Newpipe or Skytube

...

I use Newpipe and I think it is okay. The dev really stepped up to taking care of the random crashes. I can't speak for the other YT player.

Can you subscribe to channels/track uploads?

That feature has been added to NP, yeah.

Do you need pop-up mode and video/audio downloads? - NewPipe
Do you need comments? - SkyTube

Both apps are good, but I prefer NewPipe. I'm rarely interested in comments, but when I want to see them I open the video webpage.
NewPipe has a much better way of listing videos, but SkyTube's sidebar is better way of accessing subscriptions as it immediately indicates if a new video you haven't watched is up.

both players support subscriptions.

>kiketube

What?

install both if you want skytube's comments

Is comment support ever going to be included in Newpipe? And I want that YouTube feature where you can pull down the video to popup mode

...

I use both. Skytube for comments and copy url to clipboard function, newpipe for my fav must see subscritpions and download ability.

You just watch shit videos m8

...

If you're not a completely indoctrinated sjw fuckward reading comments usually is lots of fun and interesting.

Does Skypipe let you play downloaded audio in the background? If so I'll switch immediately.

Nuh-uh

How ass backwards do you have to be

dtube

Skytube crashes on my toaster phone. With Newpepe at least I can stream video using MXplayer.

>Do you need comments? - SkyTube
Does anyone actually need comments?
Better question- does anyone actually want comments?

Newpipe just got playlist and queue support 10 days ago.

Literally perfect.

They do have a point. YouTube comments are often filled with massive spoilers.

This.
