Saw Louis Rossmans original video on the app and figured (and it may well have been) it would be buggy and awful at that point. Decided to gike it a try, the app has all the options I could want for watching youtube, it’s multiplatform to a much greater degree than Newpipe and it’s forks.
The reason I don’t ever expect to go back to Newpipe or Libretube is the plugins update through the app, meaning I can get bypasses to YouTubes bullshit as fast as they’re developed.
Newpipe is usually updated quickly, but in my experience forks like Tubular that include sponsorblocks often delay me from getting that update.
Overall, very good experience so far!
It’s a waaaaaay better experience than the official Twitch app. The fact that it can stream from other websites as well is nifty. Works great for what it is.
Can you override this, yet?
If you mean disable it entirely, I don’t get that warning at alli
My only gripe with GrayJay is the lack of proper rotation support. On a phone might be fine, but on a bedside tablet I’d like to be able to use the whole thing in landscape orientation. And no, the experimental landscape mode under options refuses to rotate the main feed screens…
Bonus points if it’d allow me to use the 180° rotation so I can leave the tablet upside down on its stand and charge it while using it
As far as I can tell, I can rotate the feed screens to landscape AND rotates if I turn my phone (Pixel 6) 𝛑.
Might’ve changed in the last week or something, check if you need an update!
Great app. I often go where there is no connectivity so I can still play music. My only wish was that the resume on play lists is better. It’s kinda guess which song you were last on and you have to tap this dinky link that drops away pretty quick.
I paid for the app as I’d rather give LR my $$$ than the d!(kh3@ds at Google.
It has a LOT of issues still, it has potential, but things like subscriptions rarely actually work for me, and when it does, it takes ages for it to work. Portrait videos don’t work.
I do like how it syncs my watch history, allows me to watch membership content. I wish it allowed me to comment natively as well as like dislikes. However the page button allows you to open the webview for the video giving access to those, not superb, but for sure not bad.
It is good and I am using it however there are lots of bugs.
It’s kinda BS that I haven’t gotten this yet. Louis is my heckin hero!
Guys I gotta complain here though. I am the guy who made the very first comment of “is buying isn’t owning, then pirating isn’t stealing.” It was on this video as technol33t: https://youtu.be/tkmOddW1vu8
On Louis’s latest video he credited and praised someone else who copied my comment! I’ve mostly just been content that nobody would know it’s me and that it’s just cool AF to see something I started go wild. Something about seeing my hero praise someone else for it got me triggered though. I want the credit now!!! Fuuuck me!
