPlay

I downloaded this thinking it would give me the ability to watch YouTube on my Apple Watch. I was sorely disappointed to find out that once purchased it would not let me log in to my Google account to see my playlists or saved videos or anything. Also, searching on the watch, you have to use voice commands instead of using the draw-to-type, otherwise it crashes. The app has not been updated for over two years so it looks like Google no longer allows access via login. I think mostly this is a remote to control the WatchPlayer app on your phone, just like all the other apps. The one upside to this app, even though it’s paid, is that on your phone, the app supports picture-in-picture playback, unlike the native YouTube app. The drawback, again, is that you cannot log in to your Google account to access your own YouTube channels, so you have to manually search for the video you want to watch.

This is a cool app, it’s impossible to make YouTube videos play on an Apple Watch! It’s not this dev’s fault! People should actually read app descriptions before leaving negative reviews!

This app has not yet been verified by Google in order to use Google Sign in.

It does not work, and when trying to log in with Google, it tells me that it is not verified and that it is not trusted

I can see video on my phone but not on my watch. Don’t but the app!

Just use apple music

I’ve had the app for quite a while now and it’s worked fine but recently my app on my Apple Watch stopped loading my playlists. I would like some support please, given the inconvenient scribble input method I only use the playlist option to open music.

If you want five stars, developer, allow the videos and the sound to play on the Apple Watch.

Just be aware that this doesn’t play the video on the watch itself—it simply acts as a remote control for the video playing inside the iPhone companion app. I should’ve read the description more before buying, but I can’t fault the developer here—the description says it’ll play on your phone. As another comment mentioned, it doesn’t keep you logged in, but the developer says a fix for that is coming soon.

Doesn’t work as hyped up. All it does is act like a remote control for your IPhone that is only a few inches away. Why do you need a remote control? It does not play anything on your watch. WatchTube is a misnomer, should be “YouTube Remote Controller”.
